Tonight my daughters pre-school is having their Christmas party for the kids and parents. Would this be a good time to try and hit on some of the young hot single moms that have their kids go there too?
I am a 26 year old single dad, so I would not be cheating if you were thinking that. But I have seen some of the moms that drop their kids off, and some of them are really cute!
What do you all think?
Ok, by "hit on them" I do not mean walking up and saying "If I could change the alphabet I would put U and I together"!
I do mean startigng up a conversation and seeing if they would like to get coffee or something. This question was really more of would this be a good time and place type thing.
And I will NOT be ignoring my daughter for this, she is my little 3 foot nothing world! She will always be the #1 girl in my life, but after being a single dad for about a year now I feel that at least a date wouldn't hurt.

Well as a single mom myself, I think it would be flattering to have you do this. I guess it is all in how it is done. I know many single parents like myself don't get a chance to meet other available people out there.
And yes, my son is my world too. Atleast if you do end up with another single parent, you both will share in the fact that your children will always come first.
Good luck!

I don't think it would be bad as long as you come off like you said you will in your question. If you strike up a conversation and find that you're really hitting it off, ask to maybe meet for coffee. Just make sure you don't pay more attention to her than your daughter, not for what your daughter will think (she's so young), but the mom might find that a turn-off. Good luck tonight!!

It wouldn't hurt to ask some of the other single Moms out, that's how my sister in-law and her second husband met. I think though that doing that when you're supposed to be there for your daughter, would be bad timing. Theres definitely a time and place for that kind of thing. You could try talking to someone when you pick your daughter up after school one day. But the Christmas Pageant thing is a time for the kids to entertain their parents, not for parents to hook up. Having said that though, it wouldn't hurt to talk to a parent to compliment their child on their performance or the funny little dance move they may do, that way you have a chance to "screen" people and decide who you would like to take out when the time is better to ask.

You should definitely take advantage of the situation. Why not? Starting a conversation with a hot mom is a great idea to start a relationship. You are young and many ladies think is very sexy when a man takes responsibility with there children. I think its a big plus you going to you're daughters Christmas party. The hot mos will see the kind of carrying guy you are.

being a single parent is hard and sometimes very lonely. its hard to meet people. I see nothing wrong with strikeing up a conversation with anouther single parent at a school function. That is how i met my boyfriend. I arranged play dates for our kids.that way we got to spend alot of time together getting to know each other before anything romantic happened. Its the best thing i have ever done. It takes a strong GOOD person to be a single parent.

Sounds like you have your priorities in order, and are capable of approaching women respectfully. You sound like quite a catch already. =)
Yes, this is the perfect time and place to introduce yourself to any single moms. Keep in mind that their primary interest in this event is parenting and not mingling, so don't assume that they will interpret your coffee invitation as a romantic-date (they might think you are asking for a friend-date to discuss parenting issues). But definitely get out there and introduce yourself, make friends (don't ignore the married women, they may have single friends!), flirt a little, and good luck!

Not all, as long as your little girl is number 1 in your life. There is nothing wrong with going up to some of them and starting up a conversation. Remember you don't have to ask someone out, but do remember to enjoy yourself with your daughters at the party.

As for conversation, I dont see why not. But making it obvious that you are looking for a date would not be a good idea. There is a time and a place for that, and it probably isnt at a kids Christmas party.

Sure it sounds like a good idea to me. Like you said you won't be neglecting your daughter. The only thing I would suggest is only ask out one person tonight. Chances are the single moms probably talk and I'm sure it could end badly if you ask out more then one of them. Good Luck :)

I think its cute and quite endearing and we need to think of out of the box ways to meet each other. All rules are out of the door...its a different ball game.
Go for it, as long as its done in a classy, non-weirdo way, I think they would like that. I am sure single moms are having just as tough a time meeting guys.
Good Luck and Merry Christmas!!!
PS...Don't bring any mistletoe!! ;)
