INDEPENDENT.CO.UK. – Sep 11 – Having an unattached parent gave two brothers (Matt and Tim Connolly) an idea for MyLovelyParent.com, a dating site where they could advertise their lovely mum to prospective suitors. A child signs up its parent, writes a profile for them and they can then browse the site and send recommendations of people they like into their mother or father's inbox. With 30% of Brits in their fifties single, divorced or widowed, the potential market for a dating tool that targets older members of the populous is large. Bob Greg, founder of OnlyDads.org, a website giving advice and support to single dads, thinks MyLovelyParent.com is "a good idea, until you really think about it. It could put an awful lot of pressure on children in an area that's not really any of their business," he says. "What happens when a relationship they've had a hand in goes wrong? It could impact on the child."
