Dating Sites for Single Parents

Dating Sites for Single Parents

I’m a big fan of online dating for single parents, mostly because it allows us to meet new people with the intention of dating whenever and wherever it is convenient. Kids are off at school? Check your inbox to see who has winked at you. The little one having a nap? Log into MSN and have a quick chat. Want to make plans for a weekend date? Then call the sitter and get your clothes ready, because Saturday afternoon is prime time to meet someone.

There are a number of niche dating sites cropping up to cater to the single parent market - either single parents themselves, or people who want to/are willing to date single parents. The only problem with these specialty sites is that they don’t have the sheer numbers needed to provide users with a large enough sample size to meet. There may be a few, and if they are worth it, I’m sure I’ll find them.

In the meantime, I’ll blog about the dating sites for single parents that I’ve used myself and have found success with. My criteria?

  • - Inexpensive or free, because it’s not like us single parents have a lot of money to throw into online dating sites.
  • - Large user base from which to choose.
  • - Basic safety measures in place to ensure privacy and integrity.
  • - If the site is fun, unique or interesting, even better.

So stay tuned as I review the best dating sites for single parents over the upcoming weeks. Make sure to either bookmark this page or subscribe to the RSS feeds to ensure you don’t miss a single one. I’ll make a point of citing links to each one here too, as I post them.

    I have found it to be more empowering to find a site that is more specific to my gender than anything else. Single Sisterhood, a free sign-up site, is a site that truly answers my questions about how to find the love of my life, share funny and frustrating stories, and feel connected with other women going through the same thing.
