Guys, sometimes we can't help who we're attracted to. And with divorce rates at 50% or higher these days, there's a good chance you'll find yourself being attracted to a single mom. So are there special things you should know before dating single mom's? Yes actually, so let's look at some useful tips.

1. Single mother's are busy. Sometimes they're too busy to go out on many dates, so just getting a nice date scheduled with her may take some effort, flexibility and compromise.

Try to find out a bit about her schedule before planning the date. If she has two or three kids for instance, she probably has a lot more going on than just work and day-to-day things. She has to juggle parent teacher conferences, extracurricular school activities for each child, family time and everybody's hobbies too.

Even if she only has one child, these issues will arise, so be prepared to do your best to work around her schedule.

2. Try to find out if she has a support network around. Single moms who have a lot of family and friends around are much more likely to be able to arrange reliable babysitting services anytime they need them. This is important for single moms - it's difficult for them to go out and have fun on a date if they're worried about the kids.

If you find the single mom you want to date doesn't have much family or friends, be prepared to be a little more patient. It may take her some time to find or arrange babysitters, or she may have them available less often than others do.

4. Don't focus on the kids too much. Along with the previous tip, be sure you don't try to be overly focused on her kids. This is especially important for the first few dates. She wants a man that's interested in her. Being open to kids is great - and many single moms won't date a guy who dislikes kids - but be sure you pay enough attention to her as a woman in the beginning. It's fine to talk about her kids - better yet, let her talk about them if she'd like, and you listen.

Follow her lead in this area though. With the first few dates, she may not talk about her kids much at all. This could be because she's enjoying time away from the every day hustle and bustle, or she's interested in finding out if the two of you are compatible before bringing the kids into the mix.

5. Be prepared - and willing - to meet the kids. When you date a single mom for any length of time, you will eventually meet her children. How they react to you will depend a lot on their ages, as well as how serious you are about their mother.

It's usually best to take things slow. Get to know the woman first, and if you decide you'd like to date her regularly then start discussing date ideas with her that would involve the kids too. This way they're not feeling left out, and they're not resentful of you spending so much time with her.

6. Don't arrange all of your future dates to be with the kids included. Be sure to continue spending time and attention just on mo
