Single dads are a hot commodity these days, but they come as part of a package deal. As the youngest daughter of a single father, I’ve seen a handful of ladies try to seal the deal, for better and, sadly, for worse. Here are tips on how to swoon a single father…
Inquire About His Children
Get him to talk about his child and/or children – about the latest happenings in their lives, their friends, their interests and hobbies. If you’re texting while he’s out with his little one, ask him to send you some pics. The more interest you show, the more interest in you he’ll have. He needs to know that you’re not turned off by the fact that he has a child with another baby-mama. By inquiring about the latest and greatest in his child’s life, you’re showing him that you care about him and his dependent. A single parent is more likely to date you if they know you’ll get along with their child.

Be Accepting
Respect the father-child relationship. Children need time, too. It’s not a competition. You can never compare a parent’s love for a child to their love for you. The second you start seeing the child as a threat is the same moment you should do yourself a favour and walk away. There is nothing more off-putting to a single father than a woman who is so insecure with herself that she sees the child as a threat. Sure, he might spend time with his child and not have enough time for you, but if that offends you, and, furthermore, if you show him it offends you, you won’t stand the test of time.
Get Involved In The Family
If he’s inviting you to spend time with his fam, jump at the opportunity. Whether it’s family dinners, babysitting, or attending a celebration or birthday, make time in your schedule to fit these events in. It is the only path to a long-term relationship. By clearing your schedule to join him in his family happenings, you are showing him that you respect him and care to establish a relationship with those closest to him. If you put up a fuss, or challenge him as to why he has to go, you come up as selfish and not worth the investment.
