Woman’s “Date My Friend” Experience Turns Terrifying After Guy Confesses Parenting Faux Pas

30

Dating as a single parent in your 30s can be rough. People are looking for love, but not everyone is ready for that love to include a third tiny person. Things can seem bleak if you’re a single parent, and 63% of parents actually think they’ll never find love again.

That doesn’t mean they don’t try, yet some do it more successfully than others. One dad left a woman flabbergasted at a “Date My Friend” event when he confessed something unhinged about his parenting. His attempt at flirting ended up looking like a glaring red flag, making the woman wonder what possesses men to go willy-nilly admitting these sorts of things.

    Hi there, fellow pandas! As a person (over)educated in both social studies and literature, I'm most interested in how we connect and behave online. (and sometimes in real life too) The human experience is weird, so I try my best to put its peculiarities in writing. As a person who grew up chronically online, I now try to marry two sides of myself: the one who knows too much about MySpace, and the one who can't settle and needs to see every corner of the world.

    Again, what's with the poll? Way to totally miss the point. The poll question should be: how do you feel about deadbeat parents who dont parent thier own kids.
