11 Dating Tips For Single Parent

Singloe Parents

1. ARE YOU READY TO DATE AGAIN?
Ask yourself if you’re really ready yet to find someone new. Don’t jump into anything too soon. Both you and your kids might need some time before there’s another man in the house.
Succeed in love and life with the advice from a trusted life advisor

2. WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
Before you start dating, think about what you want: something long-term and serious or just a quick fling? Think about what would be best for you and your family right now.


3. PICTURE THEM IN YOUR FAMILY
If you think you’ve found the right guy, try to picture them as part of your family. Would they get on with your kids? Would they fit in with your lifestyle?

4. ASK HYPOTHETICAL QUESTIONS
Before coming home one day saying ‘hey kids, meet…’, try to test the water first. Ask how they would feel if you were to starting seeing someone. Would they mind? Then you know how they feel before the sparks fly.

5. GIVE YOUR KIDS TIME AND SPACE
Don’t expect your kids to warm to a new guy straight away. Some will need more time than others to adjust, so let them!


6. EXPECT THEIR FEELINGS TO CHANGE
If your kids like this new guy straight away, don’t think that you can relax and can stop trying. And if they hate him at first, don’t think that they won’t warm to them! It can take a while for children to establish how they feel, so be patient and let them figure things out.

7. BALANCE YOUR TIME
Try to find a balance between the time you devote to dating and to your children. Don’t abandon one or the other!

8. MAKE SURE IT’S SERIOUS BEFORE INTRODUCING
There’s no point putting your kids through all the emotional upheaval of adjusting to a new partner if it soon turns out to just be a quick fling! Make sure there’s at least potential for a serious future.


9. PRACTICAL ARRANGEMENTS
It may seem silly but think about how things would work practically if you had a new partner. Would your kids be freaked out if they saw him walk out of your room in the morning? Or would you stay over at his place? These are the kind of things to think about!

10. SPEAK TO FRIENDS/PEOPLE WHO’VE BEEN THROUGH IT
There’s no better person to give you advice than your friends or someone who’s been through it themselves. If it’s completely new territory for you, you’re not expected to know how to handle it!

11. REALIZE THAT YOU’RE ALLOWED TO HAVE A LIFE!
Just because you have kids doesn’t mean that you can’t have fun and date! Yes, you might have more responsibilities, but you still have the right to be happy. And if you’re happy, you’re kids are more likely to be too!

YOU ARE INDESTRUCTIBLE

“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever “(1Peter 1:23 ). Jesus said in Luke 8:11 that the Word of God is seed, which means you were born of God’s incorruptible seed when you were born again. The Word seed is translate from the Greek word “Sperma”. That is where the English word “Sperm” came from. So the opening Scripture should actually read: “being born again not of corruptible sperm but of incorruptible, by the sperm of God which liveth and abideth forever”. Understand that when you are b orn again, you are born of God’s sperm – His word. This is what makes you indestructible. The Life in you is sickness, disease and death resistant. You have the life of God, and that makes you supernatural. The same life that makes God who he is, now flows I your spirit, soul and body. Your life is no longer dependant of blood that flows through your physical body. The blood of man is the life of the f

DON'T QUACK LIKE DUCKS, SOAR LIKE AN EAGLE

I received this story this morning, it came in so timely and thought I should share ... Enjoy Good article. DUCKS QUACK WHILE EAGLES SOAR   I was waiting in line for a ride at the airport,when a cab pulled up; the first thing I noticed was that the taxi was polished to a bright shine, smartly dressed in a white shirt, black tie and freshly pressed black slacks.  The cab driver jumped out and rounded the car to open the back passenger door for me. He handed me a laminated card and said: I'm Wasiu, your driver.  While I'm loading your bags in the trunk I'd like u to read my mission statement.' Taken aback, I read the card; It said: Wasiu's Mission Statement:   " To get my customers to their destination in the quickest, safest and cheapest way possible in a friendly environment" .   This blew me away. Especially when I noticed that the inside of the cab matched the outside. Spotlessly clean!  As he slid behind the wheel, Wasiu said: '
