[quote=Anonymous]OP,  if you are on match, and as other PPs have said, there are ways to filter out men who have no kids so that only divorced/single dads will fall into your search results.

You can also indicate in your own profile that you are looking for someone with kids or who wants to have kids - so that way if a man does look at your profile, he knows (if he's paying attention) what you want in a potential partner.

All that said, in your profile itself, I would be very clear that you are looking to meet/date someone who understands family life, or someone who themselves is a single parent.  You don't need to write an essay on this but a sentence or two that clearly and succinctly conveys this is important.

I was on match for a little while and as single dad myself, only went on dates with single parents or women who had been divorced and/or who indicated they were open to the idea of blending a family.  I can tell you that while online dating is a bit rough, I had no shortage of dates.

It took time, as dating does no matter how you meet someone, to find someone. I met someone who is a great fit for me (as I am to her) - she's a single parent and she completely understood the life as a single parent.  The key is to be able to find or attract that type of person through your profile and through your own search criteria.

Take a careful look at your profile, your search criteria. If you know men who can look at your profile that would also be helpful as they can give you feedback on what men look for in a profile.  Also think about the demographic you are searching through - age, ethnicity, education, distance, etc.

By the way, she contacted me first.  And she found me only because one day she unmarked "Caucasian" in her filter and apparently my profile popped up as a top choice in her results.

Good luck!
