11 Dating Tips For Single Parent

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!

Top 10 Best Night Club in Nigeria

Nightclubs (or Disco as known in most European countries) is an entertainment event center and bar that usually operates late into the night. A nightclub is generally distinguished from regular bars, pubs or taverns by the inclusion of a stage for live music, one or more dance floor areas and a DJ booth, where a DJ plays recorded music and also the closing hours. The upmarket nature of nightclubs can be seen in the inclusion of VIP areas in some nightclubs, for celebrities and their guests. Nightclubs are much more likely to use bouncers to screen prospective clubgoers for entry. Some nightclub bouncers do not admit people with ripped jeans or other informal clothing or gang apparel as part of a dress code. The busiest nights for a nightclub are Friday and Saturday night. Most clubs or club nights cater to certain music genres, such as house music or hip hop. Below are the list of the luxurious and most expensive Night Clubs in Nigeria 10. Signatures – Akure The c...

Man Cries Out as He is Sentenced to Jail for fetching Rain Water

Gary Harrington of Eagle Point, has been sentenced to 30 days in jail and to pay a fine of $1,500, all because he had three reservoirs on his own property, that he used to collect and use rainwater. Harrington says he plans to appeal the conviction in the Jackson County Circuit Court. That conviction revolved around nine misdemeanor charges that come from a 1925 law. That archaic ordinance bans what state water managers called “illegal reservoirs.” “The government is bullying,” Harrington said in an CNS News, last Thursday. “They’ve just gotten to be big bullies and if you just lay over and die and give up, that just makes them bigger bullies. So, we as Americans, we need to stand on our constitutional rights, on our rights as citizens and hang tough. This is a good country, we’ll prevail,” he added. It all started back in 2002, when Harrington was attacked for having three “reservoirs” (ponds) on his large 170 acres of land. But the state claims that collecting water requi...

Devotion - FORGING FORWARD

“And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? Speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward” - Exodus 14:15 It is unfortunate that many youths do not see the need or have the zeal to move forward in life. Rather, they find a comfort zone at the bottom of the ladder of life. A story was told of a young man from a very rich home, who completed primary school but chose to waste away his life with vagabond lifestyle, despite his parents’ wish to sponsor him up to university level. All his mates, including those who were not as bright as he was, made it in their academic pursuits. He ended up an outcast, and by the time he came back to his senses and returned to persuade his parents to send him to school, alcohol had damaged his brain. It is not God’s desire that you remain static in your plans but that you make steady progress. God does not expect you to remain the same way over the years without moving forward. Striv...
