After hearing about this list of '50 Reasons to Date Me' in
a Craigslist Man for Woman ad, I felt inspired to make one of my own.
How to Date a Single Mother:
1)
Don’t imply anything her child does is lame.
2)
Never expect her to meet you for the first time
anywhere but in a public place, undermining her awareness to stay safe is a
jerk move.
3)
Treat her like the normal woman, not one who
should be lucky a man ‘in this day and age’ would want to date a woman with a
child anyway.
4)
Don’t take it as an insult when she insists on
the first date being in a public place. That’s another jerk move.
5)
Wanting any woman to meet you in a non-public
place for the first time is creepy (OK, moving on from this point now).
6)
Never say you want to meet her children if you
are not sure. Make sure this is at least after a few months of dating.
7)
Don’t try to date anyone if you don’t even have
enough money to buy your own cup of coffee.
8)
Don’t break up with her to date a woman who
lives upstairs.
9)
Always be honest. Seriously, you can avoid many
problems this way.
10) As
in all things in life: be kind, have manners and treat her as you wish to be
treated.
