Navigating the world of online dating can be particularly challenging for single mothers. After a brief stint in the dating scene before motherhood, I returned to my old profile on an online dating platform recently. What I found was a version of myself that felt quite foreign yet intriguing—she was vibrant, playful, and had an undeniable spark. However, as I attempted to adapt that profile for my current life, I quickly realized it was futile; everything needed a thorough overhaul. Representing myself as a party-loving socialite would be misleading, and I didn’t want to risk a potential partner thinking they were dealing with a defective product. Thus, I decided it was time for a fresh start.
But how does a single mom effectively market her true self? The thought of crafting a dating profile felt daunting, especially as I grappled with understanding what I was seeking in a partner and what I had to offer. Then it struck me—what if I opted for complete honesty? After all, authentic dating profiles are as rare as hen’s teeth. Rather than showcasing only my polished side, I could embrace the unvarnished truth.
Here’s my candid self-summary:
I’m a breastfeeding, toy fixing, story reading mom of… oh, you actually want to know about me? Just me? Not my relationship with my pint-sized overlord? That’s a new one!
While I may feel older than my years by Sunday morning, I am still open to spontaneity—provided it fits around nap times. My body confidence may be inflated, but after witnessing its incredible capabilities through childbirth, I’ve learned to respect it immensely. And I expect the same from you.
So, what am I up to these days? I juggle two lives: one as a professional woman in ambitious attire who doesn’t tolerate nonsense, and the other as a devoted mom who often finds herself knee-deep in chaos. Occasionally, I catch a glimpse of a third life—one where I can sip cocktails and relish a night out after 6 PM!
What are my skills? I can tidy up my home in a mere 15 minutes—just don’t open any cupboards or wander into the bathroom. I’m also adept at reasoning with the absurd, counting backward (especially from 8 PM), and discreetly enjoying chocolate while multitasking. And yes, I can cleverly disguise carrots in meals.
As for what stands out about me? Most likely my back as I chase after my toddler. And believe me, my little one definitely inherited his big voice from me!
On a typical Friday night, you’ll find me debating whether to pour another glass of wine, chuckling at the notion of weekends offering a break, and looking forward to quality time with my toddler—while conveniently forgetting how they often derail our plans.
You should message me if you’re okay with being a low priority, don’t mind infrequent and interrupted intimacy, and have grown weary of a bustling social life.
The most private thing I’m willing to share? I’d much rather snack on popcorn while watching drama unfold on Facebook than engaging in cinematic plots. And if you expected something more seductive, I must admit that I lost my coyness during the whirlwind of pregnancy hormones.
After three weeks of this profile, I am still hopeful that someone will take an interest.
