It is rough for the single parents as well. I know from my experience that it is just plain rough dating or finding someone worth my time to date. There is the awkwardness of it all. I know that for me that I am not looking for someone to be my childs dad when I am dating. There are soo many different levels that I want to get to know him to see if he is someone that I want to get to know before I even take it to the next level. Of course the entire time of the date or dating both parties are thinking could this person be someone that I would like my child to meet, and the opposite side is thinking am I ready to take something like that on if it ever comes to that?

I cannot stand any of it lol but it is the boat I am in and will be. I do know that no one meets my daughter until I know this is the person that I will marry. That way no one gets hurt and no one looses a relationship that they were more or less forced into.
