The latest Statistics Canada figures indicate that there are approximately 1.3 million single-parent families in Canada. This is up 70 percent between 1981 and 2001. That is within 20 years! If you are a dating man or woman and a single parent, 25dates.com has events tailored specifically for you. Not only do we have our regular speed dating events, where you will undoubtedly meet other single parents, we also have a speed dating event especially for parents who are single. [google_ad] We currently hold single parent (and those who love them) speed dating nights in both Toronto and Vancouver for single parents between the ages of 30-45. One of the advantages of attending a single parents speed dating event is that right off the bat, everyone knows that everyone there has kids, or is completely open to their potential partner having kids. It is something you immediately have in common. As we all know, single parents have limited time to go out and meet new people, which is one of the many reasons our single parents events have done so well. Where else can you meet up to 20 single people (of the opposite sex) within 2 hours? There is no excuse for not meeting someone, if that is what you would like to do. Join us at one of our regular speed dating events, or at our single parents events and find out who is out there for you. If you don't try, it won't happen. The worst that will happen is you will have a fun night out, meet some interesting people, get a bit of a break, and have a new experience.
