New Ways To Think About Single Parent Dating

If you feel anxious about not being in a relationship, it may be time to adopt a whole new attitude toward single parent dating. Consider how these small changes could alter your perspective and help you enjoy the full, rich life you deserve. Keep in mind, too, this dating advice isn’t just about finding “the” relationship. It’s also about the importance of timing and self-care.

Focus on expanding your social circle instead of “finding a mate”

Change your definition of what it means to have an active social life. When you focus on finding “the one“, you’re bound to put a lot of pressure on yourself. This can have two negative effects: First, it can cause you to make poor decisions; and, second, it can lead to unnecessary disappointment with an otherwise fulfilling life.

When you place your attention on expanding your social circle, though, you free yourself from that pressure. This enables you to focus on friendships and being with people who lift you up and bring joy to your life.

Make your social life part of your self-care plan

To say you are “extremely busy” working and raising your children is an understatement. In fact, you may even feel like you just don’t have time to date. If that’s the case, I’d encourage you to think of socializing as part of taking care of yourself. You deserve to get out now and then. Spending some time away from your home and work responsibilities can be a refreshing part of honoring who you are and getting to know yourself again. Rather than feeling guilty about social engagements, view them as a part of your personal self-care plan.

Build each potential relationship on friendship, not just attraction

Chances are, you pretty much know immediately whether you are attracted to someone or not. Rather than allowing only physical attraction to define your relationship, though, focus on really getting to know one another and exploring your common interests. This may require discipline and even some restraint. However, taking the time to get to know someone as a friend will allow you to see their best and worst qualities with clarity and make objective decisions about the potential of your relationship.

Be bold

Take some risks. If you have serious hopes about enjoying a meaningful single parent dating relationship, you’re going to have to do some things you might not ordinarily do, in order to maximize your social opportunities. For some people this means being bold enough to initiate a conversation while standing in the checkout line. For others, it means going back to church, signing up with an online dating service, or putting the word “out” among friends that you’d like to find someone. Certainly you should never do something that makes you uncomfortable or that compromises your integrity. However, taking small risks that place you just outside your comfort zone can put you in a good position to meet many new and interesting people.

You are worth waiting for the right relationship

Finally, don’t compromise. You’re not looking for someone who treats you well “most” of the time, makes you feel “somewhat” important, or has “a little bit” of respect for the work you do in the world. You are worth more than that, so don’t compromise yourself when you begin a new relationship or follow the latest single parent dating advice from a friend. If you haven’t believed in yourself up until now, then this is the time to throw away your old thinking habits and adopt a new attitude concerning your worth as a friend, a dating companion, and potentially as a mate.
