| Single moms, more so than anyone, have to be exceedingly careful about the type of man they select as lif long partners. No sensible woman wants to be judged soley on her appearence or sex appeal, right? Moreoever, who would even want a man mostly interested in sex without a real commitment, right again? These questions create an ag old conundrum. Exactly, how does one find a guy who loves them and only wants what is best for them? Let's take it up a notch. How do you resist those natural impulses to throw caution to the wind and break down and have sex? For starters... Read between the lines. A wise person once said, Words carry a little weight, but actions truly reveal the entireity of a matter. When you meet a new guy, be especially observant of the kinds of things he talks about. Carefully listen to his conversation. Remember, you can usually learn plenty about a person simply by listening to them. If the conversation is laced with sexual innuendos, that is your "red flag." Where's the fire... Be leery of physical contact early in the relationship. Someone who is overly "touchy" after knowing you for a short amount of time might have less than honorable motives. Yes, some guys are "touchy feely" with women. But think for a moment, if you marry a man who can't keep his hands to himself, you are asking for trouble! Let get real, here. As single moms, it's only natural to enjoy the attention of men, but don't allow loneliness or insecurity to propel you into a relationship that may bring pain later. You are far too precious for that, single mom. Take your time with the physical stuff. Approach the dating relationship the same way you would with a platonic friend. Save the kissing or hugging until you really know the guy. We often give away far too much too soon in our interpersonal encounters. Don't be the type woman that every guy in the neighborhood knows what it's like to kiss and squeeze. Even if he says he loves you, remember that love waits. Love is patient, love is kind and real love will never disrespect you. Slow down, enjoy the progression of the new relationship. There's no fire, so hold your horses! My mother recently told me, (relative to my health) "a good mother takes supreme care of herself for the sake of her children." I think the same applies to emotional health. Don't run the risk of giving your body and soul away only to be left with an empty bed and broken heart. It really isn't worth it, single mom!
