Ok ladies so you have been talking and texting with Mr perfect for a whole 3 weeks. He’s said all the right things now, he has you totally open and completely interested in going on the official 1st date. You’re beyond excited!
You agonized over the outfit, went to get your hair and nails done decided to throw caution to the wind by doing your feet too. You have even taken the time to find a super sexy bra and pantie set. Made your way to the perfume counter investigating the most alluring scent you can afford. He isn’t gonna know what hit him tonight.
You have all your conversation points in your head. You even took the time to practice laughing and smiling in the mirror so nothing is left to chance. You know he’s the one so nothing is going to mess this up for you!
But, ask yourself these questions.
1. Have you left contact information for your children?
2. Did you prepare a meal and leave activities for them?
3. Can they reach you if there’s an emergency?
4. Is there a qualified adult in charge?
5. Do you have a friend who knows where your going and the full name of said date?
Once you can answer yes to all these questions you are ready for the evening. Wink at yourself in the mirror on your way out the door and give it everything you got! Remember it’s date 1 your goal is to expand to date number 2 and so on.
Here are some tips to consider if you had a nice time and intend to follow this date up with another.
1. Date shouldn’t last longer than 4-6 hours it he enjoys your company that much he should be willing to ask for next date with you.
2. You have children at home and they are most likely gonna want to see your face before they go to bed.
3. You have to give yourself time to still be a mom to them in the morning and be ready for your regular schedule.
4. Dating isn’t a get out of parenting card that you get to pull on your kids. They are still expecting you to show up and show out just like before you decided to start dating.
5. If you don’t have enough time to manage kids and a dating life then perhaps you really shouldn’t be dating until you can figure that out.
Any man who knows you have children and keeps you away from them for more than four to sex hours on a first date is suspect. If he can’t respect that your a parent and your first responsibility is letting them know that your coming back safe he probably isn’t worth another date. Always remember you want quality over quantity every time.
