I have been divorced for about two years now. After I left her I have nobody to talk on the phone or hangout with at all. I mean NOBODY. I'm not a drinker so I don't do bars. I also look at clubs as being nothing more than drama waiting to happen. I can honestly say that my six year old is my best friend. But I know that I cant hangout with my kids for the rest of my life.So to make a long story short..I am tired of just sitting here every weekend and having no social life. So if you were me and in my postion, what would you do? Be honest.

You could try taking classes at a local college, or some cities have community classes. I made friends this way, because, like you, I wasn't into the bar scene. Also, there might be a single dad group in your area. I don't know what you do as a career, but I also started joining networking type groups and met friends at these groups. It took time and a lot of effort, but I now have friends that share my interests and understand my situation.

I don't have kids, but I have heard of parents having "play dates." That way the parents and kids both get to spend time socializing. Not sure if you're into church, but that is a positive environment, and you can meet other parents just like yourself. My church has a single parents group, so maybe one of your local churches would have one of those? I'm not a pro-internet dating website advocate, but that's an alternative. I have seen in the local newspapers a dating service called "It's just lunch". Do you have any hobbies? Clubs are a great way to meet people as well. There are soooo many ways to meet people out there. You just have to start looking. Check your local newspaper for events or groups, and get out of the house. Good luck!

Sorry pal. Are you emotionally restored/healed? Or how much is there in you still bothering you, is it a stigma in you that it bruised you?
If your emotiomn in you is not restored you may be very bottled up and may bursted out easliy. going to bar is not a bad things, unless u complaint that it is noises and not yr type to hang out. but being judgmental then it is not a good thing already. That may carry over to other areas in yr interaction with people.
Trying doing things for other where you will not get a chance to be appreciated, and see how you will feel?
Trying reading the bible also start off with Gopsel of John ...

Go to a sports bar when there's a big game on and hang out. There will be plenty of men there and easier to strike a conversation.
