Advice needed: Yeah, or neh.. dating another parent in our small town?

I think the answer is, no, don't do it.. but I wanted to poll the audience lol

Edit: I’m not asking if I am ready, or is she, just about idea being in same town.

Me 50/m & I'm newly single and she's 2yrs post divorce.. at a recent party a couple local moms, who I know, mentioned in passing they had another mom friend who is also single and they thought I may be a good match..

She is someone I have met before as she coaches soccer in town.. she's 45 and we both have some kids of varying ages but in same school district but due to slight age differences, I don't believe any of them know each other.. between 9-15..

That said, I like to think longer term... I feel like if things went south for whatever reason it could make things messy and given we are in small town (~20K) that may make things worse... If it went great, thank that would be lovely!

Anyway.. she's super cute and I may have a decent shot but I'm a bit apprehensive given the situation... but it sucks because we do know a lot of the same people and think it could be fun given all the things we have in common with the town, kids... etc...

Final thought - you think it's Ok if I let the numerous mom friends (through my kids) that I'm currently single and maybe the only req. is no intros to other moms in our town 🤣)

I'll stop rambling but thank you! 🙏
