Speaking of being openminded, look around and make sure there isn't a good guy in your life already that you aren't paying attention to. My GF (was a single mom) married a guy who she attended undergrad with and began working near her office. He'd had a crush on her all along, but could tell she wasn't open yet (during that time she married and divorced). She didn't even recognize him yet they'd taken classes together. Another single mom I know is in a relationship now with a guy she dated years ago briefly but wasn't ready for at the time. I just realized recently that I'm interested in a guy that I friend-zoned YEARS ago, pre-kid. There was mutual interest but we were rarely single at the same time. We ended up kissing one night due to liquid courage and then acting like it never happened (pretty sure he followed my lead). I think I convinced myself that I wasn't attracted to him years ago to justify keeping in touch while in a relationship. Maybe there are good guys around you that you just haven't been paying attention to?
I'm a single mom and the same thing happened to me. I'd know a guy for a decade. When I saw him after his divorce, we flirted and it was clear there was mutual attraction. It took off from there.
