to ask single mums how they found love again?

[saveusernameplease]

I'm a single mum. Not interested in dating at the moment but sure I will be in the future. I'm worried about how hard it's going to be...

Can I ask any single mums out there how they met their new partner, and whether it was hard dating when you have a child?

@saveusernameplease it was online dating in its infancy. 16 years ago

In Subway dating was fine we just went out when my son was at his dads (every weekend) and later on he'd come over when DS was in bed until I was ready to introduce them

Online dating. We're now married and very happy

Plenty of fish. Married nearly 10 years now.

I've looked at online dating before but it's a minefield. Hurts my head! Maybe I'll try again when my son's older :)

Tinder!

I was 35, Waited until the kids were older (11 and 12) and he was the first person I matched with. He had dc the same age which was perfect. Been together a good few years, wedding booked for 2020 and our 2nd dc together is due this week!

You have to be really brutal with online dating. Don’t be afraid to block and delete frequently!

Tinder here too. I’d been separated from my ex for around a year, had three very young DC. Did not think I’d find anyone at all, did have to kiss a couple of frogs from there before I met DP so to speak but yeah. Been together a little over four years, own a house together and have a six month old.

He does not have any other children and we waited ages to introduce him to my DC but they have a very close relationship now.

Met at work.

Dating with a child isn't easy, but in some ways it's been better, in others much harder.

I liked that at the beginning we couldn't rush into spending too much time together, as I had DD. We made a bit more of an effort in the time we were seeing each other.

Obviously much harder logistically and where I'm free and DP has plans, it can hugely reduce the amount of time we see each other that week.

Through an activity my DC did. He was one of the instructors. Got to know him slowly and then started dating. We are married now.

He obviously already knew my child but I still took it slowly introducing him as more than his instructor. They have an amazing relationship now.
