Sam West, a “relationship expert” whose own marriage to a single mother ironically failed, says, “Single mothers make the best wives. They are mature, responsible, and very experienced.”<\/p>\n

Here are seven tips to keep in mind when dating a single mother:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The child comes first.<\/strong>\u00a0You cannot date the mother without also being involved in the child’s life.<\/li>\n
  2. Build trust with her.<\/strong>\u00a0Trust is earned, so be careful what you say and do.<\/li>\n
  3. Don’t give unsolicited parenting advice.<\/strong>\u00a0Unless she asks for your advice, don’t tell her how to discipline her child. This is especially true if you’ve just started dating.<\/li>\n
  4. Be ready for commitment.<\/strong>\u00a0Single mothers are not interested in playing games. They know what they want.<\/li>\n
  5. Don’t rush things.<\/strong>\u00a0Even though she may seem open to it, take your time and make sure you’re both on the same page. If you rush things, one of you may feel pressured to stay in a relationship that’s not right for you.<\/li>\n
  6. The baby daddy will be in the picture.<\/strong>\u00a0If the child’s father is involved in co-parenting, be prepared for him to be a part of your life. Be patient and understanding, and allow the child to have a relationship with their father.<\/li>\n
  7. Don’t assume you’re coming to rescue her.<\/strong>\u00a0Just because she’s a single mother doesn’t mean she’s weak. Let her be herself and don’t try to control her.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
