Single dad meet Latina mom (Seriously, try it)

(Editor’s note: I am not a single father, or a father at all as of March 5, 2013.)

When your priorities start with making sure Vanessa has enough money in her backpack and end with ransacking Henry’s baseball equipment bag, while searching for your car keys as you head out the door, the thought of dating for a single dad could be as alarming as a jolt of cafecito.

We’re all about the home team and would rather brag about his triple with the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh or her exquisite performance in Cinderella, rather than fathom the idea of adding an independent, hot and funny – among other things - mamasita into the mix

But it’s not impossible and you could be in for a happy ending, especially if she’s a Latina mom.

1.)    They’re so damn sexy: They wear that wrap-around skirt and toss up their long hair with utter confidence, but they bring so much more to the table that will make you woody. They know what they’re looking for and won’t stutter in telling you so. They’re in it for the long run, if you show her you are too.

2.)    They’re appreciative: Latina moms love small gestures and really take well to kindness and sincerity, at least most of them.  So, open the door and kiss her – even in public – as you not only make her yours, but make others want her. Now, that’s hot. With time you will start seeing a return on your investment. Who knows? You might even get a warm shot of cafecito, if you prove to be the one.

3.)    They’re funny: By now you’re an expert at laughing away when one of your kiddies does something really silly in the backseat or makes an off-the-wall comment. But Latina moms will be right there with you and outwit you, while cracking at your own jokes.

                                    

4.)    They’re organized and independent: Just like you papi our favorite moms are occupied with making sure all the homework is done and the uniforms are ironed while also working, tending o family issues, cleaning the house and planning a kids trip to the movies. Who wouldn’t want a piece of that?

5.)    They’re honest:  You’ve cracked the door halfway open by having a mom accepting your invitation to go out. It’s quite the start because it’s an indication she’s into you and what you stand for, while setting things up for a long relationship.

                                       

6.)    They don’t like when you fu%$ up: If you do something really stupid you will never hear from her again. And she’ll call you to let you know as well.
