Is his cab light on?

A friend of mine has fallen.
Totally and completely. Off the deep end. In love. And the man… he’s falling too. They’re both young. Their lives are together. Everything is ripe for - BIG BREATHLESS PAUSE - marriage. (Yes, I said that scary “M” word) One huge reason for this - both of their cab lights [...]

Dating Karma

Dating as a single mom is hard to describe to anyone other than my fellow single parents. Hence this blog and my slew of single mom and dad friends. Without them and without you, I’d be lost.
So here’s another dating tip from me to you … I think if you start practicing this immediately [...]

How to date the childless.

The first question most single parents ask when they finally get back out there is, “Can I even date someone without a kid?”
The challenges to dating someone without a child can be daunting. Will they ever understand your life? And when they do - will they run away screaming in fear once they realize that [...]

Boys vs. Men

There are men, and then there are boys…
This weekend two boys (who shall remain unnamed) where sitting in my kitchen. I was hosting a mini after hours thing. So, I popped a pizza in the oven.
“I’m running outside, keep an eye on the pizza, okay?”
“What? What are we supposed to look for?” one of them [...]

For the men, this is the perfect addition to my series on How to Date a Single Mom. And for the [...]

Dear Single Men:

I would like to introduce you to a phone.
That thing with numbers. You push them. Then you talk to the person on the other end, and if it’s a girl you’re asking out for the very first time you make the call at a reasonable hour - ask her questions about herself, yada, yada [...]

Thou Shalt Always…

let the woman choose the first spot for a blind date.
Sorry, David (a.k.a. Dad’s House, the adorable single daddy blogger) I can’t resist using you as an example of what not to do when arranging a blind date with a woman you met online. Believe me, I’ve made worse dating mistakes, but your case is [...]

Prince Charming can kiss my ass

Once upon a time, I was in love with my son’s father.
At the beginning, he would make me breakfast every morning. He would hold me tight and whisper sweet nothings into my ear. We couldn’t get enough of each other. The sexy french accent didn’t help either. And when he told me it was “Magic” [...]

House hunting and man hunting?

No deal on the house and Kris and I broke up. What a lovely start to the week!

I’m actually a bit relieved because after my mom came to see it she was screaming - “no, not a two bedroom and just wait, watch, it’s going to get worse (the housing market).”
She was right. [...]
