Dating with a toddler help please!
1 year ago  ::  Feb 15, 2012 - 1:28PM #1
Hey ladies! Ok so my daughter is 9 months old and I think I'm ready to try dating again since her father hasn't been in the picture since the moment I told him I was pregnant. It's really hard to try to find a decent guy out there that either has his life straightened out or is accepting of me having a daughter!

Do any of you have any tips for me on where to possibly meet guys or how to go about the dating thing again? It's been a long time since I've tried actual dating but I can't stand being alone anymore.

Also, how do you ladies explain your dates to your children? Like if I do meet that Mr. Right would I have my daughter call him daddy? Ahh! So much I'm thinking and worried about!

Any advice is welcome!!
Thanks, Stephanie :)

Hi Stephiebaby,


First, congratulations on taking a big step out into the dating world. The great thing is that you don't have to let anyone meet your baby until you are 100% ready for them to meet her.


By waiting to introduce baby to a boyfriend, it protects baby and saves you the heartache.


Think of the kid of man you would like and go from there. I am guessing you would like one that is responsible, kind and marriage minded. If that is the case, than try talking to some of your older friends or your mom and her friends and see if they know of anyone worthy of dating you. Sometimes when we want something so bad we put blinders on and don't see what we are getting into. Your mom and her friends are going to have your best interest at heart.


Set up a few rules for yourself. Like: they have to have a job.


Hope this helps. Keep us posted!


Tammy

Hey!


Ive been a single mom now since my daughter was 4 months old. She is almost twp now. I jsut let things go with the flow. And number one I always say Hey look i have a daughter. If they dont like it they can move on because she is number one in my life. And then I take it slow. I dont let them meet my daughter right away. I seen one guy for a couple months we didnt last. Now I have been single about a yr and now ive meet someone who I really like.. So yea how is the dating coming along?
