I’m sure I’m not the only one out there that finds dating as a full-time single mum incredibly difficult. Forget about finding the confidence to get back out on the field, how about just finding the time to arrange a meet or greet? Well, I think I’ve come up with some solutions that might be appealing to you. With these ideas, you should be able to be the perfect mum and still find love.
Speed Dating
Yes, speed dating does still exist although it’s certainly not for the faint of heart. If you’ve never tried speed dating, it works like this. You’ll be in a room filled with lots of other single people. You’ll start off sitting opposite someone and spend about five minutes talking to them. You won’t get names usually, instead you’ll have numbers. After the five minutes is up, you’ll switch to another person. It’s up to you how many times you want to do this. It can last anything from a few minutes to a few hours. You might find your perfect match with the first person that sits opposite you. At the end of the evening, you can tell the people who arranged the speed dating night who you’d like to give your number to. They’ll pass it on, and after that, you wait for the phone to ring. Why is it not for the faint of heart? Well, you might not get any calls, and this can be a serious confidence killer.
Love Online

Online dating is perhaps the easiest way to save time and date at the same time. If you use any of the popular websites, you’ll be able to find dating near you. So, accidentally ending up in a long distance relationship shouldn’t be too much of a problem. You’ll also be able to quickly narrow down the possibilities to include only those who could have serious potential. You need to be very careful about what site you use for dating. Tinder for instance while quick and easy is filled with people who aren’t looking to date, if you know what I mean. Online dating gets a bad rep because people assume these sites are filled with liars. While it’s common knowledge that people do exaggerate on their profiles the con men and cheating scoundrels are rarer than you’d think.

You might have someone in your life who thinks of themselves as quite the matchmaker. One of the most time-consuming parts of dating is actually finding someone who you’re interested in. By using a self-proclaiming matchmaker, you can cut the search out completely. You just need to make sure that you can trust the person matching you with eligible bachelors. Otherwise, you might end up on a dinner date with someone that you never would have said yes to in a million years.
Let Guys Know You’re Available

Finally, you do want to make sure that guys know that you are open for business. They can’t ask you out on a date if they don’t know you’re single. So, how do you let a guy know you’re single? Well, if you’re divorced taking the wedding ring off would be an excellent start. Of course, the classic way to let guys know you’re single is to tell them yourself but in a low-key way: “Ah, this is why I’m single I’m so bad at small talk.”
I hope this helps you fit dating into what I’m sure is a busy schedule as a full-time mum.
