Thanks To Online Dating, Single Parents Can Narrow Down Potential Matches While Still At Home With The Kids!
Online Dating for Single Parents is something internet dating was invented for! While dating in the real world can be quite a challenge when you are a single parent, with online dating you can avoid all the bad experiences and dud dates, by narrowing down your potential matches to just those with real potential.
Of course, once you have whittled away the chaff, depending on the age of your children, you may need to organise a childminder, and of course you may need to be home at a certain time, your kids might not take kindly to you going on dates, and your kids probably don’t want you bringing new and ‘strange’ dates back to the home. Plus, your home may be small and things can get tricky.
So, how do you navigate online dating when you have children?
As in all cases, we think honesty is important. Of course each situation is different, but rather than avoiding telling your children anything, talk to them and keep communication chann

How to create the perfect online dating site profile to attract and find your perfect match
It might appear to be a tiresome or boring formality, but an online dating profile is important. It sets the tone for how potential romantic matches see you and perceive you. By the way, there is no right or wrong profile pic for Internet Dating.
If you are a woman and your profile picture is in a skimpy bikini, you are going to be perceived as possibly flirtatious and sexy and probably get a corresponding response. If you are a woman wearing a business suit, sitting behind a desk, you are going to be perceived as serious and corporate, perhaps a bit more formal. If you are a guy and you are not wearing a shirt, you are giving out a certain message. If you are a man in front of a private jet, you are also giving out a certain message!
If you want to do the bikini thing, go for it. That may well be the image you want to put out there, and that is fine. Young people do totally different profile pics to older people. We would suggest though that you put a profile pic on

Rejection Sucks – Tips for What to Do When You Get Rejected
So, you finally gathered up your courage, and… got rejected? Right, first thing you need to do is refocus your thinking. You want to retrain your brain.
When I used to sell real estate, I would make a hundred calls a day, most of those were no’s… it was a numbers game.
So I’d either call a hundred, or till I got to a yes. So there was a lot of rejection and I used to think, okay, every no was closer to yes. You got to really think that way too about rejection, I mean you’re not looking forward to it but if you get rejected really early on, especially early on, you want to thank that person for only wasting this little of my time so that I can move on to really finding my right partner.
The other thing too is that as you’re dating, or getting rejected, you’ll be finding out things that you like and don’t like about people, and perhaps if some of these people are honest with you about why they were not interested, if it’s
something that is changeable, you have the

How to Improve Your Chances of Being Successful With Online Dating
Research-based suggestions to identify the best prospects in the crowd. For those considering online dating, here are five simple tips to follow in order to maximise your chances of procuring a successful match.
“Successful” here means meeting someone with whom you can have a sustained and meaningful relationship. The suggestions are drawn from a paper by Finkel et al (2012):
Limit your Potential Choices
We should limit ourselves to a relatively small and manageable number of profiles within a certain timeframe. In the light of the above evidence, choosing from a smaller set of potential dates should aid our decision-making process, allowing us to select on criteria more likely to predict our satisfaction with someone once we meet them face-to-face.
Here are TEN ways on how to catch out a catfish online
Catfishing is a type of deceptive activity where a person creates a sock puppet social networking presence, or fake identity on a social network account, for attention seeking, bullying or as a romance scam.
A “catfish” is someone pretending to be someone they are not on the internet. A catfish usually targets a victim or has someone they are pretending for. Usually people intend catfishing as a romance scam on dating websites or seeking online relationships.
People use fake profile pictures, names, and often genders. Catfishers create fake profiles to trick people into thinking they are someone else. Usually, the fabricated life displayed is the one they wish was their own, making it easy to act as if it is really them.
So you think you are at a dead end with your online dating? Here are tips on how to keep Online Dating interesting
A few months back, I was starting to get bored with my online dating profile. The steady stream of nearly identical conversations was slowly but surely wearing out my desire to meet anyone new.
Maybe ever. At one point, I was talking to three graduate students whose names started with T, and I couldn’t even begin to tell the difference between them.
So I decided to clear out my inbox by arranging a three-day dating marathon with T1, T2, and T3 as I affectionately called them in my mind. It actually worked out nicely. I could finally stop breezing through flirtatious conversations and figure out which guy stood out from the crowd. His name was Tom.
If you’re feeling like you’re getting into an online dating rut or find the whole experience kind of lame, you’ve come to the right place.
How To Protect Yourself In The Modern Dating Age of Online Dating
Is our culture becoming more narcissistic? Research indicates that a higher number of younger people are meeting the clinical criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder and that we are now living in what might be called “the age of entitlement” (Twenge and Campbell, 2009).
While there are multiple factors that contribute to the rise of narcissism in our society, access to numerous methods of connecting with others in the digital age undoubtedly exacerbates the need to be seen as “special and unique.” Accompanying this need is a blatant dehumanization of others in the search for attention, popularity and admiration.
While malignant narcissists can be found anywhere and everywhere and there are certainly decent people on dating websites, the online world of dating provides predators with a platform where they can gain access to multiple victims without accountability.
