A former girlfriend and erstwhile lover (booty call partner, friend with benefits) called to say hello. A pleasant surprise, since we hadn’t hooked up in a while. Not to say we hadn’t tried. There’s nothing like trying to coordinate a single parent’s custody schedule with a that of a busy career woman.
We had been playing [...]
(If you’re one of those ‘mature’ single parents who has sworn off sex, you might just want to skip this post…)
A woman and I met online at Craigslist, then met in real life at a coffee house. From the beginning, the intent was clear: flirt while we got to know each other, then if we’re [...]
Who are you?
So read a text message I received from a woman I’d slept with a month before. Our first date at a coffee house had turned into booty in bed. Turns out she was a newly divorced woman and wanted rebound sex. As a single dad in between dating relationships, I’d been happy to [...]
Before we even met for coffee, 34 year-old SoCal Divorced Hottie let me know that she wasn’t ready for a serious relationship. She was merely dipping her toe in the dating pool, looking for something low key.
She was new to online dating and had exchanged emails with only a handful of men. Most of them [...]
Vacationing on California’s central coast has reminded me I’m at an awkward age when women and their mothers can both be hot. I’ll turn my head for a 40-something mom one minute, then check out a 20-something daughter the next. (I have no problem with older men dating younger women, at least if the man [...]
My kids left on vacation Friday with their mom, and I’ll be a lone wolf for three weeks. Full-time parents might cheer that break. But if you’re a single parent sharing custody, like me, chances are you’d rather have the kids around. Time spent with children is precious; they grow up quick.
Their mom and I [...]
As a single dad going it solo (half-time custody) for eight years now, I’ve learned to lead a fulfilling, satisfying life without a partner. But… if you’re a single parent like me and a lot of the bloggers I read, you’re probably missing out on intimacy, sex, adult love.
MsSingleMama recently asked the question, Who Needs [...]
