15 Reasons to Date a Single Mom
Don’t let her kids scare you off. That cute single mom might be the future Mrs. You.
Here are 15 reasons to date a single mom.
1. She’s no wimp. Single moms are tough and independent.
2. She’s already a great mom. (And weren’t you looking for someone who would be a great mother? Look no further!)
3. She’s incredibly patient, but doesn’t have a lot of tolerance for bad behavior. She’ll be good for you.
4. She doesn’t play games. She doesn’t have time to just fool around. She takes her relationships seriously.
5. She’ll only keep you around if the relationship is a good thing for both her and her kids. You won’t have to guess if she’s into you.
6. Single moms are easy to pamper. (They don’t get breaks very often. Hint, hint.)
7. She’s loyal — and is fiercely protective of her little brood.
8. She can articulate what she wants and needs from a relationship.
9. Single moms are both practical and fun. There’s no room for diva behavior.
10. She’s no longer a party girl, but a fun night out is still very welcome.
11. She’s selfless. Single moms put others’ needs before their own.
12. Moms make the best lasagna and give the best back rubs.
13. You’ll get to take part in adventures to amusement parks, the zoo and the park. Bonus: You’ll have an excuse to play with toys.
14. She’s adaptable. She knows that life doesn’t always go as planned and has learned how to make the best of it.
15. Single moms can do it all, but are super-appreciative of a helping hand. Woo her with kindness and acts of service.
Why else should one date a single mom?

Super awsome. I enjoyed
ReplyDeleteThank you Skye :)
Delete1) Not a guarantee. Single moms often claim to be tough and independent while relying on others for a great deal. Often they come across us unappreciative.
ReplyDelete2) A single mom is not great by default. Some are pretty awful.
3) I like the assumption that the guy is a problem no matter who he is. That critical assumption is always good for guys. We need someone in our life that will assume every problem is our doing… yeah!
4) This is very true, although long into the relationship every date will still feel like a job interview.
5) Yes. You only have value based on the value you have accumulated that will aid in raising her child, although into you may only reach as far as your assets.
6) Yes, keep it simple stupid. Spend too much and you are wasteful; spend too little and you are cheap. Better to not spend and focus on finding ways to be of service. That way when she finds something wrong, at least you have her own argument to use against her.
7) Loyal? Only if you version of loyal does not extend to you. In dating single moms, expect many occasions where you are reminded out of the blue that you are merely a distant… very distant second. Loyal as long as you are of a great enough use, but yes very loyal to her child.
8) This is very true. She will tell you exactly what she wants you to give and do.
9) One of the nice things about single moms despite everything else is the fact that they have outgrown Diva-hood… most of the time.
10) If you are young, you really want a party girl. If you are around 30 or above, you probably won’t want a party girl.
11) Again, generally only for the child. Often times single moms can become very demanding for themselves because you are supposed compensate for the selfless part of their life they direct at their child.
12) I dated a lot of single moms for a while (not that I was looking for them at all). I have never been given a back rub, I always gave them. Of all the meals I have enjoyed (because that is a perk), I have never had lasagna made by the woman I was dating.
13) Upside and downside. If the kid is awesome then these will be adventures. If you are not doing well, this will be torture. Downside is also the fact that if you and the kid get along and the relationship fails, you’re screwed. Get ready for some of the worst pain you will ever know because you are and always will be completely irrelevant unless you are viewed as a resource for the relationship.
14) Another truth. Single moms adapt well, most of the time, to problems and changes.
15) No single mom I have ever dated can do it all. In fact the are very proficient at finding people to do things for them. As for acts of service, they are the best foundation for any long term relationship.
each thing has two ways to look at. for example I will tell u a joke:
Deletetwo old women were talking.
1st: Sister how is your daughter-in-law?
2nd: She is a bitch. she wakes up real late, makes my son make coffee and breakfast for her, and then she lazes whole day while my poor son does all the household work.
1st: what about your son-in-law?
2nd: He is jewel. he makes coffee and breakfast for my daughter by the time she gets up. and he doesn't allow my daughter to work at all. he does all household work while my daughter rests whole day.
Perception matters.
