| Definitely not bars. I would join a group activity that is your bona fide hobby. Volunteer. PTA. Gym. Also, work on yourself. As in therapy, figuring out why you are divorced, what you brought to the table that caused the marriage to end. You usually meet that person through friends or activities, but when you are least expecting it. You attract people at your emotional level, so work on yours to attract someone 'better.' |

Never know if questions like these are real or not, but I'll reply in case the OP is sincere.
There are a lot of people like you in NW DC and metro area, including me. Meeting eligible single moms is not a problem, especially if you try Match or OK Cupid. There are many, many attractive and available and successful single moms in metro DC area. I agree with PP that you should work on you first. The emotional level point is spot on. Assuming you are sincere, try online. Be safe, be nice, and have fun. |

| If you're attractive, women will pop out of the woodwork as that is the age eligible men start to outnumber eligible women. Also decide if you're done having kids and figure out what you could change for next time. |

DCUM is big on Sexless Marriages and single parents can't get laid until their kids grow up.
Pay attention! |

Not you again! Not true! I've always got laid and being a single mother didn't change that! I'd choose a responsible single dad in a minute over a single guy in a bar.Nobody wants the bar dude, why would I ?! |

| In your 40's with young children?! How young? |

as a woman, single, divorce, etc., you can get laid really any time you want |

true, a woman saying she "got laid" is basically saying she's a slut. Getting laid is not an achievement for a woman. 80%+ can have sex whenever and wherever they want. |

| Newly divorced single mom with young child here. We are out there, doing stuff with our kids. I will eventually get on line, but I would love to meet another single parent out at the playground, running in the park or some place like that. Just out being a dad will attract someone like me. Unfortunately I have never seen a single dad out with his kids, they are ALL married! |

| I'm with 19:56 - if your kids are young, take them to the park and strike up conversations with the moms whose kids are playing with them. Or take them to their activities (soccer, etc.) Chances are you'll meet someone. It's hard being a single parent of young kids - a lot of the married folks are still happy or still "married for the sake of the kids." I think it might be easier to find other single parents as our kids get older and more marriages split up, though it feels kind of mean to think that. (single mom here.) |
