I have a date on Friday with a single mom. Any advice?

This would probably be a better question for the guys that have been in the same boat or at least both genders. Most girls are not going to know what dating a single mom is like unless they are one. I'll take a stab at it though. I would go in with the understanding that her child is going to come first. While that doesn't effect the date, it could in the future. I bet it is tough for her to get out. She is supporting a child, working likely and not a lot of time on her hands. So, just be prepared that she might not be able to be available a lot. You might have to play to her schedule.

Im a busy guy myself with work, family and friends so I understqnd needing to scheduling your time. My biggest question is: I really like her but am not sure if I want to become an instant dad. what do I say if she brings it up?

[_Maya_]

She definitely isn't going to expect that. In fact, most will be closely guarded with their child. They aren't going to want men coming and going from the child's life. I wouldn't worry. It actually sounds like a good match if you are both busy.

what should I wear? Is a dinner date boring? I haven't been on a date in almost 5 years.

[_Maya_]

Dinner isn't boring at all. Especially and adullt dinner for a single mom that doesn't have a kid to feed and clean up. It's a good idea. I would like it.

She told me her two daughters are teenagers. Im 31 and she's in mid 40s.

[_Maya_]

That makes it easier then because they are older. Still though! A nice adult night, dinner and drinks is likely going to be a welcome change for her.

I so appreciate your advice. I could keep asking you questions but dont want to bother you

[_Maya_]

Oh no! Please do. You aren't bothering me at all. That is what this site is for. Happy to give my two cents.

Me and her actually met a few years ago at a Halloween Party. I doubt she remembers I was dressed as Batman and she was dressed as a nurse.

[_Maya_]

That's a good talking point. Tuck that one away in your pocket in case conversation slows and you need something. Oh, you remember so and so's Halloween party years back. I remember you dressed as a nurse and I was batman. Fun party etc etc

[muscles_glasses]

It was a super awkward night so I probably won't bring it up.

[_Maya_]

Ah, gotcha. I didn't know. But it is q good point to have a couple conversation starters in your pocket. Just think of a couple things you could both enjoy talking about.

[muscles_glasses]

ummmm... she just sent me a very sexy picture of herself but the message below said thinking of you Robert

[_Maya_]

That's not good.

[muscles_glasses]

What do I say?

[_Maya_]

Maybe did you mean to send this to ME?

[muscles_glasses]

I just wrote that to her

[_Maya_]

Dang hope this works out. I have to go to work. Bartender. Let me know though!

[muscles_glasses]

I think its cool your a bartender.

[muscles_glasses]

we messaged back and forth and we are still going on our date tomorrow.

[_Maya_]

That's great! Hope it goes well and you both have a good time!

[muscles_glasses]

it was silly of me to think I was the only guy she was dating

[_Maya_]

Wait, did I miss something? She is dating other guys too? I must have missed that.

[muscles_glasses]

sorry I thought explained... me and her are going a first date

[muscles_glasses]
