Where to find a good man?

Question

37 y.old,single,white female with one child. Any ideas???

Answer 1

Why not reveal a little about yourself in your Yahoo description of yourself and then anyone answering your questions will be able to see if theyve got anything in common with you. You could even reveal your e-mail address too and start chatting to people. Don't shut yourself off. You can always change your e-mail address!

Get out there, join a night class that will attract the right type of guy maybe art or something like drama or dancing

Don't sit waiting for something to happen.

Get out there and just pick a guy you like and tell him he doesnt realise it yet but your the best thing that happened to him!

The best advice I can give to a women who is looking for a man is to be forward

If you see some guy you like and get to know him tell him he's tacking you out on Saturday night and ask him what time he's picking you up and where he's taking you!

Expose yourself to as many social events as you can to maximise your chances.

This sounds a bit odd but I would definitely withhold sex to check how interested guys are - believe me if a guy is genuinely interested he'll stay interested. And the longer he has to wait the longer he has to realise just why he should be with you long term!

And remember that men are like buses....there'll be another one along in a minute!

Answer 2

You said that you have one child, try going to a PTA meeting or one of the childs school activities. More than likely there will be at least one single man there. It may not be a good man, but it will put you back in touch with dating and all, and you don't even have to go out with him. If you start talking to some man at the event and then see him a couple of weeks later at the store and say hi, he might be with a friend and that friend will ask about you and he may be a good man.
Also do you have a hobby? If you do, join a group, chances are there is at least one man in the group and he may have a friend.
Of course you didn't say how old your child is and that would certinly influence how late you can stay out or if you can find a baby sitter to watch him/her for a few hours.
Good luck. There are good men out there, they may be gun shy from getting burned by bad women, but look around. You don't have to go to a dating service or to bars to find a decent man.

Answer 3

I'm twenty-six and have a daughter who is two in January. I thought that I was 'out of the game' as I am a single working mother and the thought that no guy would want to go out with someone who has a child. I work full-time and, with a child, I don't go nightclubbing or out that much anymore. I tried the Internet and met a nice guy and dated him for 10 months. It's good becasue you (and they) can be very specific about what you are after in a partner. I recommend RSVP. I know a lot of other people who have also met their current partner via the Internet. But be reful and selective, meet in a public place, and don't feel obliged to answer to everyone who contacts you. Good luck!

Answer 4

I'll say eharmony, but be careful. From personal experience, many men with means use that site as a regular dating site, not to meet any soul mate. I do think it's a great concept though. It weeds out most of the bad ones, and delves into personality and preference concepts that would normally take awhile by meeting someone in public. Stay away from the bars. Odds are against good folks being there. It's a meat market. My mother swears I should camp out in a bookstore. Take what you can from this. And if you find one somewhere, let me know what you did, because I'd love to meet one too...I'm a 31 y.o., single, white female with two kids. :)

Answer 5

Open your eyes...you are probably surrounded by them, but you may be looking in the wrong direction :) But to actually answer your question: Grocery Store, Laundramat, Starbucks/Coffee Shop. Stay away from the bar scene unless you just want a piece of ***. All the other listed places are where you might run into a quality guy.

You see a guy in the grocery store...you can check out what's in his basket and get a glimpse of how he takes care of himself...or doesn't. Big bags of potato chips and TV dinners....STEER CLEAR!! He can't cook and will expect you to. Fresh veggies and meat...now there's a guy who cooks and probably doesn't even need the microwave to do it!! LOL.

Guy doing laundry: DUH..he does it...I would assume that women like a guy who wears clean clothes...if he's there, then he gets that too. You can check out how he folds his clothes (organizational skills) or whether he just throws them all in a garbage bag and walks out when he's done. (Probably lazy with clothes all over the floor at home...but he knows which pile is dirty and which is clean....LOL)

Starbucks: Well, think about it like this...there are more or less 3 types of people who hang out at Starbucks...High Schoolers who are too young to really hang out anywhere else, College students who are trying to get some serenity and caffeine so that they can cram for their exams or finish their term papers, and everyday professionals who just simply want to get a coffee on the way to work. Now, here's your angle...he's on his way to WORK...so he has a job. Next...Starbucks is EXPENSIVE, so if he can afford it on a daily basis, he probably isn't doing too bad. Additionally...coffee shops are ideal for social meetings.

Hope that helped! By the way...you'd be surprised how soon you find what you are looking for once you "stop looking."

Have a good one!!!!

Answer 6

I met my husband on yahoo personals. You only have to pay if you actually want to contact someone, it was $20 a months. I think if you want to find someone who shares the same values, etc, it's ok to look online. After all, do you really want someone who spends their time at BARS to pickup women?

Answer 7

you could try a couple websites, match.com or date.com. Also maybe go out with your friends somtime and get a baby sitter. Get all dolled up and mayb you'll meet a great guy while out. You could try a bar, or a club.
