Best dating app for single mums - and not so simple life situations lol
I’ve seen others say on here that it’s best to not say have a child/ single mum on a dating app. But I’m a solo parent / only parent and have two large dogs. It’s not exactly an easy life circumstance to hide.
I also don’t want to attract the type of guy that is and thinks I might be too. To be carefree to do anything or go anywhere so easily at drop of a hat or travel so easily like a single woman could be with no dependants / baggage.
I like a holiday. But with these dogs it takes organising as they can’t be left with just anyone. They also can’t be taken just anywhere like a little easier dog can.
This lifestyle with baby and the dogs and being so exhausted has made me more happy to be a homebody. So all I really want is a nice guy who likes to cook, to exercise with, likes the outdoors, isn’t really into drinking, festivals, lads holidays, and I can trust around my daughter and is good around my dogs. It’s a lot to find in one guy 🤣
But then I also don’t have the energy or desire for a guy that has more than one kid if you know what I mean. I dated an ex with two kids when I wasn’t a mum myself and it was fun but I’ve got enough on my plate with a kid and two huge dogs that aren’t like easy little dogs. It’s like having three kids as it is! Lol
Plus I can’t date a guy who has a dog as one my dogs with his tricky past is reactive to stranger dogs.
It’s like my dating criteria is so narrow and then I’ve got to then navigate around the weirdos who I read on here target mums with kids.
So where the hell do I start with this 😅🤷♀️🥴😂

My comment isn’t that useful as I have no suggestion on specific dating sites.
But just wanted to say you’re doing an amazing job looking after your babies (fur) included.
I say just be open minded and don’t hide anything. When the right person comes along they will accept what comes with you. Dating someone with multiple kids will be different now you are a mum, if anything they will have an idea and hopefully more understanding how full on being a parent is.
I put it on my profile, didn’t want to waste time on someone who wasn’t interested in single mums.
I wouldn’t put what you’re not looking for on your profile just don’t swipe the ones that won’t fit into your lifestyle and be prepared to get through a lot of people who don’t even read profiles or don’t match your lifestyle goals.
If you’re strict on blocking like they say one comment that you’re not too sure about and you just block them anyway I wouldn’t worry about not being able to spot the weirdos. They always say something off
that’s the thing, it’s tricky some guys just look at pictures and don’t read the bio. So I’ll try suss them out a lot by asking some light subject like what they like to do in their spare time. And kids themselves etc
Good advice thanks 🙂
