Should I be? What is the best first date? Should I ask guys out or have them ask me? Should I try dating/single sites? Chat/phone lines? Where and how should I go about meeting a nice guy? I live in New York, not in the city but a small country town. Any suggestions? Please serious answers only. This question is for adults. Kids go to bed, it's past your bedtime.

glad to see you're ready to jump in ^^...there's plenty that you can do to get comfortable in the dating pool again. here are a couple of suggestions off the top of my head:
is there anything new that you've always wanted to try, but couldn't because of your signinficant other at the time (singing, dancing, rock climbing, etc) ? now is the perfect time to look into those things. try signing up for a class at a local college, or look for groups that meet up to do things that interest you. this does two things: 1) you'll do something that you've always wanted, and 2) there's something attractive about a watching a girl really getting into what she likes to do.
Also, try making friends with some cute, FRIENDLY single girls and go out often with them often. I'm sure your're cute as you say you are, but even if you feel they are more attractive than you are,
in a guys eye's, a "group of hot chicks" is a "group of hot chicks" in you follow me..
and if you really want to stand out, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't carry on a stuck-up persona as the self-proclaimed "hotties" like to do. i'm not saying flirt with every guy, but if you make eye contact with someone checking you out, attractive or not, show them your gratitude for the the compliment. look at them, and smile back. This simple gesture of courtesy will throw your competition out of the water. believe me....
And if a guy that isn't your type approches you.be polite anyway. ask him his name, shake his hand, yada yada, make some quick small talk, then be on your way. this will show all of the guys eying you that you're one hell of a classy lady, and you're too good to not pass up...take it from a guy who know know what he likes...
have fun^^

Try to lower your standards on looks some. There are many average guys that you would over look that are actually the best company out there. Remember, they are there for the same reason you are. They might not be the best looking person in the room, but I bet they can carry the best conversation, and make you laugh a great deal. It's not easy being single, believe me, I know. That being said, don't settle for less than you really want though. The guy will just get hurt in the end if you find the person that you were REALLY looking for. Good luck from the not so good looking guy in the corner lol.

I'm with out on that one. I have court next thurday to determine who get legal and physical of my 1 yr old. I have started dating though. My daughter is always with me though and I don't get an off weekend either. It's hard because some men aren't mature enough. I am only 21 though so finding a guy my age and on the same wave length is tough. They have some single parents dating sites and regular dating sited that could have really nice guys. Good Luck and congrats for deciding to get out there.

First, get the word out. Let your friends (male and female) know you are ready. They may know guys who are available, or want to meet you. Go out with your girlfriends in groups. What kinds of guys do you want to meet? Go where they are. If you are religious, join in church activities. If athletic, join a health club, or tennis club. You get the idea... take a class in something you are interested in. If you meet a guy you like, don't be afraid to ask him out. It doesn't have to be big and expensive, coffee, a "great" Chinese spot, or something is fine. Or tickets to something you are both interested in. If you have kids in school, don't forget the PTA and booster clubs.
My friends literally pushed me out the door into the dating scene again. Girl friends made me call them and practice asking them out for a date. That first date is really scary, but it is sort of like loosing your virginity... after it is over, you think "That wasn't so hard, in fact, it was kinda fun." Don't be too picky, especially with the first one. Be yourself. Don't try to be someone you are not. Most of all, have fun.

well i find the best way for me is the internet you just have got to be a bit carefull find someone who is fun to talk to and get to know each other and after awhile of talking on the internet 3 or four times of good chatting give them your phone number and talk on the phone 3 or 4 good chats then meet in person and see how it goes..
