When you're on the dating scene, there is no reason to not include single parents in your dating pool.
A man who has raised his kids on his own or mostly on his own is selfless, caring, and loving.
Of course, there are single dads out there who are not worth giving the time of day. But if you come across one who does not bad mouth his children's mother, is accountable for his financial obligations, is involved in his children's lives, and admits his part in his previous relationship not working out; he's a keeper!
1. He Won't Rush Into Things.
Single dads are busy, so when you're dating one you need to understand that his number one priority is his kids! Since he's busy being responsible for other lives, you'll know he won't be desperate bothering you.
2. He's Not Self-Centered
His kids are the center of his world and if you make the cut, you might be too. He's mature and understands that there's more too life than the freshest kicks and a shiny watch.
3. He's Responsible
He might not be able to go on a date when he has the kids for the weekend, but at least you know he's accountable! Plus, you'll have him all to yourself on the other weekends.
4. He Can Be Sensitive
Especially if he's had a daughter and had to participate in a tea party, he has the strength to be soft. He knows there is nothing wrong with a little love and affection. He'll be cool with holding hangs, hugs, kisses, and cuddling.
5. He's A Good Listener
He's listened and talked to his kids talk about the bully at school or their imaginary friends, so he'll be excited to talk to you about more mature topics.
6. He Is Considering You In His Kids' Lives
Single dads keep their guards up. If he keeps you around, there's no greater honor or reassurance that he sees a future with you than when he introduces you to his kids.
7. He Isn't Looking For A Hookup
Single dads don't have time to play or waste, they are in it for the long haul.
8. He's Patient
He's practiced his patience with his kids, so he should have a little left over for you.
9. He Has A Good Sense Of Humor
He'll be the perfect dose of playful and cheesy.
10. He's A Role Model
He knows he has young watchful eyes observing his every move, so he'll always strive to be on his best behavior and a good example.
All of the aforementioned reasons go for a single mom too! So don't discriminate in the dating pool. But also keep in mind not all single dads are dating material...
