You know its weird one my friends suggested that I go to one of those single parent w/o partners. I have really never considered it but now I actually am. I still probably wont go I dont think I am looking too hard for a woman right now anyway. Single isnt so bad I have discovered, I am actually begining to enjoy it. Although getting out of the house once in a while would be good.

i'm a s\f of 2 teenagers and live in a small town in arkansasbeen single for three years .i'm used to being alone but it sure would be nice to have sombody to go out with besides my kids .we really do need some way of telling the single parents from attached parents i kind of liked the idea of a wrist band or hat something so we don't make fools of ourselves by asking out the wrong personthere are no singles groups in my area so thats out of the question. i'd just like to know where the s\m are in my area

I am starting to think that one of those wristband things would be a good idea. Helps preclude women getting the idea when I am out with the kids that their mother is around somewhere.

I looked for that PWP group and there isn't any in MT so I am outta luck there. Makes the "Lance Armstrong" wristband idea more appealing. Would make it easier for me to ID the single moms around here too.

I am 100% single and no one has stepped in to be my kids father..he still is a part of their lives. It is really difficult and I agree we need to wear something to say...
"Single and looking"

good luck to all looking to find true happiness again...

Maybe a t-shirt saying "Mommies/Daddies apply within" and wear it everywhere...LOL

I also suggest, and this is how i feel, that you have your kids with you when "hunting". What i see in a person one-on-one is or can be entirely different then with the kids around...how they act with their kids and how they react to yours around. I'd rather meet with the kids, THEN meet solo.

Being a single parent has some advantages for the other partner looking. We are experienced at the job, and we offer a package deal, now how many of those can you get now-a-days at that price...lol.

I've been single for quite a while. I've met some women, dated, had some fun...but the "one" hasn't shown up yet.

I would love to be with a single dad. I have no problems if the mom is not involved, is involved, whatever. My little girl prays every night for a good guy to come into our lives so she can have a "daddy" who plays with her and spends time with her instead of his computer. My ex makes such a fuss over seeing her on his weekends and then plops her in front of the tv while he goes on his pc. She complains about it all the time.

I've considered borrowing a friend's dog and taking him and my daughter to the dog park,lol. I just don't know where to go...that's why I'm HERE!!!

What if the dad has full custody of his children, works 2 jobs, owns his own home, does not go out to mcdonalds all that often, is busy working and sleeping, and hopes that he finds a woman to love by using the internet dating services? I would like to find a woman to love but all of the good women live far away from me and have no desire to relocate. i can not relocate because I need to give my daughters stability and I like my home and jobs. So if you happen to know a woman that would relocate for a man, send her my way

hiya... i,m a single parent I have 2 children aged 12 and 9...and i also have a disability which stops people from making friends with me...well thats how i see it simply because i have had no response what so ever from this site..i think MacDonalds is a good idea lol i go to a club called gingerbread on a friday might at 6pm till 8pm i have made a few friends but most of those are women with children who again look through me because of my disabilty and not the symtem of me being a single parent.
take care all ...chaz :-)

Hi all. I'm not a single parent yet, but its coming quickly lol. I'm 7 months pregnant, and even tho dating scares the hell out of me, I do wish I had more of a social life. Forget meeting men that wouldn't be scared off... I'd settle for having people to talk to! A few of you mentioned single parent groups, but I can't seem to find any in my area. Any idea where I should be looking?
I did a few searches but i come up with groups in Manitoba or Ontario or.. no where remotely feasible for me to attend.

If you live in Texas near El Paso hit me up. I will be glad to host a greet and meet for us and our kids. It is time someone got proactive. Instead of saying we can't find them lets REALLY look for them and make oppurtunities in order to do that.

Old topic, new audience......

In a blinding flash of inspiration today, while out with my son, it occurred to me that I could meet parents of kids' my son's age when we are at.....Toys R Us!

They even have it sectioned out by interest and approx. age, so if you see someone shopping Disney Princess, they're probably a parent of a young daughter.

Of course, grandparents and family friends etc shop for gifts there too but think about it, dad with kid in the transformers section...I'm thinking is there any hardware on his left hand!

Maybe it's an 'Australian thing' or maybe it's a 'Perth thing'; or maybe I've just a streak of luck, but I've met 2 nice single Dads online (and dated them IRL) - on a pay site, albeit not an expensive one.

But the other thing that occurs to me is that any activity/sport/class kids do on a Saturday is often filled with Dads. Same sort of theory as seeing them at McDs on a Fri night - they are more likely to be with Dad on the weekend and so he takes them to the activities.

I teach pre-school dance, plus the my kids do swimming and Gymbaroo and Saturday is always full of Dads. Of course the 'trick' is to identify the single ones!

I think that it's not appropriate for you too meet "other people" with your kids around. You really don't know who you are meeting and why would you want to expose your kids to other men/women whatever. Um haven't you seen that new move "The Stepfather" you have to get to know the person well before you bring your kids around.
