is online dating appropriate for single parents?

It is appropriate as long as you dont introduce your children to the man/woman straight away! As with traditional dating you need to know the person first and be sure they are the right person for you before your children get invovled. Somebody can stael youor identity from the things you put in your bin so internet isnt going to make much difference just make sure you dont hand out any details such as credit card numbers. If the site requires this then ensure it is a reputable site. Lastly always ensure if you are meeting someone that somebody knows where you are going to be, you meet in a crowded public place and you have a mobile phone on you. If things dont go well then try to phone out or send a text.
