Single Mother Dating Advice
Families and Living Arrangements noted that there were 12.9 million single parent families in 2006; 10.4 million single mother families and 2.5 million single father families. According to stats, the inflation of single mothers continues with no signs of slowing down. That leaves a single mother to play more than just the role that she was created to play. Not only is she a single mother, but she’s also plays the role of a father as well.
Having to play two roles is a big responsibility. Many single mothers spend most of their time working long hours in order to support their child, which in many cases, children. Their lives no longer belong to them anymore because it is now sacrificed on behalf of the well-being of their children. They spend so much time trying to fill voids in the lives of their children that their own personal voids aren’t met. Some may find it hard considering the “luggage” they now carry, and may not know how to get back into the dating scene.
Single mothers tend to hold back when it comes to dating. One reason is because they believe that having a child is enough to scare every man away. They lose the confidence and the hope they once had, which in turn, outs the flame that once lit up their presence. Even when they do meet someone, it takes a while for the topic about having kids to come up. They’re afraid that it might put a dent on their progress.
To all of my single mothers, how can you expect someone to embrace you when you have yet to embrace yourself? The real problem isn’t about the men not wanting a single mother. The real problem is a single mother not seeing why a single man would be interested in her. See, a man will only value a woman as much as she values herself. If a woman, although a single mother, presents herself as a woman of value, then a man will accept her as just that, despite of what comes with the territory.
Women worry so much about the way men perceive them that they forget what a real man represents. I’ll help you out with that. The following paints that picture:
- A real man respects a woman no matter what, and never says or does anything that would degrade her in any way.
- A real man admires a single mother and treats her with dignity, realizing that only a strong woman could take on such a challenging task without defeat.
- A real man doesn’t leave a good woman just because she’s a single mother, but instead, embraces the situation knowing that for a good woman, he’ll take all the responsibilities that may come along with her.
- A real man doesn’t allow a child to come between him and his feelings for a woman. He doesn’t only accept her, but he also accepts her child. He doesn’t only see the both of them, but instead, all of them, as a family.
That’s what a real man does! And if a single mother wants to be accepted by a real man, then she has no reason to fear being alone because a real man takes her as she is.
