It’s natural that when you come to the point of setting up your dating profile as a newly single parent, you might feel a little trepidation. But as a result, you might be putting people off your single parent dating profile without even knowing.
Worrying that “nobody will want to date me because I’m a single parent” is common, but I’m here to tell you that it’s an insecurity – not a fact.
When people are writing their dating bio’s but they’re letting that worry take over, there’s this thing that tends to happen, and I bet you’ve done it – or were about to do it, too.
When talking about your single parent status on your dating bio, you tend to pair it with a negative statement.
Here are some examples that I’ve literally seen in single parent dating profiles recently;
“I’m a single parent, so I don’t have time to play games.”
“I’ve got two kids, so I can’t be spontaneous”
“I have a 3 year old and an 8 year old, so they come first.”
While those three statements may be completely true and valid, the thing is, they shut people out. Remember, your dating profile is just a short first impression of you. It’s meant to be appealing and warm, so as to entice your future love to want to get to know you more!
Think about it, when you’re looking at dating profiles, who would you be more attracted to? Someone who sounds, positive, optimistic and open? Or a profile bio littered with negative words and closed off scenarios?
How to Improve Your Single Parent Dating Profile Instantly
Instead of a statement that tells your potential suitors how they won’t be able to fit into your life, say something positive that helps them to imagine themselves having a future with you.
And here’s the best part – you can still keep your kids in the forefront of the picture while you do this.
Some more positive examples of what to say;
“Need a 4th person for board games!”
“Wanted – someone with good bbq skills to get us through summer.”
“Just looking for that final puzzle piece of our family.”
These are great because they subtly put across that important message that family comes first for you, without any of the negativity. Anyone who responds to your profile now will already be the type of person who understands, accepts, and wants to be a part of your lifestyle.
It’s a simple little trick, but try it – it works.
