Single parent playdate?

Sure, some of my close friends raised their eyebrows when I told them about my single parent play date in San Francisco with RJ, founder of SingleDad.com. “Hey, didn’t you have a little crush on him a long time ago?”

Um, yes. But now he has become like a big brother. It’s possible to be friends with another single dad — without any weird tension. Really. Right here on this blog, so many of you said that single moms and dads really can be platonic friends.

At last, here’s a little video I made of our weekend. As you can see, I’m starting to get the hang of iMovie. Cutting is the tough part. There’s so much that got left out: the drag queens in the Cheesecake factory, the Bushman who scared everyone near Fisherman’s Wharf, RJ watching college football, the girls meeting “Ms. San Francisco.”

Update:

A few hours after posting this: RJ’s girlfriend submitted a comment here. It’s my call not to post the entire comment — I don’t want to create drama — but I DO want to acknowledge her feelings.

When she wrote, “I have trust issues from previous relationships” — I knew that could be me talking. The truth is, relationships can really get complicated when there’s a lack of communication. (RJ!!)

I had been unaware about her feelings. She wrote about what it means to trust someone, and how it feels to be dating a blogger. “I think that honesty is the best policy, and I think that was lacking in our communication… and I am not able to hide my hurt,” she said.

I empathize with her more than I can express on this blog. I’ve had my share of communication issues, and I know up close what it means to feel scared and hurt. I can’t thank her enough for sharing her feelings with me.

Without further adieu…. here’s the video of our girls becoming friends. I look forward to hearing your feedback.
