Put every thing in perspective. Remember, your primary objective in life right now is raising your children.
Dating is sticky issue. You really don’t want your child to be exposed to every man/ woman you decide to check out. This takes creativities and cooperation.
There is no need for your children to meet someone you’re dating until your children and your prospective significant other are ready for it.
Always go to a new relationship expecting very little from it. That way you and your children will not be disappointed.
You should always meet your date somewhere near your home, but not at your home until you get to know him pretty well.
Above all, do not be desperate to change your single parent status.
