Finding Love

About this episode

We did a survey last year with our single parents, and one of the number one things that people are interested in is the idea of dating again. 

We know that everybody is different, and there’s no right or wrong answer necessarily. 

So we thought it would be helpful to have a panel discussion from those of us that have actually “found love again”.

One thing we can all attest to is that there is hope relationally for us again. So we got together and shared notes on our dating experiences and came up with our ‘war stories' and shared what we are calling our ‘screening methods’ - (you know what we are talking about if you have tried to date again). 

We broke some dating issues down into three categories and shared an example of each.

Red flags (non-negotiables)

Yellow flags – (not for me - but I would pass him/her on to a friend ) 

Green flags (this is a keeper).
