Single dads, listen up! This Summer could be your Summer to find that one woman of your dreams…unlike the first one. What do I mean?

Dating.com did a survey and found that women are looking for single dads to date and possibly marry! Sixty-percent of single women said they’re open to dating single dads! The reasoning is that single dads are more likely to be stable, mature, and less likely to “play games.”

The survey also found that 75 percent of single people say that a “match” with a kid would have hardly any impact, if any at all, on their interest in dating them.

The one thing they did find is that everyone wanted the single parent to be up-front about having a kid on their first date!

So are you a single dad and looking to start dating again? Well guess what? You may have more women interested in you, than you think!

We have more on this story and more in today’s edition of a Few Things You Should Know!

A Tinder Dating Dictionary to Help Older People Talk To Younger People

The basics of dating haven’t really changed – but the language has.

Gen Z’ers say they speak a very different language than their parents when it comes to dating. In the past, you might just ask “Would you like to meet up for coffee?” Ttoday it’s more likely that you’re “sliding into DMs.”

Tinder has now launched a “Dating Dictionary” to help older people understand and date younger people. Now I’m not sure we want to encourage older people hitting on more young people, but dating is dating I suppose. And there truly is someone for everyone.

The truth is, typically people are dating within their own generation. The dictionary will just make it easier to have dating conversations across different generations.

Many of the terms included were identified in the Tinder Year In Swipe 2022 report published in December. It’s younger singles who are coining the new phrases and terms to loosely define their relationship status, then they go viral on social, and BOOM – another new dating term!

A popular phrase highlighted by Tinder recently – that someone over the age of 25 may never have heard before, is “cushioning.” This means keeping several backup relationships to soften the blow if your main one doesn’t really last,

“Situationship” is another addition to Tinder vernacular. This is the sticky in-between status when someone is more than a hook-up, but they are not quite a couple.

So here they are – some terms you might want to know if you’re on Tinder. Yes – times have changes.

A word of advice: If you’re over 40 and actually try to use any of these terms, you’ll probably just seem ick (a turn-off) to anyone under 25.
