The Right Woman For A Single Dad

You’re a single dad now and that means that you have to carefully consider the qualities to look for in the woman who may one day be part of your child’s life. When jumping back into the dating scene, you must consider whether or not the woman that your dating has the ability to be a sufficient female role model for your children.

When dating as a single dad, the best woman for you is one who deeply and instinctively appreciates children. Being a single father, any woman you invite into your life will impact your child in some way. Keep in mind that there are women out there who have very little interest and/ or dislike children altogether. Finding out how a woman who feels about children before you even go on a first date will help you decide if this relationship is one worth pursuing. Remember, you are looking for a woman who is caring and treats your kids with a lot of love. The woman you are dating should have a soft spot for your kids and should show them plenty of affection because that is the only way they will bond and connect with her.

Any woman that wants to be a part of your life has to understand that when you are an active single father, your kids have to be your priority. The woman you're dating should be patient and understand that as a single dad, you always have to be prepared for the unexpected regardless of your child’s age, like those nights when you'll have to cancel that intimate date and rush your little one to the emergency room. A good woman will automatically understand that you have enough love in you to share with her as well. If she isn't flexible and throws tantrums when your kids dare to take your time away from her, you should stop seeing her.

A single father is a special guy, and a special guy needs to meet a special woman who will empathetic enough to love you and your kids. Juggling between drama-queen girlfriends and your kids just does not work out. Remember, trust your instincts and avoid any woman who gives you any wrong vibes. Chances are if your gut says no, this woman probably isn’t right for you or your children.
