DATING ETIQUETTE FOR THE SINGLE MOM

Dating etiquette for the single mom.
A few rules and norms to adhere to in the dating game
1) Appearance: Don't be sexy. Leave that for the

21 year old who doesn't have "baggage". Its probably the "sexiness" that got you knocked up outside marriage. You want to show other qualities like stability and home making skills. But don't be too stuffy in a boxy suit, your competition has boobs, legs, heck the whole thing out on display. And let's face it men are visual beings. Eye Roll*

2) Attitude: Please  don't request respect overtly or covertly. You should be looking to "earn" it given your "status". Pocket all that strong woman thing who knows her worth. You, instead are docile ready to serve him as your king. He is afterall out on a date with you in spite of the teeming fresh fishes in the vast ocean.

3) Conversation: this 1 is a mine field. Don't sound intelligent. It intimidates men. Don't talk about the ex. Anyway you present the case even if he died, you look suspect; desperate to garner sympathy. No simpering or baby talk, it's supposed to make you seem delicate and soft, it just makes you look confused. Don't talk about your job. If you're successful it's a green alert for loan requests, if not, its a red alert that you need them to cater to you!

4) Intimacy : what do you presume to be hoarding when you balk on getting intimate? They need to be sure that it's still in good working condition after being to the labour room and back! So....give it up! Not eagerly. You have your "status" to remember. No need reinforcing the idea of that's how you got there in the first place. Not grudgingly either. Remember they are doing "you" a favor. You've got to give them something to make them "choose" you above and in spite of others.

PHEW!!! A whole load of hogwash that some of my sisters unfortunately follow! Well here's my REAL take on it!

DATING ETIQUETTE FOR SINGLE MOM'S:
BE THE BEST OF YOU!!!! You should TRY to be YOUR best EVERYDAY AND EVERYWHERE. Not someone else' s idea of what YOU should be. You've really got no business trying to manipulate a situation. Don't you fear God?! What will be, will be.

And if you're not sure what/who YOU are? Then you have NO BUSINESS DATING!!! take the time to learn about you. It's a journey that's more rewarding when gone solo.

Don't pander to society, it's as fickle as a chickens attention span.

You're worth it, so Be Golden
