Are you a single parent that's dating?
After my divorce I remember how tough it was getting back into the dating scene - not a barrel of laughs when you're worried about doing the right thing by your children and wanting to make sure you bring someone very special in their life as a potential step-parent.
After dating a few frogs I thankfully lucked out and met some wonderful. In my weekly Love Clinic on iVillage UK I've tackled one woman's dilemma about being a single mother and the man she's met recently... he's not behaving exactly like he should do. Check my advice if you're in this situation.
TODAY’S TIP: the biggest tip that I've got is never rush into anything when you're a single parent. The risk is you're lonely and you want to feel some arms around you and don't think of the impact it may have on your children.
Take your time introducing someone new to them - if you get attached to someone they're bound to. Sometimes it's an even harder wrench for your children when you decide the person isn't right for you. Your child's left thinking, "well they were right for me!"
Take it slow and sure.
Happy dating, Pamx
