Somebody who shares your experiences (13/12/2011)
Dating for the first time as a single parent does have the potential to be an extremely scary and unsettling time. But it needn't be if you give some thought beforehand to limit your exposure to unwanted situations and experiences.

Juggling family, dating and Christmas (05/12/2011)
December is definitely a busy time regardless of whether you have children, so throw in some children into the mix and a hectic run up to Christmas may leave you wondering if you'll have time for meeting potential partners during this time. It can be a stressful period of the year but if you allow that to affect your romantic encounters then they'll end up not-so-romantic encounters!

What to tell your children when you start dating (08/09/2011)
Honesty is the best policy, they say, but should you protect your children by not disclosing what you're doing when you start dating. As you well know, children can be the smartest of detectives when they want to be, so it may not be possible to retain the secret for long anyway. Still, you will probably not find "the one" with the very first person you go on a date with, so the chances are that you will be seeing a few people before finding someone you want to consider a partner.

When should you tell your children about a new partner? (07/06/2011)
I have been asked many times before my thoughts on when it's the right time to tell your children that you're in a new relationship. The thing to bear in mind is that there are no hard and fast rules that should be followed, it very much depends on a number of factors, so these are only guidelines.

Lone Parents - A solo journey (11/05/2011)
Another website that I've visited recently is www.Lone-Parents.org.uk and although not as polished and smart as others such as Gingerbread, it does contain valuable information and provides an avenue for meeting other single parents too.

February is the month of love, and loneliness (02/02/2011)
So you've approached the new year with a spring in your step, changed the frown to a smile but your still single - February can be a tough month if that's the case. The shops and restaurants around are all pushing Valentines day to increase their sales and it can be a bit much to try and avoid all the hype.

Changing the clocks, perhaps a change of fortune? (01/11/2010)
The clocks going back in Autumn always makes me feel more insular and have a desire to curl up on the sofa at home staying warm and watching DVD's and TV. It's hard to motivate myself to get out and feel alive, with dating taking a back seat.
