[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I need to know if any of the folks on this thread are single parents with full custody.

I am, and I think folks are being WAY too cautious. If OP could see themselves enjoying the company of the other mom, and if the other mom is not attached,[b] why not go for a date?[/b]

Here is a complete list of places where I - a single parent with a full time job - meet new people. Work. My kids' schools. Church.

All of those are a "bad idea" for one reason or another, but I actually think my kids' schools are the best of the three.

The main reason not to go for a date in this instance is that in the eventuality that things end badly or even just awkwardly, it will be difficult to make a clean break. OP will see this mom at pickup for at least the rest of the year. Birthday parties will happen - will OP's kid be invited or not? will OP's kid want to invite the other kid?

I am remarried now, but I was a divorced mom will 70% custody. I never used my kid's school as a potential dating pool. As an adult, there are a number of places I could look for dates that were unconnected to my children. [/quote]
