Relaunch Your Love Life When I was contemplating with serious trepidation re-entering the dating scene a few months after my twins were born, I fretted that I didn't think I'd remember how to date. And a friend of mine said, "Oh come on, dating is like riding a bike. You never forget how".
He was only partially right. While it's true some of the basics of dating remained the same in the few years I was off the market, a whole bunch of things had changed. Instead of hopping back on the bike, after I became a single parent, I felt more like I was trying to ride a unicycle. Through an obstacle course. Blindfolded.
I quickly learned that to relaunch my love life successfully, I was going to have to do a lot more than just playing it by ear, as I had done in my previous, non-parental life. Unfortunately, I had to find out the hard way that dating as a single parent is a whole new ballgame. The good news is, you can learn from my mistakes as you seek to relaunch your love life. Here are my top five tips for hitting one out of the park now that you're ready for your turn at bat. |
