I just finished reading the first several chapters of Lori Gottlieb’s book – Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough. I followed that up with some browsing in the single mom blogosphere.

I knew women went about choosing men in a different way than men choose women. But to [...]
I just spent two hours browing through the free dating site OKCupid.com. Was it a waste of time? I don’t know just yet. The OKCupid jury is still out for me.

I had to laugh. As a single dad dating, I hear lines like that from married women all the time. I [...]
