Dating tips for single moms
If you are a single mom and you're considering getting back into dating, here's a nice article that may help you get started.
The topic of single parents dating has been around long before online dating hit the scene almost a decade ago. It's always the same issue - when to tell your date or potential partner about your children. Some chose to do so right at the very beginning of communication (thus "scaring off" a large number of opportunities), while other keep having children a secret well into their relationship with someone they met. Both approaches have their advantages and disadvantages, but as with most things in life, somewhere in the middle lies the answer. The article mentioned above advises single moms to wait until the first date or two, to see if they are interested in pursuing the relationship further, before they bring their partner in on the situation. This helps both people adapt to the new situation.
A friend is seeing a single mom ( and yes, they met online… naturally 
). She told him about her child after a couple of dates, and introduced him to her son after about a month of dating. He likes her very much, she likes him, and her boy and my friend have established a connection - what more can you ask for starters. Things are looking good thus far, but the important thing is she seems to have found the proper time to tell him and get him introduced to the whole situation, without rushing into things. This produced a positive effect, obviously. The important thing to mention, however, and the previously mentioned article also goes into this, is to establish your personal relationship with the new someone for yourself first, and then start working on promoting your partner to "daddy" status.
