I am a 29 year old divorced woman. I have a job, go to school to better myself, and have a cute little apartment. I am also a single mother to a 10 year old little girl. I have been divorced since December 2006. I would really like to start dating again, but have really no clue where to even start looking. I have also become alittle shy since my divorce and would like to come out of my shell to meet some new people. I really dont like the whole bar scene because I am a christian. Does anyone out there know where I can find a good, honest man. Are there any free dating sites. I am in Oklahoma.

You might see if any local church has a dating group. I heard some good reviews of dating online services like match.com, but be careful meeting those people for the first time. The nice thing about that service is you can specify criteria, like only guys that will accept your daughter.

You might try relationships.com Thats where I met my present squeeze. We have been together for 2 years now it is going well. Its a tough call as there are 4 women to 1 man. As a christian prayer helps but be patient. God might have to make some adjustments with you before you will be ready for #2. There are a lot of guys shopping but not interested in commitment so beware. And there are some who shouldnt call them selves christians at all. A lot of churches are recognizing that single people and even devorced people need to move on in there lives. It might mean visiting another church but if you are not out there it would be tough to meet someone. Focus on the child as your love for her carrys strength. God Bless

I assume there are christian churches in Oklahoma, maybe there. I'm surprised some of your friends are not trying to set you up with someone. Most of the suppose to be free dating services on the web are not..Sign up may be free, but to actually be able to contact someone through their site has costs associated with it. Bars can be depressing, but going a little on the early side with a gal-friend to see and be seen is not all bad either. Maybe your friends know of someone out there to at least get started with....Good Luck !!!!!!

Book stores, libraries, cafes or coffeehouses, book and poetry readings, art shows, parks (especially dog parks if you have a dog). I've heard of some people meeting when they were both going to night classes at the local community college, or when they were volunteering for the same charity. Also, a friend of mine learned to Salsa dance, and now she meets people when she goes out dancing. I think the main thing is, though, just go out and enjoy life, make friends and have fun. Most of the time, people end up stumbling across the one that's meant for them when they're least expecting it.

I just went through this in the last year, it is really difficult being out of the game for so long. You should try joining a couple of social groups like I did on meetup.com. I joined a couple of groups where the people had the same interests as me. I met a lot of people who were actually worth talking to. It's not a sleezy dating site though.

Church is your first choice--- find a church that has an active singles group in your age bracket.. You may have to visit every church within 50 miles..
You are attending school-- assuming Community College- see if they have a singles group in your age bracket..
Start looking into other things you are interested in-- you would amazed at how many guys are involved in things.
If you can swing a hammer.. volunteer for Habitat for Humanity---

You said free. There is only one decent free dating site out there, and it's the only one I've used.

You sound very nice. I am 43 and divorced with kids also. I wish we could go see a movie or something. But good luck in your search.

Can't you meet people at your church (since you say you are a Christian)? And what does being Christian have to do with not going to bars?
Just make sure that any potential candidate will get along with your daughter.

Since you're a christian, isn't there maybe someone in your church? I don't know if there are any free websites for dating, but maybe try google.com and plug in free dating websites and see what comes up. Good luck.
