Summary
Happy Hump Day, Tribe. This week, Good Moms talk about what dating actually looks like when you’re a parent (the boundaries, the red flags, the late-night texts). The balance between protecting your peace and still wanting to feel something.
Erica and Milah share five dating tips for single parents, not from a rule book, but from lived experience. If you’re outside, cautiously outside, or just thinking about stepping back in… this one’s for you.
In this episode the ladies talk about:
- Why dating to be “saved” always backfires
- Learning how to be alone (and why it becomes fun when you make it a vibe)
- Being honest from the start and dating from a friendship-first foundation
- How to spot double standards, and red flags before you’re attached
- Why you should never blend families too fast or “play house” too soon
