Dear Ask SingleDad,

Friends No Benefits,

I have been
dating a Divorced Dad now for the past year. However, over the past couple of
months, we are dating less frequently which is confusing. I have been
babysitting his 3-year-old daughter when he needs help with day care, but I am
confused with his inconsistency of affection for me. I have difficulties
understanding what he wants because he shows no signs of wanting to get back
together, but when we go out, he acts like he’s totally into me. Should I stay
friends
, or let this Divorced Dad go?

Signed,

Friends No
Benefits

Dear Friends
No Benefits,

I can
understand your dilemma. One Moment you feel like you are this guys only lady
and the next moment you are his daughter’s only trusted childcare. What do you
do? I got an idea… Don’t mix business with pleasure. You can never find a happy
medium between two adults under the premise of “Friends with Benefits”. There
is a saying, “Once you open your legs, you open your heart”…

I don’t mean
to be so abrupt with my solution, however, your heart is open and the only
thing you need to do right now is to stop seeing this man or draw the line on
your relationship. Committed Relationship or Day Care Provider; you can’t have
both.

At least his
answer will let you know where you both stand…

Divorced Dad Internet Date

Dear Ask SingleDad,

When I went
out with a Single Mom I met online, I discovered on our first date that she was
20 pounds larger and 10 years older looking than what she posted on her
profile. Needless to say, the date was awkward and I kept my cool and ended the
evening early, (and badly). She followed up with me by asking if it was her
weight that was a deal breaker. What should I respond?

BadProfile

Dear BadProfile,

My
experience in Internet dating has taught me how to handle this exact situation.
You say nothing. Got it? A man does not need to whisper a single vowel of
response to a question about a woman’s age or weight. You can never win with a
response. The best advice I can give you is to tell her that you are still in
the process of dating online and that you are not looking for anything serious
right now. Another proper response is to tell her that you don’t know why you
didn’t click, but make sure NEVER to mention Age or Weight… Keep searching my
friend.
