Don't rush into anything, but YES... you have a great chance for love! I found myself a single mom of 2 at age 23. I went to law school and met the love of my life there. We started dating when I was 24... got married at 29... he adopted my 2 kids at 30 and a month later our son together was born. We've been married for nearly 3 year, together for nearly 9! Hang in there. Life can be good and things can turn out well!

The first answer you received from the guy named "call me" was pretty screwed up. Obviously that isn't one of the guys that you want to meet. An answer from another person stated that most men don't care if you have kids or not. Very true. BUT........there are still guys who think they can play you for a while and act like they care just to get in your pants. My advice would be to just take it slow and keep your kids out of the picture for quite some time until you're absolutely sure the new guy is the real deal and he'll be sticking around a while.
And by the way, I'm a guy.

Since your just fresh out of a relationship and dealing with 2 kids and college as a single mom, give yourself some time... You will be more likely to find a long term good relationship if you sort yourself out, find out exactly who you are alone so you know what type of guy to look for who will be long term compatable for you...
Once you know what you are looking for in a mate you will know where to go looking for him...
However if you jump immediately into a new relationship with the first guy you meet you are very likely going to drag all the problems from your longterm relationship right into the new relationship likely dooming it from the start... You choice, If you decide to jump at a new relationship without giving yourself sometime to sort it all out try bars, church or dating agencies... they are all good places to meet a man...

So many of my friends are single parents on the dating scene. You just do the things you always do and eventually you will meet someone.

The fact that you have children doesn't concern most men. There is love out there for you. Worry about being a great mom, not about men... it'll come in due time.

Yes there IS life after children! I'm a father of two. they're living with their mother, but I'm currently courting a lovely girl with 2 of her own. I actually found her through eHarmony.com if you can believe it. Good luck and don't give up hope.

Just be the kind of woman a man would want for a wife and who ever he is will find you. Don't be afraid to give it some time. Just do what your life demands and he will find you.

yes there is someone out there for everyone. Take your time and find one that is willing to accept you and the kids. Not all men have a problem raising kids that are not their own.

go back to the ways like you didn't have children and just be honest with the guy. don't hide the fact you have kids. if he is interested in you the amount of kids shouldn't really matter. sorry about the breakup.
