This Mother's Day, True.com Experts Offer Tips for Success in Life, Work, Play ... and Love

DALLAS, May 8 /PRNewswire/ -- As today's single parents refine schedule- juggling to an art form, TRUE, the leading scientifically based online relationship service, is recognizing the more than 10 million single moms in the United States* by sharing expert advice on how they can embrace life, work, play and love into their lives.

"Single mothers have many responsibilities -- juggling parenting, work, family and friends -- and at times they tend to postpone or even lose sight of their own personal needs," said Herb Vest, founder and CEO of TRUE. "At TRUE, we understand and recognize the challenges single mothers face to make time for romance. We want to empower these extraordinary women by providing them with tools to build meaningful and successful relationships."

To help single moms fit romance into their busy schedules, TRUE's team of experts recommends the following expert tips:

  • *Maintain adult connections -- The single mom's typical to-do list leaves little time for social interaction, making it difficult to develop the deeply connected adult relationships everyone needs. It's vital to make time for a social life with adults and nurture and maintain relationships with friends to prevent feelings of isolation. Maintaining your social skills also builds self-confidence, which will make them even more attractive to potential matches.
  • *Get to know yourself -- Many single, working mothers find themselves stretched to the limit both at work and at home, which can sometimes cause them to sublimate their own goals in favor of their children's. It's important to identify those love life goals, especially as one begins to meet people online.
  • *Protect yourself and your family -- Safety and security are paramount for single moms who have not only themselves, but their children to protect. Single moms should choose the most safe and secure environment to meet new friends and potential love interests.
  • *Find a balance -- Single moms' biggest challenge is to achieve a balanced lifestyle. They should take time to reflect on their priorities, needs and desires. Mother's Day is an ideal time to stop and evaluate the past year and identify changes to make in the coming months -- especially when it comes to social and personal activities ... and of course, making time to find a successful and meaningful relationship.

Online dating is a very convenient way for busy single moms to expand their circle of friends and even begin to dive into romance. On True.com, single moms have over 7,000,000 singles to choose from, offering an instant network of potential friends and love interests. TRUE's national campaign to promote safer online dating particularly benefits single parents by running marriage and criminal background screenings on all communicating members. TRUE also allows single moms to meet a great number of people without initially even leaving the comfort of their homes, encouraging email exchanges, live chats and even virtual dates in its chatrooms. This enables couples to get to know one another before meeting in person.
