Single Moms Dating Again

If you're a single mom and you have created an Internet dating profile, be upfront and tell the truth.. Why waste your time and the time of men who are not interested in women with kids.
If you meet a man in your daily life, you don't have to reveal it right away. If you do get to go out on a date with him, I believe it's necessary to tell the whole story before you may be asked out on a second date.
It's also a good idea to keep your child out of the picture. However, if you are dating a guy exclusively for at least six months, consider an introduction--but no sleepovers at your house until you've told your child that you have a commitment.
How you describe your relationship with your "friend" to your child (children) depends on their age(s). With young children you can say that the sleepovers are like play dates and they have nothing to do with the time that you share with them and no matter what else, the child is your first priority. Make sure the guy you are seeing understands that as well.
