Dating as a Single Parent

Practical, honest advice for finding love when the kids come first.

Single parents make up a large share of the 35–50 dating pool in Spain. Meetic, eDarling and Match all allow you to filter for daters who have children and welcome them.

Weekdays after 21:00 and Sunday lunches are your realistic windows. Choose apps that respect that pace.

Local tips from our editors

  • Mention you have kids in the bio — never as a surprise on date three.
  • Keep the first three dates kid-free. Build the relationship first, integrate later.
