Dating a Dog Owner

The dating world has never been a simple place for anyone, toss in a few variables like work schedules, children, divorce and it gets more complicated. Now, what if you have a dog? You may find someone who likes dogs but may not like them as much as you like them. Pet lovers are some of the friendliest people around and it’s easy to start building a relationship when a commonality that takes up as much time, passion, and caring is shared.

Meeting someone at a local dog park or event can give you both a great starting off point and some dates can be casual and involve your pets. Your dog is important to your life, and if you’re single, your dog is your best buddy that sometimes helps you stay social, leave the house, and keeps your spirits up when work and life get to you.
With Valentine’s Day coming up, wouldn’t it be nice to find a date and meet someone who shares one of your big interests? Someone who understands that a weekend may entail getting up at 7am to walk the dog and heading home before a night out to let the dog out? Someone who wants to go on long walks and hikes with you and your dog? Or someone who is not grossed out by doggie kisses?
