"Hi, I'm Donna Barnes, life and relationship coach here in New York city, and the author of It's All About You. How to date a single dad is really important because I think, if you've dated people who haven't had kids before. Then you're used to being the center of their attention and you want to be the center of their attention. But if they have a kid, that needs to be the center of attention and their kid needs to come first. And you need to be o.k. with that. So you need to be flexible, you need to understand that when you're first dating this person. They're probably not going to introduce you to their kid right away. They need to trust you first and they need to know that you're going to be around for a while. And that it's going to be safe to introduce them, you know, their kid to you. And you need to respect that. It's really not about you at all, it's about them being a good parent. And that should be incredibly attractive to you, that they're a good parent. So be flexible, if he has to break a couple of dates because something came up with the kid, understand that. Try not to be selfish and take it personally and give him the space. And be grateful, that he's a good dad."
