Reddit Single Mom Dating
There is no rule that states single moms must end up with a man or a woman with kids. Just because you have kids, it doesn’t put you in a bubble, forcing you to just date other single parents. In actuality, many childless singles find single moms very attractive as they can, in a lot of ways, be more mature and independent than a young, developing woman. While this isn’t always the case and children don’t always change women for the better, many women grow in maturity exponentially from the moment that baby enters their life.
The truth of the matter is, women with kids can date whoever they want, whenever they want. If you’re a woman just starting to date a guy without kids, here are a few pieces of advice to help you navigate the new relationship.
- Single mothers with young kids seem to be the worst of the breed. The ones who worship their kids and refuse to make time for anything else are the worst offenders. Back in the day when I was doing internet dating, you could see them coming from a country mile away.
- Understand her priorities. The number one thing many single moms want potential partners to know.

1. Don’t push the kids on him. Yes, we know they are the biggest part of your life and one day they will be the final factor in whether or not your relationship will work or not. The final AND the most important factor. The thing is, there is no rush. Let the relationship organically grow and see how deep it gets before you introduce the kids and bring them into your relationship.

2. Give him a chance to grow. If he is a guy that has never dated a single mom before, chances are he is going to hit a serious learning curve early on in the relationship. He will need time to think about what it means to him and the new responsibilities that will come his way. Let him grow into his own thoughts and give him a chance to decide if this is a step he wants to take. Don’t distance yourself but be open to answering questions and giving him a helpful platform to understand what it all means.
3. Try to let him still be a guy without kids. This is especially important in the beginning. Eventually this will all mesh together and he will forget what it’s like to not have kids in his life, but in the beginning stages, it’s important that you meet him at his level at times. Encourage him to keep his routine, his hobbies, his passions etc. Let him “do him” without too many changes. If he’s one to shy away from change and you’re coming in and changing his lifestyle, he may stop giving the relationship an honest try.
4. Try to keep him out of the “parenting” for a bit. It’s important that he sees that you are a strong role model for your kids, but slowly introduce that concept to him. Even though it may be hard, try to avoid talking too much about them in the beginning, try to not share too many details of the parenting decisions you are constantly making on a regular basis and try to avoid asking for help in the beginning. When you’re further down the line he will WANT to help you and your kids, but let him get there on his own.

5. Help him learn to parent. You’ve been at it a while most likely, or you’ve already established your parenting techniques, methods and routines. He has not needed to acquire those skills yet, so he will need to learn. Help him, guide him and create an environment for him where he has a chance to find his own parenting skills. Giving him tips is okay, but don’t tell him what to do. Don’t stunt his growth with being over controlling. Yes, they are your kids and he’s new to the family, but he needs to learn to find his place as a potential step-dad as well.
