[quote=Anonymous]Don't listen to the jerks here saying you can't meet a good guy.

Also, just because you have single mom friends who've met guys, you may not know how long they were looking or what they were looking for in a new partner.  Maybe they got lucky or maybe they didn't have too many criteria on a list.  Who knows.

But the first thing is to make sure you're in a good place - that you are happy and leading a good life.  Stay active, do things that make you happy and your attractiveness quotient will naturally increase.

Second, what types of guys are you looking for?  What's your target age bracket?  As another PP said, you might need to expand the search and include guys who might be slightly older - so if you in your early 30s, you may want think about looking at guys in their early to mid 40s.

As a single father, I don't date women who love too far away - I have limited free time and don't want to spend it driving or sitting in traffic just to meet someone for a drink.  I live close to downtown and there are plenty of folks who live close by so I set a limit of a 10 mile radius in my online dating search.

If you're worried about men not noticing you - the first  thing is to figure out if you're giving off a vibe that says 'stay away'.  I wouldn't blatantly hit on you with a kid in tow but I would strike up a simple conversation if I was certain you weren't married.  Too many new moms don't wear a wedding band and it's risky sometimes for a guy to make a move - even a simple attempt.
