[quote=Anonymous]It just depends. Are you looking to get remarried? Do you have full or 50/50 custody? Does the other person have kids?

I'm a long time single mom and I don't make rules about dating. Just like all those things that people say they'll never do before they have kids, they might find themself doing after having kids; same thing for dating as a single mom.

I personally have never understood the 'don't introduce your kid(s) to your SO until you're engaged'. I like to see how my SO and my kid get along. I also introduce someone earlier than some people on this forum would recommend, but when my son was younger it was often just a quick hello while he picked me up for a date. Now that DS is a teen, he's the one that's not really around, plus no one would really be a father figure to him - he's pretty much raised and will be going to college soon.

Just know that a lot of people responding to this will never have been in the situation and will have strong opinions on the subject, and that in general DCUM is mean to single moms.

Good luck to you as you enter the dating scene! My only advice would just be to try to have fun meeting new people and don't get overly invested in finding a new life partner right away, or ever.[/quote]
