Letting someone, whom a single parent barely knows, into the house is the number mistake among dating single parents. If you meet someone during speed dating or blind dates, don't give away any
personal particulars because you don't know the person very well. It's better also to start off as friends to know the person more intimately. It will also establish good relationship between the new partner and your kids. Never force your children to like the person you're dating because it's not going to work well for you. Lastly, the most important thing that you should rememeber is to be honest with your children. Talk to them openly about your date and assure them that nothing's going to change. In this way, you can have a healthy love life and family life.
