OP - Take an honest inventory of yourself now and think back to what you did look like several years ago and what you did enjoy doing when you had a completely open lifestyle.  Also consider carefully the richness that your daughter has brought to your life and remember what was lacking in your former "single life."  Now it sound like you could use the advice to find a sitter once or twice on a regular basis during the week or on the weekend for your daughter.  During the week, you might at age six look for a younger teen who would  not be that expensive, while on a weekend perhaps an older teen who might be able to go and do a bit more with your daughter in terms of a fun activity she might enjoy; while you gave yourself time to go out.

Joining an area gym or an area activity group involved in perhaps hiking, biking, running etc. might be  a good initial activity in which you could work to get back in shape a bit, participate in an activity you enjoy or once did as well as meeting people guys and gals with a similar interest.  Also giving yourself an option of a week night out might be more relaxing and less stressful that a weekend when "the girls are on the prowl."  Before you look for a sitter do some research to see if there might be a time when your single friends do usually meet up for a girls night out, or to go to a specific kind of activity or if there are any movie, discussion, volunteer, adult ed classes etc. that you might like to try.  Connecting with other single Moms might also help you to find a way to exchange child care at no cost.
