How to win their hearts and be as supportive as possible
If you're thinking about dating a single mom, you might be wondering how it'll be different from dating a woman without children. In many ways, dating a single mom is like dating anyone else, and as long as you treat her with care and respect, you'll be golden. But at the same time, there are a few things you should keep in mind if you want to be a great partner to a solo parent.
W e asked eight single mothers how potential partners could win their hearts and be as supportive as possible. Here's what they told us everyone should know about dating a single mom. 
The number one thing many single moms want potential partners to know is that the kids come first. While a romantic partner can play an integral role in a single mom's life, there shouldn't be any competition between you and her children. And if you're dating a single mom and find yourself growing jealous or competitive, examine the root of your feelings, and consider ending the relationship if that jealousy feels toxic. 
" My kids and I are a team," says entrepreneur Monicha Wimbley . "And since I'm the general manager of the team, I look out for all the team members. Although you will not meet them right away, my children are my priority. They don't rule the roost, but their feelings carry weight. Their health and well-being are the most important thing."
Single mothers are often juggling busy schedules, managing everything from parenting and household management to work and sometimes school. That might mean they aren't able to be as spontaneous as you'd like. And if that's the case, be patient.
" Please be understanding when I cancel a date at short notice," says Nashima Harvey , executive director of The Little Green House Educational Services . " Sometimes my child may get sick or may have an issue that requires me to stay home, such as a sitter cancellation. Flexibility and understanding then become extremely important. Ingenuity does as well. Maybe we can improvise at home and bring the fun to us."
Sneaking around the kids for a secret rendezvous doesn't have to be something you dread. In fact, it can be kind of fun, says Katie Tomaszewski , director of Drynamics, a sober-curious support group. "Sometimes dating can feel like high-school dating," she says. "You've gotta kinda sneak it in at times." Embrace a bit of risqué romance and go with the flow!
Don't feel pressured to jump in immediately as a father figure or a second parent, says Keyona Grant of the blog Professional Momma . "I 'm not looking for you to be a father to my kid, I'm looking for a life partner for me," she says. "That being said, you still have to love her too and want what is best for her." ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb
Instead of trying to become a stepparent too quickly, focusing on developing an organic relationship with your partner and her kids. Moreover, don't pressure her to have you meet her kids before she's ready. Relationship-building is a natural process and there's no set timeline for when you should or shouldn't meet a romantic partner's children.
Your partner likely spends much of her time identifying as a parent. So when it comes to romance, it's nice to be seen as more than a mom. " We are more than mothers," says Grant. "It's nice to take our children into consideration, but also try to appeal to the women we are too."
Do that by planning romantic dates , praising her for her work accomplishments and other traits that aren't related to motherhood, and talking about subjects other than parenting.
Many single moms want to know upfront what you're looking for in a relationship. That doesn't mean you should feel pressured to make a commitment before you're ready, but be straightforward about what you want. Is it a long-term girlfriend? A hookup? Marriage? Whatever the case, most single mothers would rather know from the start.
" Know what your end game is before dating someone with children," says Grant. "Do you want to get married, are you casually dating, or are your just looking for friendship?" she says. "Be upfront, because our time is valuable, and we don't need to waste it."
While developing a relationship with your partner's kids will take time, you should show that you care about her children. Be open to having picnics or other outings with the kids and don't always expect an abundance of one-on-one time with their mom. When your partner talks about her children, ask questions and practice active listening.
Single moms are often juggling a lot of things both professionally and personally. A supportive shoulder to lean on and a listening ear are always appreciated."M y dream is to date someone who is naturally nurturing," says Nikki Bruno of Catalyst Coaching . "I spend so much time and energy caring for my kids and ensuring their emotional, mental, and physical health that I could use some extra loving care, too."
While emotional support is valuable, getting involved in any drama—especially with an ex or co-parent—is not. If there's any interpersonal conflict in your partner's life, such as with her children's father, try to stay out of it and not get too emotionally involved yourself. 
In most cases, simply being an attentive listener who can handle a bit of venting is key, says Shawn Zanotti , founder and CEO of Exact Publicity . " At times I may want to vent, and [sometimes] it will be about my child," she says. "As a partner, be engaged, be intrigued, listen, respond, and [offer] advice."
The work schedule of a single parent can often be busy and hectic. Just as you wouldn't try to compete with kids, respect your partner's job or career, too. " Planning is needed," says Wimbley. "It's going to be quality over quantity. Between work, co-parenting schedules, and the kids' school and activities, I only have so much free time. Please be aware that planning for some time together might have to go on the schedule way in advance."
A foot massage, a home-cooked meal, or any other kind of pampering can mean the world to a single mom. Single parents are often used to doing it all on their own and simply having a partner by their side can mean a lot. " Juggling the role of single mom and career woman is tough and extremely exhausting," says Harvey, "especially when you have children under 10. Sometimes a simple back rub or foot massage and a home cooked meal may be a great pick-me-up to rejuvenate the spirit."
While your partner's needs and goals are incredibly important, so are yours. Don't allow yourself to grow resentful or avoid issues if a problem begins to develop. Instead of allowing a breakdown in communication to grow, be upfront so you can address any issues together.
Solo parents often have limited time for dates and other outings. So when you do have time together, make it count. Try to plan dates and make your time together special. Ask questions and have thoughtful conversations. " Remember that I don't just have 'free' time laying around as a single mom," says Harvey. "When I share my time with you one-on-one it's super valuable and rare, so treat it as such."
Think of your time together as an oasis from the stresses of the day. As much as you can, try to relax and rejuvenate together. Get a couples' massage if you can, or hire a babysitter and have a nice dinner out. You could even stay in for a night of cuddling, suggests Sanaa Brooks , editor-in-chief of A Mom That Sleeps . " I'm always tired, so sometimes I don't want to get ready for a date after working crazy hours all week," she says. "[Sometimes it's great to] just order in."
Respecting boundaries around time with your partner's children, or your involvement in their lives, is key to building a successful relationship with a single mother. Remember, a mother has to protect her children's emotional wellness as well as her own and is therefore careful about who she lets into her kids' lives.
"I've done so much on my own, so what are you bringing to the table?" says speaker and success coach Joyce Rojas . " Single moms are very independent and can accomplish so much in very little time, on their own. It's a skill we had to learn. So in the dating world, we tend to look for someone that can enhance our lives. We don't want drama, competition, or dead weight."
Single mothers are often juggling stressful work schedules and have to make time for dating in between their many other responsibilities. That means it might not be the best idea to get romantically involved with a single parent if you don't have your own priorities in order.
Many single parents have heartbreak in their past, whether that's from a divorce , a break-up, or the death of a beloved spouse. Understand that this might affect your relationship to an extent, and it might take time to build trust.
" A single mom has likely gone through heartbreak of some kind, and so have her children," says Rojas. "It's not an easy task to just move forward without emotional scars still lingering. We're not only afraid of getting hurt, but we're afraid of hurting our children all over again. "
Listen to your partner if they want to talk about it, but try to move forward toward the future with an open mind. Everyone has a history, and your potential partner probably wants to get excited about the possibility of a future with you rather than dwelling on her past.
Some of your dates might be spent with kids, or might be during the day because late nights on the town aren't always possible for single moms. Embrace the nostalgia and simple fun of old-fashioned courting: Walks in the park, carnivals, or dinners at home can be charming and delightful if you're game.
Even if your role in your partner's children's life is small, it can leave a lasting impact. Try not to jump too much into the kids' lives if you're not sure about the future of your relationship, and in the early stages of dating a single mom, take your partner's lead on how to interact with the kids and what your relationship with them will be. 
Assuming that a single mother 'needs' you or wants something particular out of a relationship isn't helping to build a partnership based on trust and honesty. Instead of making assumptions, have respectful conversations and keep an open line of communication to find out if your short- and long-term desires align.

In summary, there are more single-parented headed households today than any other time in recent history. The majority of those families are headed by a single mom. In fact, 64% of millennial moms have a child outside of marriage, according to Johns Hopkins researchers .
The reasons for these quickly changing statistics include high — but declining — divorce rates, but more significantly, a drop in marriage rates overall among young people in the United States, and an overall acceptance for having children outside of a “traditional” heterosexual, first marriage.
There are 1.2 million divorces in the United States each year.
Traditional nuclear families with two married heterosexual parents are now the minority of U.S. The rise of single motherhood is the largest influence on this trend — followed by multigenerational families, blended families , adoptive and foster families, and famililes headed by same-sex parents. 
A full 46% millennials and 44% GenXers say “marriage is becoming obsolete.” 
This post has recent stats on single-parent headed homes and their children, but also sheds light on the nuance of the surge in single parenthood and marriage, as well as equal co-parenting.
There were 15.6 million single mother-headed households in the United States in 2019. This is 3x the number in 1960. In addition:
Per Johns Hopkins University researchers paper, “Changing Fertility Regimes and the Transition to Adulthood: Evidence from a Recent Cohort:”
More educated millennials are having babies outside of marriage. Of millennial moms who have babies outside of marriage, 67% have some college education, and 32% have four or more years of higher education.
While the 2.1 million single mothers in college in 2012 is double that of 2000, according to an Institute for Women’s Policy report , the graduation rate of women who entered college as a mom is just 28% for single moms, compared with 40% percent of married moms, and 57% of female students who were not parents.
There is a stark division between single millennial moms who have college degrees and those who do not:
Throughout history, marriage and parenthood have been linked milestones on the journey to adulthood.
But for the young adults of the Millennial Generation, these social institutions are becoming delinked and differently valued.
Today’s 18- to 29-year-olds value parenthood far more than marriage.
Today, there are far more older mothers overall, including more older single moms.
By comparison, there has been a 70% drop in teen births — from 62% of girls aged 15-19 in 1991, to 19% in 2017, the most recent data provided by the Department of Health and Human Services .
While the rate of babies born to single mothers has declined slightly, there is a notable rise in babies born to single moms by choice – women who tend to be older, more educated, and with higher income.
Single mother numbers in the United States have always been higher among African American women. At the hands of slavery, black women’s consensual relationships and marriages bore no legal rights, and black women had no legal rights to the children they bore at the hands of rape of their white slave owners.
“Once largely limited to poor women and minorities, motherhood without marriage has settled deeply into middle America.
The fastest growth in the last two decades has occurred among white women in their 20s who have some college education but no four-year degree. Among mothers of all ages, a majority — 59 percent in 2009 — are married when they have children.
But the surge of births outside marriage among younger women — nearly two-thirds of children in the United States are born to mothers under 30 — is both a symbol of the transforming family and a hint of coming generational change.”
“Single parent households exist in a different socioeconomic pool than married households.
Single mothers earn incomes that place them well below married mothers in the income ladder.
According to Pew, married mothers earned a median family income of $80,000 in 2011, almost four times more than families led by a single mom.
This is likely a consequence of the lower educational qualifications of single mothers, as well as the fact that they are younger and more likely to be black or Hispanic. Married mothers tend to be older and are disproportionately white and college-educated.”
Of millennial moms who have babies outside of marriage, 67% have some college education, and 32% have four or more years of higher education.
What percent of single mothers live in poverty?
A Pew Research Center analysis found the poverty rate by household head was:
Cohabiting parents are younger, less educated and less likely to have ever been married than solo parents. At the same time, solo parents have fewer children on average than cohabiting parents and are far more likely to be living with one of their own parents (23% vs. 4%) …
Solo moms are more than twice as likely to be black as cohabiting moms (30% vs. 12%), and roughly four times as likely as married moms (7% of whom are black). Four-in-ten solo mothers are white, compared with 58% of cohabiting moms and 61% of married moms.
There are virtually no racial and ethnic differences in the profiles of solo and cohabiting fathers.
Mothers overall suffer a pay gap of 29%, earning an average of 71 cents for every $1 earned by a dad — or an average of $16,000 less per year, according to the National Women’s Law Center. 
This motherhood penalty is dramatically worse for single mothers at 35%. According to Pew Research, single moms with a household of three earn just $26,000 per year on average, compared with $40,000 per year for single dads.
I conducted a survey of 2,279 single moms and found a direct correlation between time-sharing between single parents, and single moms’ include. The 2021 white paper outlining the findings of the Single Mom Income and Time-Sharing Survey are here:
I also founded Moms For Shared Parenting , an organization devoted to advancing parenting policy and culture.
A December, 2019 Pew Research Center study of 130 countries and territories finds the United States has the world’s highest rate of children living in single-parent households, at 23%. By comparison:
But, how many of those fathers choose not to see their kids more, and how many of them are forced out their kids’ lives completely, or marginalized to a weekend dad?
The answer to this question is complicated and hotly debated. A sexist culture and family court system that marginalizes fathers is a real force, as is parental alienation, mass incarceration of African American men are all real forces.
Single moms are growing in number, in part, because women have more financial opportunities, and can more comfortably afford to have children without the full-time financial support of the children’s father. At the same time, the rise in single motherhood has severely lessened the stigma of being an unmarried mom, a fact that has been attributed to the drop in abortion rates in recent decades.
The rise and general acceptance of single motherhood across all demographics (young, African American and Hispanic moms make up the majority of this trend, but older, more affluent single-moms-by-choice is the fastest-growing segment of the single-mom population), is part of a larger trend of redefining what family and healthy family means. It was a few years ago that headlines announced that the married, heterosexual parent household with children is now the statistical minority in the United States. Today, about a quarter of married couples who live with children under age 18 are in these Leave it to Beaver families where only the father works — down 47 percent in 1970.
While gay, multi-generational, blended and adoptive families are on the rise, single-mom-led households made up the bulk of that new majority of “non-traditional” families (enter eye-rolling of many, including this writer!). Paired with news that young adults increasingly find marriage an obsolete institution, this made sense. However, this new acceptance of family does not preclude romantic partnerships, as most Millennial moms are in committed romantic partnerships, even if they are not legally married.
