[quote=Anonymous]It really depends on a lot of factors.  I've been a single mom since I was 36.  I won't lie, I don't date much.  The pool of eligible, smart, funny, nice guys is not huge in the first place at my age, and when you only have 2 nights a week away from the kid, it's hard to find time to really get out there and look for one.  The guys I've dated have been fine with me having a kid, though they're sometimes clueless on what it means, schedule-wise.

Some of my friends have had an easier time of it.  I do know single moms who date ALL the time.  In most cases, they are either super hot or really using the online dating.  Online dating is definitely the easiest way to meet guys if you put the time into it.

I will warn you - even more than dating, it can be really hard to juggle everything when you're a single mom.  You're managing your schedule, your kid's schedule, probably your ex's schedule, all appointments, all activities, all school stuff, all research (daycare, preschool, schools, etc.), all the school clothes and supplies... that's on top of your job, your social life, your workouts, and keeping up with a house/yard/etc.  I have more energy/organization skills than most and even I find it overwhelming at times.[/quote]
