Father's Day Dating Tips for the Single Dad
Date.com’s advice for single Dad’s looking for the gift of love this Father’s Day.
New York NY (PRWEB) June 19, 2005 –- Date.com, the leading online dating site
with more than two million members nationwide, is giving single Dad’s a Father’s
Day gift to remember. For men who have been off the market and find themselves
single after a long-term relationship or marriage, the dating scene can be
confusing and intimidating. Imagine how nervous kids feel as they watch Dad get
ready for a date.
Date.com’s relationship advisor, Brenda Ross, has put
together refresher dating tips to get men, in every stage of the dating scene,
into the right frame of mind. The following advice for a healthy, successful and
long-lasting relationship also considers children’s feelings as they watch Dad
navigate the dating circuit.
Brand New Single Dads: Give yourself a
reasonable time to heal before beginning any new relationship. It's very
tempting to jump into something new, but doing it to avoid the pain of a recent
break-up will eventually lead to hurt feelings all around. When you're ready to
date again, let your friends, neighbors and relatives know that you are
available and looking. Many happy couples are the result of a friend or family
fix-up.
New Single Dads Preparing for the First Date: Make sure to keep
the time you spend with your children and the time you dedicate to dating
separate. This is especially important for weekend parents. You want your kids
to know that your time with them is valued. Children will often resent someone
new if they feel that their kid-parent time is being cut short or imposed
upon.
New Single Dads Already Dating a Short Time: Talk to your children
about the subject of your dating. When you're ready to take the next step, don't
let them discourage you. Being honest and upfront makes everyone's life
easier.
Single Dads Starting to Get Serious: There should never be a rush
to introduce someone new to your children, especially if you aren't sure if the
relationship has long-term potential. A new relationship might feel promising,
but only time will tell, so wait a bit before you bring someone new into your
inner circle. Introducing a succession of new people to your children only
creates uncertainty and a lack of security.
ÿ Single Dads Preparing to
Involve the Family: Be wary of a potential date who only wants to see you
without your children. Although it's more conducive to romance, a healthy
relationship has a mix of grown up and kid-related activities.
Seasoned
Single Dads: Be patient. It could take months or more to meet someone special.
Stick to your internal list of what you are looking for in a partner, and your
list of deal breakers. Be honest about who you are and what you are looking for.
Become friends with your dates. The person you went out with last Saturday night
might not have been "the one," but we all have friends, and one of those friends
could wind up being your future partner.
