Imagine you’re a single parent, dating someone you’re sure is the love of your life. But just when things are about to become perfect – your soul-mate breaks up with you.
Know the feeling? I certainly do. No, this isn’t a pity party. I’m thinking back years ago to my first girlfriend, post-divorce. I was reminded [...]
I recently attended a broadcast performance of the opera Turandot. When I blogged about the evening, a married mom asked: And you don’t have the ladies lined up at the door? What’s up with that?
I had to laugh. As a single dad dating, I hear lines like that from married women all the time. I [...]

I’ve been on some bad blind dates in my day – women who fudged their age by 10 years, trimmed their weight by 50 pounds, turned out wanting a sexy arrangement (yeah, that kind of sexy arrangement.) But none prepared me for one I endured at Starbucks this past weekend. Trust me, I’ve never downed [...]
For privacy reasons, I tend not to blog about relationships I’m actively involved in. As such, Dad’s House readers get a skewed view of my single parent dating life. I blog about hookups gone awry, lovers texting goodbye, funny sexy stories, and date-stacking flakes who bail before the first date.
