BE REAL

When you’re free to be yourself, the right people take notice. Let’s take a stand for genuineness.

SCAMMING
Be human. Do not use DatingWithChildren.com to spam people, solicit money or business, or defraud people. Do not create accounts that impersonate another person or entity.

MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS
Please do not create multiple accounts on DatingWithChildren.com unless our Customer Support Service staff has granted permission. Inclusive of this, do not attempt to use an account that isn’t yours.

BE REAL ON YOUR DATINGWITHCHILDREN.COM PROFILE
All of the information in your profile should be truthful and about you only. Never attempt to mask characters, content, or game the system to get around our content rules.

PROFILE IMAGES
All your profile images should be focused on you, with your face visible. We may remove images if your face is not clear or overly obscured. We review profiles daily, and a common theme is that our members want to see your face without a hat on your head or sunglasses on your face.

Some exceptions are:

  • Sunglasses and hats are allowed as long as your entire face is visible in the image
  • Pets are acceptable as long as your face is visible in the image

Group shots:

  • Images that contain multiple people are confusing to other members as they cannot tell who you are. For that reason, we may remove them. Equally, it is advisable that you focus the attention on you and NOT your friend, family, or others in your upload photos.

Filters:

  • We ask all members to represent themselves truthfully through clear unedited images. For this reason, images that are heavily edited or use filters (e.g., Snapchat) will be removed

Memes, Cartoons, and Text:

  • Memes certainly have a time and a place, but it’s not here. Images that contain overlaid text or watermarks are not allowed either and will be removed. Again, it would help to focus on yourself and not a poem, graphic art, or cartoon.


BE REAL IN THE MESSAGES YOU SEND

Be mindful in your first messages to someone. In real life, you wouldn’t introduce yourself with your phone number, email address, Instagram handle, Snapchat or Facebook, or any other social media page or profile, so don’t do that here either.

DatingWithChildren.com is not the place to promote external links in your messages or on your profile. The same goes for solicitation or commercial promotion of any kind.

BE PROTECTED

This is very important in the dating arena regardless of meeting a person on DatingWithChildren.com or in the grocery store. Be Protected at all times in public while on dating. During the communication process, set the stage and tone of the date; well-lighted location, public place, have an exit plan if the date does fill right, or make that first date location a local coffee shop during the daytime. Being protected is not just physical safety. It extends to emotional and safe sex safety. 

Transportation:  On your first or ten dates, have your transportation to and from the date. It is best to play it safe and drive yourself to the date. If you need to opt-out of the date early, you can do so without feeling trapped on the date.
Safety Back-up Plan:  Another helpful tip is always to tell a friend or family member where you’re going and to whom you are going out with on a date; name, photo, e-mail, car, and any other identifiers.  Additionally, have a friend ready to pick you up just in case, or a taxi on speed-dial.

Additional Tool To Support A Safe Dating Experience: The Noonlight app has a built-in panic button to hit in case of emergencies.  A neat feature of this APP is that you can add friends to your Safety Network to request a check-in. If you don’t respond, the app will help your friend(s) trace your steps and send police if you’re in danger.

BE TRUTHFUL

Being TRUTHFUL in your communication is very important in dating communication; I know this to be true! I have been on many dating websites and got “Catfished” many times. If you start not being truthful, you can’t move forward in dating someone. Move past insecurity and ask the tough questions during the first conversation but keep it lighthearted in nature.  After the dating has started, don’t go long in wondering how the person you’re dating feels about you; ask! Didn’t fear the appears of being insecure, needy, or pushy because the opposite, you will not know the truth about how your dating is going and you risk not knowing how to course, correct?

BE FEARLESS – WIN FRIENDS – TALK

Why can’t we be more relaxed and free-spirit when talking to date interests? What are we afraid of? What danger do we seek to protect ourselves from seeking out someone to date? From my research conversations, we have found that most singles give entirely too much weight or meaning to the outcome of each dating interaction.  When people take risks and show up real, they get lighter, brighter, more radiant, and magnetically attractive. 

BE DATINGWITHCHILDREN.COM

DatingWithChildren.com online is simple if you already know what you are looking for in a relationship and select the right person to date. Many sexy and desirable singles on DatingWithChildren.com are looking for meaningful relationships, so be proactive when contacting a member. If you know your “deal-breakers” and “must-have,” then don’t communicate with those that do not fall within your purpose. It is just that simple. If you wish to increase the likelihood of meeting the right person, consider seeking out one of our Dating Experts and purchase one of our eBooks to help you create an appealing profile that complements your personality.  However, the most important part of finding the right person is self-care, self-esteem, and self-worth improvement work.

BE CAREFUL WHILE DATING WITH HAVING CHILDREN

The most important thing to dating with children is their security and meeting the right person to add to your circle, relationship, life, and family. Dating as a single parent doesn’t have to be challenging, but it needs to be navigated with some finest. DatingWithChildren.com was designed and built to help single parents date with success.  When dating with children, keep chatting about children to a very minimum. However, we know that children are a package deal with most single mothers and fathers.

There are an estimated 13.6 million single parents in the US. The majority are single mothers, with single fathers constituting 16% of single-parent families. There are two conclusions we can draw from that statistic:

  1. There are many people raising children on their own, women and men.
  2. The majority of them are women, with men making up a smaller proportion.

In 2020 it was estimated that single mothers lead around 10.9% of all American households, meaning that there are millions of single moms across America in the dating pool of people seeking a better solution in the dating environment. If you date women, then dating single moms and dads is a very real possibility, especially if you date women or men in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, or 50’s. Therefore, DatingWithChildren.com is a valuable solution for women and men seeking love.

We all love our children, however, on the first few dates, try and keep kid chat to a minimum and out of the dating environment.  We recommend you truly get to know the person you are dating before bringing your child or children into that relationship. It is important to build a relationship with that person to make sure they are a fit for your family. Dating with children and starting a new relationship can be challenging, but it should take time to get to a comfort level for you and your kids.  The open policy should not be extended to meeting your kids. Your kids are learning from your habits, and it does stop at cleaning their rooms; they are watching your dating habits as well. Consider waiting six months to a year of dating before introducing your new boyfriend or girlfriend to your child or children. Your kids may not be ready to meet a new “father or mother figure.” Therefore, when your dating relationship begins to become serious an introduction of your boyfriend or girlfriend can be gradually increased over time.  So, take your time!
