AN OPEN LETTER TO SINGLE MEN DATING SINGLE MOMS

This is what single moms have to do in order to date.

Hi!

Single mom here.

Here’s a snapshot of my life.

I have primary custody of my minor child, which means he’s with me full-time. All the time.

I don’t have childcare. I *am* the childcare.

I also work. I own a business.

This is a lot for one person/parent.

I date, too!

I make time for it. Somehow. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I love connecting, hearing new stories, and having fun with new people.

BUT, here’s the thing.

I have to really plan my time away from home because ->see above<-.

I *wish* my schedule was more flexible and fluid, believe me.

But, instead, I gotta coordinate childcare, dinner for my fam, and all the other things when I carve out time for dating.

So, I kinda need to know a bit in advance what days and times work for both of us.

This has been an ongoing struggle in the four years I’ve been dating.

And I know this can be difficult for those with busy schedules, too.

I get it.

However, when plans change, it affects more people than myself.

And I do my best to make it work when changes come up. Because I want to date!

But, cancellations are hard. Ghosting is even worse.

Because, as I said, it affects more people than me.

And I know your life is busy. You’ve got shit going on and it can affect plans. I get it.

But, at the same time, I’m asking for some mindfulness for us single moms.

And I’m asking that in the most compassionate way.

Your awareness of what is happening for us behind the scenes would be so incredibly kind and loving.

Even at the most general human level.

We could sure use your advocacy and support. ❤️

love & peace,

amy dawn
