I'm a single mom who isn't bad looking, but my 3 year old has scared away a lot of potential dates. I've been single for 2 years now, and am ready to meet someone. Any guys out there know how to put myself out there even though I have a kid? How would you want a woman to approach you? Where is a good place to meet men? Any advice would be very much appreciated!

Well Heather if you have any interests or hobbies where like minded people meet would be a good place to hook up with someone. There are a lot of single men out there also that have kids of their own and are looking for females with same qualities. My opinion would be not to go bar hopping to find someone as majority of time it is for a one night stand only. Best of luck in your search.

don't know what to tell you on the place but be honest when you do meet someone let them know that you have a child it don't have to be the first words out of your mouth take some time to get to know each other but while ya'll are talking just bring up the fact that you have a 3 year old if he has a problem with it if he is a real man as bad as it sounds he will let you know so neither one of you waste your time. i was a single father of 2 and met a single mother of 4 now we are the proud parent of 6 children ranging from 8 to 21 so there is hope of find love.

It would be nice if women apprached me more.
Well, your 3 year old will scare people off, that's the price you pay. So we have to make the best of our situation.
If you tell guys every now and then how your 3 year old is the most important thing it wears on them. It can be true, you just don't have to say it all the time.
Never try bars first of all.
We know the most people from work. That is probably the best even though most say not to.
I meet a lot of people from community sports, I play slowpitch and volleyball.
Guys typically don't turn down attractive people if you want to be a go getter.

well, you have to meet a man first who is ok with you to have a child. myself- well, i prefer them with no children. a lot of men are the same way. but your going to have to put yourself above the rest, show who you really are to a guy and why your that much better than everyone else. Im sure you have some great quality. no great place to meet me, bars or some even try the internet. i know a girl who meets guys at the strip club. try church. wherever your the most comfortable and can be yourself the most.

Men should not date single moms. The kid will always cause problems between the mom and the b/f. Plus, a man should not be expected to raise or financially support a kid that isn't even his. Yet single mothers are often motivated by a desire for parenting support or cash, double trouble for any self respecting man.

Not a man, but...Met my boyfriend on an online dating site. We both have kids, and were both looking to meet someone with kids. Got that question out of the way before we ever chatted.

I might be young but love is love if a woman has a kid and I love this woman I would go out with her. but since society most men get stupid when there date has a kid you might what to weight a little before telling them and when its right tell them.

Join a gym, get involved in charities, get out of the house.
Believe me, I have never turned down a date because the woman had 2 kids or less. Heck, it's only scarrier because if you get attatched to the kids before she dumps you, then it hurts even more.
A good man will accept your kid(s).

i dont see how it would be hard for you as a single mom to find a great guy. i myself met my wife when she already had a child, he was 3months at the time we started talking and by the time we became a couple he was 11months.his real dadis an ****** and treated my wife like s**t and cheated on her when she was pregnant. i fell in love with her the first time we spoke to each other. im the only daddy he knows and im proud to call him my son. the deadbeat is outa the picture and will always be, his rights are going to be taken away by the courts soon for owing over 10k worth of child support, and holdin up a 7-11. but my point is, not to look for the next casanova or buff body builder that you check out, go for the nice guy, the one that can treat you right and love you like you deserve to be cared for. i know you can find a attractive guy with a great heart but look into their heart first and look at their looks next. not to brag but i both attractive and kind, i treat my wife like she is a queen and my son is my little hell raiser just like me. so keep you eyes out. i used yahoo personals. maybe even try goin on a date with a guy with no pic posted, like a blind date. but in your profile make it known that you have akid and you are looking for a serious relationship and not a one nighter. there is someone out there for everyone, you just have to try

im just 17, but my dads been through the ranks of dating while he was watching kids.. i recomend a 'out-doors man' who likes taking his kids atv' and motorcycle riding.. with a 3 year old though idk that that'd be possible... daycare?-- or have a trusted friend take care of your child.. go into the relation ship without caring about how it will benefit you financially, because i know many nice-pretty moms who were too worried about that and have been 'dumped' by good steady men.
