This is more of a dating thing than a relationship thing as the title suggests, but relationship advice is also welcome.
So, my life took a slightly unexpected twist last night. Was at a house party hosted by a friend from my latest uni course, with some of my other friends there and also some new faces (as tends to happen with these things
). Long story short, I got chatting to a girl there, we got on very well and there was clearly something there. The slight curveball is that she's a single parent and the kid's about to start primary school.
Now, admittedly at my age I'm more likely to encounter single parents in all contexts, but this is a new situation for me. It hasn't put me off, but I'm very aware that this is a very different set of circumstances to what I'm used to with dating so it's making me a little more...not cautious as such, but thinking about what I do more. So I thought I'd throw it open to the floor and see if anyone has any useful tips, be it from the perspective of someone who's dated a single parent or a single parent who's dating. Not sure how many responses it'll get but I figure it's worth a try!
So yeah...fire away.
