Empty café tables on a quiet stone street, with flowers in the window.

Dating as a single parent

What belongs on a profile, when to mention children, and why the first meeting stays in public without them.
One coffee by a window, with an empty chair opposite.

Say the time you have, not the logistics of the school run. "I can meet for a coffee on a weekday evening" is enough. The ages, the names, and the rota do not belong on a profile that strangers can read. A woman who wants those details before she has met you is asking for too much.

One recent photo of you, with no children in the frame. Crop them out completely if they were in the original. Photos that get a reply is that crop. Writing a profile is the two sentences that replace an explanation.

The first meeting should fit the hour you actually have, in a public place, with your own way home. How long before you meet is there so nobody treats a short evening as a test you failed. You can pause the profile in a busy week and open it again.
