Literally just watched this episode of Black Mirror last night. Lol. This discussion reminded me of it.
Lol! You're in your mid-20's. Ain't no reason to fret. I'm a middle-aged single dad 😅. Ladies avoid me like I'm a new strain of COVID 😭. #SingleParenting
😂 I dunno, I have a worried feeling.
Ah man 🫂 oh hang on a minute, have you tried dating single mums? 🤔
What?! Why?! 😅🤷♂️ Are you using dating apps? Because they're designed to make you worried.
I actually started dating a single mum very recently. We just had our second date this past Saturday. It's actually my first time dating another single parent. Honestly, it's a very pleasant feeling.
Nah I haven’t checked my app in ages. I just see things changing and where I thought I had time it seems to be slipping away.
This is amazing! 🫂
If it makes ya feel any better, my daughter was born right before my 33rd birthday and a few months after her mum's 30th. So... you still have time.
Also, yes it is amazing. Not as mentally demanding as dating young, single women who have completely unrealistic standards and who only care about money.
Thanks Ben 🫂
Bloody hell 🤣😂 not all young single women are like that - being one myself I like to think I’m an expert in this department. But I’m sorry you had those experiences 🙏🏽
Generational wealth... 🤷♂️ LOL! Plenty of downsides come with havin' it! 😅 Like creating a tendency to attract very shallow women.
Probably don’t tell them this 🙈😂
If you want someone to like you for you, don’t tell them what you have, show them who you are 🫂
Lol! 😅 They don't seem all too interested in that alot of the time. And I can tell that they're just acting 🎬 much of the time when they do seem "interested". But, I also have really bad history when it comes to dating. I ain't goin' into that 😅😏! Sorry! To be frank, I just have bad taste in women... 🤷♂️ There's a reason why I'm a SINGLE dad.
Ahh it’s alright, we all have an interesting dating portfolio 🤣🫂🙏🏽
Do ya mind if I ask you a personal question?
Go for it, but I might answer like a politician - I’m a little private with certain things, surprising I know 😂🫂
Something that years of introspection and dating exhaustion has forced me to realize, and something everyone should ask themselves, in my opinion, given the huge changes in the dating realm 😅:
Do you want to have your standard traditional family, only a child, or both? Figuring out the answer to this can take alotta pressure off people when dating.
Lol. As ironic as it may sound, being a single parent made me realize that I only want a child. Dating a single mum is rather pleasant in this regard because we both want the same thing. We're both financially stable, but most of our time needs to be spent caring for our own little lass! So, we both date just for companionship, really. 🤷♂️ LOL. No pressure.
I only really want three things out of this life - purpose, family and peace 🫂 I’ve always known what I wanted from a young age 🙏🏽
