I really need some advice. Have you been in similar situation? Are there online dating sites for single parents and not breaking the bank? Any other ideas?
Thanks

I was right where you are about 3 years ago. A friend talked me into match.com--they had a free trial offer then and they might still. I answered 2 responses to my add and 3 yrs later, I married the 1st one I answered. (I guess your first reaction is the best!) LOL Also, what about any parents without partners groups in your area? Normally the local library might know of these groups since that is where most of them meet. I wish you the best of luck, I know what it is like being a single, single mom. Just because we are a mom does not mean we lost the right to find happiness. Blessings to you!

I am sorry I havn't been in your situation(single, yes, but that was without children).
I believe it is achievable.
I have never been on those dating sites as I don't really trust them.
Call me paranoid,or whatever, but I believe they are for those
who are truly desperate. I do know some people have found love,
but I would be wary.
What type of interest/hobbies do you like?
Chances are you will meet someone who also loves the same things you do, ie, if you like painting - take up a class, chances
are you will meet someone nice in the painting class.
With children, it must be difficult as you are limited with time
and probably will need a sitter.
I am sure some relatives or a good friend would be able to sit for your little ones while you get out a little bit more.
The key is in getting out. You are not going to really meet anyone from home.
I wish you the best.
Above all, try to have fun and enjoy yourself as if you are really
wanting someone, you may come across as desperate and this may be off-putting with some guys.
Keep smiling :)

I guess you have all chances in the world. But if you ask me, one thing you will have to arrange is TIME. To date a parent can be very frustrating if you are constantly being left behind ALL the time. I know kids come first, but I have quit a relationship cause of being left behind all the time. And in two years the guy could not still fill in the gap cause he STILL cant think about anything else but his kids. Even his ex (the kids' mom) has no trouble on dating, cause she can manages to be a mom and still have romantic candle dinners and honey moon trips with her bf's.
So get used to the idea you will have to be available, if you want to date! the 'very busy' mum will have to step back a while, so that the 'wonderful woman' can step on ;-) I wish you best good luck.

To begin with, I think you need to consider all the reasons men might have for rejecting you.
Some men might assume you're serious about getting married in the near future, and for some, that is reason enough to run, with or without kids. If you are looking for marriage, and that's why a man runs, let him go.
Likewise, a man may have decided he doesn't want kids, his or anyone else's. No problem, he's not your type.
He might be concerned about the financial responsibility of raising children. Do what you can to increase your own earning ability, and if you don't need his money, make sure he knows that as soon as possible.
A man might be put off, because he wants kids of his own, and he assumes you don't want any more. If you do want more, letting him know that might be a good idea.
If you don't want anymore kids, look for a divorced/widowed man, who already has kids.

I'll give you one bit of advice......Never say you don't have much time for a full time romance. You give off this impression like you're looking for someone whose not to serious, more like a fling. I'm pretty sure that's not what you are looking for, but you don't say that to men, b/c then they'll want to date you for one thing....SEX. Dating sites can be unreal. People are not who they say they are. What I suggest? Dress your best, get fit (if your not), and you'll be surprised to meet a man in places you never expected to. Like the supermarket, bank, mall, bars, and even a gym. Join a gym. There is tons of men there. If you had to go w/a dating site, use yahoo, personals. I know someone who met her now husband on that site.

Look in the local paper for someone whos not too far away, failing that, most on-line dating agencies are suitable for single parents. You will find a lot of men with children on there too. Most men will say if they are not interested in a ready made family or not. Good luck!

Have you ever thought about salsa or ballroom dancing? It is somewhere you can go to laugh, learn and meet people. Enjoy yourself while you put yourself out to meet someone. Take yourself out to lunch at places where you know a lot of people eat everyday. I found out that if you eat in an business cafeteria or lunchroom, you are sure to meet someone who has a job! (Ha! Ha!) And you get to see the same faces everyday and they will see you. Try it!!!!!!!!!! And if you keep believing that you don't have time, then you won't!
