Single Moms Get Dinged for Dating Around. They Shouldn’t!

At that time, I decided not to date anyone until she turned one. When I tried to jump back into the dating pool, I ended up venting about my ex or accepting behavior from men I would otherwise not tolerate. I even dated a model previously signed with Ford Models, an elite agency, for a temporary self-esteem boost. Over time, I bounced back and raised my self-love levels. Here are a few lessons I learned and my dating tips for single moms. Although I gained a beautiful baby girl, I lost a part of myself along the way. I poured all of my energy into being the best mother I possibly could be, and with what was left, I squeezed out self-pity and bitterness towards my ex. I had to shift my mindset through meditation, prayer, journaling, and walking. I celebrated the positives and identified and addressed the negatives. I had to work hard and take responsibility for what I did wrong even if I thought it was a small percentage of the problem!

A revolving-door mentality allows you to find someone with emotional maturity. I have been through therapy and done endless self-reflection; unfortunately, much of the dating pool in my age group has not. Many potential partners have moved from marriage directly into new relationships without doing the work required to be a good partner. On dating apps, I unmatch immediately with anyone who is passive-aggressive or possessive.
