What does the rise of single mom dating mean in today's society? Well, it probably means that single parents are feeling more comfortable getting out in the dating world, that's all.

There are lots of reason why one would find themselves being a single parent, unplanned pregnancy, divorce, death of a parent. Moms are usually the ones left as the single parent, but single dads are becoming more numerous, too. This may be one of the reasons there is a rise of single mom dating. Single dads need love, too.
Statistics are that 4 out of 10 births are to unmarried women. This used to be quite the taboo in this, or any, society. But with society being able to get used to anything single parent births are more and more commonplace these days. What used to be taboo is now widely accepted.
Premarital sex is now widely accepted. Just take a look at the royal couple about to be married. They have been living together for years and have set a new standard in the royal court.

Anytime you engage in unprotected sex the possibility arises that there may be an unplanned pregnancy as a result. Even if you say you don't like surprises. Surprise! If one of you is not ready to be a parent this pregnancy will result in one of you being a single parent.

The rise of single mom dating is just due to the fact that there are so many out there now. That and the men available are more sensitive to women and more accepting of her having a child when they meet.
