My situation is really what inspired me. There are three main difficulties or hurdles when it comes to dating as a single parent: 1.
If we want to go out, we need to plan way in advance, sort out childcare, and there are many logistical hurdles involved with going on a date or having fun on our own. Criteria: I would say that most single parents will have special criteria when it comes to choosing their next potential partner. Remember Playdate is for single parents looking for meaningful relationships, not a onenight stand or casual date, so that means that we may want specific characteristics in our next partner.
Single parents may be feeling fragile, so their next partner would need to be sensitive and considerate about that. The app works quite similarly to other dating apps, except with Playdate, there is no swiping left or right. I specifically left that feature out because it takes out the humiliation one feels with rejection. With Playdate, to connect with someone all you need to do is send them a chat request and they can either accept or reject it.
It is less confrontational! When signing up, you have to include your single parent status as separated, divorced, or widowed β and also information on your children and whether or not you would like more children. You set your filters too. Then you have a chat feature and a match feature, which pairs you with others based on your filters.
