Being a single parent comes with its own set of very unique problems and advantages. It is harder for them to do most everything everyone else does. This includes dating. Single parents understand the struggles of their type of life better than any other people. SingleParentMeet is an online dating and social media site that connects single parents for romance, casual hook ups and friendships.

One problem single parents often find is that there is never enough time. The days are filled with responsibilities and before you know it you're going to bed. One day leads into the next and suddenly it's been months or years since your last date. An online dating service like this one makes dating much more efficient and time-saving.

The single parent dating niche is a smaller, more intimate membership. There are mostly single parents on the site but also those who want to date them. While it may be smaller than some sites, it still boasts over 410,000 site visits per month. Surprisingly, this is one of the few dating sites that have a higher male ratio than female.

The search feature allows users to look for each other based on special characteristics. If religious beliefs are particularly important, you can search based on that. It could also be that you need someone very close to you geographically. You can search by distance from your location. You can also search by physical attributes like height, weight, age, hair color and eye color. For the more tech savvy interests, searching by activity, those currently online, new members, keywords and those who have looked at your profile. There are even just purely fun ways to search like by birthday and astrological sign.

After sign-up, the site provides you with 5 daily matches that they suggest for you. These are called your Today's Matches. Suggestions are made based on their own algorithm as well as profile points you have in common. Some suggestions will be old members, some will be new. You are not required to act upon the suggestions. Only contact members you are interested in. When you show you're interested by choosing I'm Interested, your given the choice of three replies; "No, Next Profile" or "Yes, Next Profile." When you see a profile of someone you're interested in, you can add it to the My Favorites feature so you can easily find it later. You'll hear the Echo Alert if there is a mutual interest.

The profile sections have the same features most other dating sites have. Single parents need not worry they are missing out on anything by using this site. Profiles contain the My Greeting section where you can answer three text questions about what you are looking for on the site and what you can provide for someone else. This is not required but provided as a way to help you get the most out of the site. There is also an About Me section that tells information about your career, personality, hobbies, leisure time and what you're looking for in a match. You are able to differentiate in the types of relationships you are looking for; romance, casual relationships or just friends.

Communication between members on this site is pretty standard. An easy way to meet people is to search through the I'm Interested tab and pick out someone you like. When they are notified, they can respond. You can do the same on member pictures. If you add someone to your favorites list, they are notified and can send you a message. Paid subscribers can send instant messages and emails.

One cool thing this site allows for is the emailing of profiles. If you see someone who would be perfect for a friend, you can email the profile to them whether or not they are members of the site.

Fees are on the low side when compared to other sites of this caliber. Their free membership has a lot of features but there is only one upgrade. Its biggest boost with a paid membership is being able to send emails and instant messages. There are a few other small benefits too.

This is a great site for single parents for online dating. It is worth the time for all the free benefits and the upgrade price is affordable.

I gave this place a shot, but now I’m done with it. I didn’t think I’d be getting a whole lot of responses from the women here, but I wasn’t expecting that number to be zero. I don’t have a lot of time to waste and that’s exactly what I did here. I was hoping for a lot more, but it just didn’t deliver so I’m going to be deleting my profile and moving on. It just doesn’t work for me to talk and hear nothing back.
