A single mother is not just a socially determined role. You should wear this title as a crown. However, being a single mom sometimes gets too hard – you have to be everyone for your children at the same time (a parent, a provider, a driver, a teacher, a cleaner, a cooker, and a freaking magician to make all this work properly) and look natural to make your children feel happy.

Mother’s problems and anxieties can remarkably affect her children. Therefore, if a single mother cuts herself from social interactions and dating, absorbing dissatisfaction with her life, children will eventually feel it (no matter how hard she is trying to protect them from this threatening effect).

To solve this problem, we are going to help you get back to the dating stage with minimal loss. You see, every woman has physical and emotional needs. Sex, love, care, relationship make our life complete (don’t get us wrong, we know that some people feel complete even without these constituents of social life; we are sending this message to the great majority of women). Dating as a single mother requires some effort. Having accomplished our knowledge with the information provided by Russian single ladies, we have gathered a dating guide for single mothers.

Harmonize your personality

Your previous relationship must have affected your emotional stability in some way. Even if not, you are probably nervous all the time because of numerous responsibilities and activities you have to take part in. Harmonizing yourself means finding peace in you by balancing every part of your personality and activity. Otherwise, you won’t be able to start successful relationship – you are going to be a part of it, a dis-harmonized one.

 Work on your timetable

Children may take a lot of time, especially if you are a working mother. Frankly speaking, we cannot even imagine how you manage to deal with all this stuff! However, there is always room for improvements. If you focus on enhancing your timetable, you may find some time for yourself, social interaction, fitness, or whatever you find useful. The point is to find voids – time segments that you waste or do not use with the highest outcome. Get rid of some excessive activities and normalize your sleeping.

 Figure out your needs

It sometimes happens that we fall for social opinion and start looking for mates when we don’t feel like doing so at all. Hey, you are a young single mother; social influence is that last thing you want to consider! Think of your life in general, define topical needs of this period of life. It might appear that dating is not in the list of your current needs – and it’s totally fine.

Look for a right partner

Since you are in special conditions and responsible for others (your children), you should seek a partner that can fit your schedule and needs. For instance, we do not recommend you to fall for youngsters, frat boys, or other immature representatives. You could just have another child instead of dating such person. In general, you should look for the one who will feel totally okay about your specific schedule and responsibilities.

 Discuss it with your children

Regardless of the reasons why you are single now, your children have to know about your preferences and agenda. In the end, your kids might not be ready for such changes. You should gradually imply your new relationship in your family’s life. Otherwise, you risk shocking your children and setting them against your prospective boyfriend before you even started dating. These are your kids and you indeed know their psychological peculiarities.
