“Dating as a single parent is tricky. My kids are usually seen less as ...” — Stephanie Land Quote

Dating as a single parent is tricky. My kids are usually seen less as a 'bonus' and more as a 'situation.'

I have had PTSD since I was in a car accident when I was 16.

Single parents do not have the luxury of purchasing an abundance of healthy foods for their kids to try. I know this. As a single mom, I've been there.

I grew up exploring my neighborhood and beyond, and would love to give my daughter that kind of freedom.

In the world of Tinder and Bumble, where people keep up the appearance that they are low-key, lacking in any drama and partaking in an Instagram-worthy activity during every free moment between trips overseas, admitting you work from home and have small children orbiting you full-time feels like a drag.

After you're dating someone for a few weeks, you often don't become exclusive until you give yourself more time to know what a relationship could be like in the future. You can't get too excited too quickly.

Anybody I'm dating, I don't want them to talk about my music. I don't talk about my music to them.

I don't like going out on a date unless I know the broad a little bit beforehand. By the way, 'broad' to me is not a detrimental term for women; it's simply another word for female. Anyway, I don't really go out a whole lot, because there aren't many girls I like to take out and spend a whole evening with - at least not an evening in public.

Everybody's got baggage, and not just the classic, 'Oh I have so much baggage,' but everyone comes with so much context, and you're not just dating a person: you're dating all their context, too. Part of relationships is negotiating each other's context.
