Amanda, 24, Sandy
Ladies know what ladies like. The reason women think they are right all the time is because some of them often are.
In an effort to find out more information for dating dads out there, we ask some of Utah's single ladies for their views on dating single dads.
This week we have Amanda, Pilate's instructor. Full of energy who enjoys music, dancing, coffee, and surprises.
Melissa, project manager. She is bright, enjoys outdoor activities, writing, and guys who smell nice. She can also quote Star Wars movies.
And we also have Natalee, collections. She's good with numbers and knows if you tip less than 20%. She loves to read, sleep, and her color-code is blue. (I don't know if that's good or bad.)
Melissa, 34, Salt Lake City
With a bribe of Starbucks (some for hot chocolate), the ladies are here to answer a few questions for dads out there. Pay attention as they dispense words of wisdom.
When is it a good time to meet his kids? What kind of setting is best for meeting them?
Amanda: I would be comfortable meeting the kids after a month or so. By then you know how interested you are. If you're not interested in pursuing the relationship further, you shouldn't meet them. Meeting them at their house would be good, because they're comfortable there.
Melissa: I think after a few months of dating, if you're almost serious. Meet them at Chuck E. Cheese or McDonald's. Somewhere low-key.
Natalee: I would feel comfortable once it's been established their dad and I are in a relationship. It would be important to know names, ages, likes, dislikes, etc. before-hand. It would be fun to go bowling, miniature golfing or horseback riding.

When is it appropriate to kiss or hold hands in front of the kids?
Natalee: I think it's important to be sensitive to the children. If they seem all right with the adjustments I think it's good to see two people in love be affectionate, since they might not have seen how a healthy relationship works.
Melissa: PDA (public display of affection) is okay when the kids are ready....kids are so amazing. They accept things quickly. You can tell if they like who you're dating because they'll when they're going to see that person again. They'll talk about them, too (in a good way).
Amanda: I wouldn't kiss or hold hands with the guy the first time I met his kids. I would want to be around them a few times before that. I think it would be easier for them to see you as more of a friend to their dad (at first). Even after that, I wouldn't feel comfortable showing affection until we defined our relationship to the kids.
Have a question you'd like to ask, email me and I'll ask the ladies.
Because they know all the answers.
