Single and stumped?

Ok so I am a single mother of 2 wonderful little boys. I have been out of the dating scene for awhile and have no idea how to get back in. I was married for 2 years and then I was in another serious realtionship. I have been single for over a year now and dont know how to go about finding someone. I know that a lot of people get scared off by women who have kids but there has to be someone out there. Please help me.

Single and stumped?
Use your kids to hook you up. I coach recreation league basketball and for whatever reason, the single parents start hooking up by the time the season is over. Strange but true. Whatever you do, don't date someone you meet at a bar because they will know you without your kids and keep that expectation.
Reply:ok.there are alot of things you could do out there to meet single men who like kids. just join something like eharmony.com. some kid of dating service that really helps you. or you could just have fun going with your friends to the mall and hunt for good lookin men with no ring on their fingers.
Reply:stop looking, stop looking with such wide eyes. wait. involve yourself in things, things you are interested in that might broaden your social exposure.


maintain your sense of confidence in your own value, a year may seem like a long time, but you will be fine, you and your children will be found.
Reply:as long as you are upfront about it, you'll find a guy that is perfectly fine with it. Because he's dating you, not your kids.
Reply:Join a local dating service or a online dating service like yahoo personals. they have other single parents on there who have no problem with single parents. Good luck
Reply:relax and wait it's even harder to date when you have boys because boys are more over protective of their mothers. try coffee dates and single father groups. dating a single dad is easier because they know how you feel too.
Reply:I am in the same boat. Most people advise me to go to match.com or some recommend going to church to find someone to date. I know that by the time I get home from work and deal with all the home issues, I don't really have time to invest in all of that. So, I think you and I both need to think about what we really want and find a way to find someone. I don't have the answer, but I think until we make a decision and step out of our comfort zone, we might find ourselves lonely for awhile.
Reply:You know what? It's very hard once you reach the 'over 21' age and have children to find a new relationship. If you go to a Bar, first you have to find a babysitter ($), then you may end up with someone who drinks or gambles their paypacket away. If you go to a unisex gym, you may end up with a gym junkie (or someone who likes their body better than they like you). I really think the only way is to get back out in the workforce (presuming you are not) and don't look too hard, someone is just around the corner.

Reply:don't look in the wrong places.... I.E. bars and clubs. I guess try a few singles websites, match.com...etc, or get involved with your childrens schools, lotsa hot single daddy's out there.
Reply:Don't give up. I know it's hard but keep positive. I am in that situation right now. I don't believe in the quote "it will happen when you are not looking for it." But I do believe it will happen at some point.
Reply:I'm a single mom of two young boys too! I know exactly what you mean. It can be scary but you just have to get back out there and start meeting people. You would be surprised at how many guys like kids and don't mind dating a mommy!!!
