Dating like a single mother is not all wrong - here's why

And why some even bring their children on the first date.


There are more than 11 million single-parent families in the United States and, of them, the overwhelming majority (80%) are women. If you are a single mother, especially one over a certain age, it might not sound a very promising statistic for your meetings.

Fortunately, however, there is good news. Given how much it is prevail today, a single mother does not have the same social stigma she has brought once. There are many men out there who do not have children from their own but are super enthusiastic about adopting the role of father to a child who is not biologically theirs. AndWhile the online meeting has its disadvantagesStatistics have shown that this has been particularly useful for people as single moms, who do not have the ability to go for men in regular bars.

In Celebration of Mother's Day, a team of researchers on the online dating siteeharmony Monitored 509 single mother and active users to find out how they sail in the modern world of single parents. On average, mothers were 47.7 years old and had 2 children. 67.6% are divorced, 16.1% are widowed and 16.3% have never been married.

Although divorced men are notorious to bounce the meetings market after a divorce, it seems that women like to take their time, 35.8% saying they were waiting for 6 months to a year to return the dating basin.

Once they start going out, many single mothers are facing the question of when they should bring their children into conversation. Do not mention them, like a fairly blatant omission. But, on the other hand, some women are worried about raising children to a first date could trigger a man's "fighting or flying" answer, namely the "Flight" part.

Indeed, the research of Eharmony show that, the youngest of the child is, the more the woman could feel to mention that she has one. That said, the number of women who said they felt nervous feeling about admitting that they had a child was very low (8.25%).

As mentioned earlier, there is no more stigma around being a single mother, so instead of feeling embarrassed by this one, just possess it. There are many single mothers on dating sites that not only admit as much in their profile, but publish photos with their children. If a guy has "frightened" by the prospect of dating a woman with a child, then he would have been a waste of time anyway.

If you are wondering when you wonder to present your child to your new beauty, the research found that more than half of the women wait until they engaged in a serious relationship. About 33% said they introduced them after a few months, regardless of their status, and an additional 10% stated that they would be good with that after a few dates. In fact, 10% of mothers even stated that they took their child on a date with them, which is likely to become a growing trend, because, let's be real, child care is expensive.
