What advice would you give to someone who's going to be going out on a date with a single mother?

Show interest in the child. Ask the child age appropriate questions. And try to include her as best you can. Just don't get to attached if it is a short term thing.good luck.

My mom is a single mother of 5 girls and 2 boys and shes dating a nice man the way to get to the mother is through the daughter when you go and pick the up (if you are) bring them some thing a flower for mom and a doll or some thing for the girl. take them to a place were the girl could have fun and its nice for both of you and try to play and make conversations with the girl so the mom would know that you are trying !!!

good luck i wish you the best !!! :)

Well firstly, if it's your first date, I can't see why she would want to bring her daughter. Maybe she needs to, in which case, just be understanding. A four year old will inevitably take away from your time together, but make the most of it. Engage her in conversation (the child that is) and find out what she likes to do, how she has fun, etc. Essentially, you're on a date with both of them which is very cute ;)

Let it be relaxed and fun. Parents want relaxing, kids want fun, so you win both ways! Good luck!

I have been a single mum for eight years but have now met my Mr Right so i can advise you with this.

You will be fine. It is important for her that you are ok with her bringing her child. Dont worry about whether or not the kid will like you, just be yourself. if you act too keen and pay too much attention to the child, it will take advantage!! Remember, she will be able to control her child and that leaves you free to talk to her as well as the kid.

In fact, a date with your kid can be a good way to break the ice and have a "nasty silence" free date! Kids are funny and will make you both laugh.

She will be aware that it is putting you under some added pressure and she will be all the more grateful to you and impressed that you take them both out.

Good luck and i hope it all works out for you, oh, and that his name isnt damian! (just kidding lol)

I'm a single mom of 5 year old girls and would never introduce them to a man until I knew there was a chance of a serious lasting relationship. I'd be careful if I were you!

I would never do the introduction in a "date-like" fashion...more "play-date" at the park, so the kids have a fun escape and no pressure...

i have a three year old and its easy my boyfriend met my daughter and she was shy at first but he started playing with her if you go out to dinner bring a pen kids love to doodle on napkinsit will keep them busy while you two talk

Honey just be your self, im sure they will like you.

And if not then oh well there is plenty other women out their, who would appriciate them.

Good luck and just be your self.

Treat it like any other date. Be nice to the kid though, treat her like you would a niece.

just dont get too mixed up with the baby mamma drama! you kno. and dont get too attached to the kid, your not their parent!!! just remember that! she is not you!!!
