There are plenty, like me, who are blissfully lacking in life experience, have yet to reach the bigand spend more time swiping left on Tinder instead. Not to mention that in the rare and precious moments I do have to myself, it feels like a major risk to spend that time with someone I might never see again rather than catching up with friends, reading, zoning out to Netflix, or, you know, sleeping. In spite of this barrage of challenges, I still have hope. I mean, if I can manage to balance everything life throws my way while parenting an infant at my young age, I can certainly handle dating. Still, to sharpen my skills before heading into the trenches, I asked a few experts for advice on navigating the dating scene as a single something mom.
I've been a single mom for a propos four years now, and I be able to honestly say that it's changed me for the better. My dating life? While I haven't been on a ton of dates because, hello, after do I have time for that?! Remember those carefree evenings when you would go out on a appointment and you'd be able to accede to the night linger on forever — even if the date was average — because you had nothing also to do? Yeah, those are the paleolithic years of my dating animation. Now, I can't just drop all that I am doing to be suspended out with a man for hours at a time.
