Dating tips for single moms

I know I write alot about me, but then i am the one who writes this and i i am always changing.  So here we go again. I am bellah  tho if you are reading this moat likely you already know this. A bit about me, i am a single mother who lives with her parents. And before  you go off thinking i am a lazy person let me just let  you know that i am a mom. A full time mom. That means every waking moment. For those of you who roll over in the morning to hit that snooze button for the 3rd time. I get woken up any where from 3 to 4 times a night and in order to get some sleep it means heating a bottle or even rocking a baby in my arms for a while. Not that i am complaining in fact i love being a mom more than anything in the world.  So besides being a mom i have been learning that being a mom does not mean i can not be more than that. For some reason after having my baby i got it stuck in my mind that a mom is all i could and would ever be, that because i am a mom now i lost all that young, life loving sparkle. The thing is thats not true. I did not instantly become 10 or 20 years olded i am still in my mid twenties and that " single" part about being a single mom means that i still have that excitement of being able to date and find my match. Yes i admit dating is alot different wben you have a lil one at home that can decide that he does not want Grammy he wants Mama. So dates can be cut short or cancled all together. But as long as hou find a guy that is chill with the idea of a night out on the town being turned into a night watching Whinney the Pooh. Then sure dTing can be easy. But thats not always the case so here is some tips i have for those moms out there returning to the dating scene.
1. Dont be afraid to remind them that you are a mom. If you are like me and still in your midtwenties then many times they will get carried away with 
Hanging out late into the hours. Also alot of guys my age like to be spontaneous in their plans. As a mom that does make things alittle tougher. Just let them know right out.
2. Alone time is allowed! Lol i find my self feeling bad leaving my lil one in anothers care as i go off to spend it doing any thing! But its good for you!
And spending it on a date is even better. Relax and enjoy being pampered! How lovely it is to have doors opened for you for a change other that opening not only your door  but pulling a baby in and out of another as they fight you with their seat belt.
3. Much like two. Enjoy it. Let them treat you. Let them pamper you. How often do us moms get to just sit back and let some one else handle the night?
4. Dont waist your time. If you just cant see it going any where call it off. Saves you some time and them some time. And as a single mom we all know that time is presious!
