It’s TRUE - Single Dads prefer online dating over conventional dating
A survey just released indicates that single dads will choose to post a profile on a dating site over any other forms of dating.
Conducted in May 2007 by True.com, the survey involved 5,600 single dads in the US and tried to get to the bottom of why so many single fathers are choosing online dating and what they’re looking for in a relationship.
Survey results showed that most single fathers agree that online dating is a safer and easier method for meeting other singles:
• 75 percent of respondents said that online dating is the easiest way for single parents to meet others
• 67 percent said that online dating is a safer way to date
• 67 percent regard TRUE’s policy of screening for criminals and married people as very important (vs. 26 percent for convenient, but not important)
The survey also revealed that saving time is considered the most
popular convenience of online dating:
• 37 percent said that online dating helped them balance time between work, dating and family
• More than half (53 percent) go out on traditional dates less than once a month
TRUE offers the following online dating advice for single dads:
• Consider what you are looking for: a friend, a date, a relationship or marriage.
• Have fun while dating online: meet new people. Take this opportunity to really discover what type of people you like.
• You don’t have to date another single parent to find someone who appreciates your kids.
• Talk to your kids when you begin to date and let them know that you’re seeing someone.
• Wait until a relationship is steady to introduce the kids—and don’t be surprised if it’s not a friendly meeting. Prepare your date ahead of time and talk to your children afterwards.
