Single parent dating in Las Vegas

Between school runs, practices and custody handoffs, dating time is limited. Here's how Las Vegas single parents make the most of it.

Pick apps that let you filter

Match and Hinge let you show and filter for whether someone has or wants kids. Saying you're a parent up front saves you from matches who aren't interested. See dating sites for single parents.

Where single parents meet

  • Youth sports sidelines and school events (keep it friendly, not flirty, at first).
  • Parent meetups and family-friendly groups in Henderson and Summerlin.
  • Adult rec leagues and gyms during your kid-free time.
  • Friends of friends. Tell people you're open to being set up.

Make the schedule work

  • Use your kid-free nights, and don't feel guilty about it.
  • Weekday lunch dates count, especially if your ex has the kids on weekends.
  • Plan around the CCSD calendar: breaks and long weekends are easier to book a sitter for, or harder if you have the kids.

Introducing your kids

Wait until the relationship is steady, often several months in. Start with a casual, short activity, like a park or pizza, rather than a big family outing.
