A single dad won’t shy away from having important conversations (“Are we truly ready to move in together?” “Do you want more kids?”) or small ones (“What dinosaur shirt are we wearing today: T-Rex or T-Rex rocking a tie?”) They listen, they talk and they solve problems on a daily basis.
“As the only parent, we have developed super sensitive listening skills,” says Joe Seldner, a journalist and single dad of two. “In a dating world where many women have been in relationships where being listened to was a rare event, listening skills come in handy.”
Fellow single dad Tomashoff agrees: “We spend so much time talking about such weighty topics as why Donald Duck doesn’t wear pants and why the number five is afraid of the number six (spoiler alert: because seven ate nine), we are so ready to have brilliant adult conversations.”
