My Buddy Needs Advice For Dating A Single Parent
My friend is seriously starting to drive himself nuts trying to figure out how to keep his new girlfriend's attention on him and him alone. I thought this meant that she was either cheating on him or looking at other guys a little longer than she should while passing them on the streets. Then he told me that he met her through a single parent dating site. Why he bothered, since he's not a parent himself, is beyond me. Being the kind friend that I am, I decided to give him some advice for dating a single parent.
My first tidbit was a simple rule to follow: "get used to it." Just because she's busy all the time doesn't necessarily mean she's cheating or a scatterbrains or whatever. Chances are she's busy with her kids! The more rugrats she's got, the higher her odds of being preoccupied become. That impatience you've got is a hurdle you'll just have to overcome when dating single parent.
Next should be self-evident, but in case it's not, let me make it painfully clear: never, ever make her choose you over her kids for any reason. Little Jenny's got yet another ballet recital for umpteenth time this month while you've got court-side tickets to the game of the century? You're either going to the ballet recital with her or you're going to the game alone.
What other advice for dating a single parent is there? Oh yeah! If you value your life, never piss off the kids! Not only are you likely to end up in the doghouse for a week if you do, but they'll kill you! And we're not talking whoopee cushions beneath your butt every single time you sit down. It's the 21st century! They'll glue stinky cheese all over you while you're in your underwear and put a picture of it on Facebook! And that's just for starters!
Single parents meet people hunting for "desperate" lovers all the time. So my last little bit of advice for dating a single parent is to have true intentions. Contrary to popular belief, most single parents have all the love they need in their kids. If you can accept both their kids in your heart as well as the parent, then you should have no problem finding true happiness.
