Single Parents Make the Most of ‘Pressure-off’ Dating During Recession

The reduction in the cost of dating begins by choosing the relatively inexpensive option of finding a date online, according to members of MumsDateDads, an upbeat new dating site for single parents looking for love. This continues through less expensive meals out (or cooking a meal for two at home), great quality high street sales for a new outfit and a select few blooms rather than oversized bouquets of flowers.

Andy Hammonds, founder of MumsDateDads.co.uk, explains, "We all now recognise that far from splashing out; every penny counts, and members of the site are saying that this means they don’t feel under pressure to splurge on meals and treats or even expensive outfits as everyone is in the same boat...everyone understands."

Single parents will always put their children first and so being able to date as well without huge concerns about how much its going to cost brings a sense of freedom.

Andy continues, "This brings about more creative thinking when planning a date and means a single parent dating can relax a bit more about the cost because no one expects the bells and whistles right now."
