I am a single mom and have bascially been single, minus a few not-so-serious relationships, now for seven years. I've gone through periods when I've seriously been looking for someone to settle down with and times when I've been desperately lonely but hadn't the energy to try again.
The one thing I HAVE learned over the past few years of dating and not dating, is not to ever settle for less than what you deserve. It may mean that you may go through years of being alone but I truly believe it is much better to be alone than with someone who is not right for you.
Depending on your situation, I think the possiblities of where and how to meet a potential boyfriend are endless. Start spending time on yourself. Go places that interest you.....put yourself out there.......everywhere, with and without your child(ren). Chances are that if you meet this person at a museum or maybe a through other family members, other than the bar scene, you'll have more in common.
Don't dwell on the fact that you're single; sometimes it shows and you may look a little desperate and then definately will attract the wrong type of guy who could possibly be an oportunist looking for his next prey. When you start doing more just for you and your family you WILL start to feel better about yourself and your situation. It is this positivity that most definately attract the right type of people and soon enough you will realize that being alone isn't a curse and THAT"S when Mr Right is bound to step in and like you for who you are.

I'm single, never married, can't have kids of my own, would love to have a family.
There are lots of people like me out there. My suggestion is to make yourself as available as possible. Internet personals are a good start (you never know unless you try). Also getting your kids involved in sports or other 'guy' related activities. There will always be single dads out there.
On a separate note.... do your best to get a father figure for your kids. My mom and dad divorced when I was 3 and my mom never remarried. I know that's had a negative impact on me (no male role model).
Good luck!

Co workers and guy friends are the closest to a woman. So they make good relationship interests first. Other prospects include friends of your family or friends of friends.

Chat lines on the internet or phone chat lines....There's many places to look, just go in looking for average and you may suprise yourself with what you find.

Don't be afraid to let it be known that you would like to meet someone.
