I just know there are a lot of women out here who are trying to re enter the dating arena. And if you are anything like me, you are unsure of what the rules are these days. You may have been involved in a long term relationship, i.e.: marriage, partnership, Took a break from LIFE, etc.) and now you find yourself trying to RE define yourself. And if you are past the 35 year mark you may feel a little out of depth. It may seem that a lot of men in your age category are looking for the younger firmer set. ( Not dissing you physically fit sisters either, I'm rather proud of my physical body myself and I'm still working.) You wonder who and what is out there for you. Some of you may have the confidence of the champions and you are in the mode of "They won't know what hit'em" But, we all are out here looking, or desiring that certain some one just for you. This isn't going to be easy and there will be Frogs. And we must mention the men who seem to want to relive their "glory days" when they felt like "Big Daddy" and all the women paused. A little arrested development going on there. ( they can be really funny if you have a sense of humor) that is just a few of the "types" I have come across so far.
It can get hard and confusing most especially as a single parent. You must be careful of the people in your life as a rule any way. But if you are dating the are some rules you really should consider.
- Do not be so quick to introduce people to your children. It can become confusing for them, most certainly when they are young,
- Remember there are men and women who are predators. some actually date single parents because they have children.
- Beware of anyone who seems overly interested in them. Some people can be a little too friendly.
- And remember allowing your children to become attached to someone you don't plan on having a long term relationships with can be painful fore them as well and can lead to abandonment issues.
I am a single Mom and those are some of the rules I try to use in this adventure I am undertaking. And so far it has been a Heck of a Ride I tell ya! Boy do I have some Stories! LOL! so stay tuned. Mizz Polly Prissypants wants to SHARE!!!!
