Well this is a new world to me. My husband of 10 yrs decided he did not want to be married anymore. We had built a beautiful life and are blessed with 3 terrific kids. I am now in school working on my paramedic degree, working, takinig care of a new house and trying to be the best mom I can. I feel like it is time to try and meet some new people and attempt dating. My problem is where to meet people in the same situation who understand and love kids.
The guys I have been meeting are not so interested in the single mom thing. Well I guess it take time and a little luck! Any suggestions?

Time? YES. It takes a lot of time. Especially if you are at all particular about who you date. LOL. I think that making friends is a good idea. You will find a whole lot of them 'round here.

Welcome. Jump in wherever. All roads lead to good conversation 'round here.

Hi astrofan,
Welcome aboard! Dating does take time...especially if you are as picky as me. Friendship however is easy. I personally play sports and meet a lot of people doing that. Not always to go out with, but just to get together with at the sport and then hang out a little afterwards and just talk. Sometimes they go out, and I am always invited to go but I am not always able to with my schedule, however it opens the door for friendships to develop. My sister does aerobics at the local community center and it is pay as you go. She has ladies night out with them once in a while. There are also activities through the church if you belong to one. Our church has a "Focus on Motherhood" group that gets together. They leave the kids at the church for the youth group to babysit while they go see a movie and have dinner and things like that. It really just depends on what you like to do and how willing you are get involved in things. I hope you find something soon. I also hope to see you around here...we can always use another person to bounce things off of. Take care.
