Dear Fonseca,
Dating as a single mother is tough. I met a great guy a month ago. We've had five or six fantastic dates. I thought I had all my bases covered until I discovered we support different political parties. My friends say it's no big deal and that we can still date, just don't talk politics. I'm not sure our core values are the same and that would be a problem in the long run. Is it possible for this relationship to be successful? Should I end it now?
