So I am a soon to be divorced mum of two under 3.
So I don't exactly have a riveting social life, and if I do go out its a girly night with my friends.

I have been single over a year now, and while I quiet capable of being a single pringle but a date of two would be nice.

Anyone got any ideas of how to get back in the dating pool?
I am a bit Hmm Confused about internet sites not sure where to start.

There is a dating thread on here that is quite good fun when you get going. Online dating is a learning curve. Personally I found okcupid good to find someone of like mind and interest (if you do the surveys) but perhaps not particularly serious. It was a good place to get started with some fun evenings out. Eventually, if you want to find a serious bloke, head for the more expensive paid-or sites, e.g. eharmony/match.

Ooo enjoy dates with yourself and your friends....

Develop that riveting social life you'd like first.

Then you'll be nourishing your own soul, and also as a bonus you'll be more interesting (as a happy, active person) to any men you meet in RL or on-line.

Good luck!

I met someone lovely on match, so I'd recommend it.

I've been single for 2 years. Initially very much wanted to get into another relationship but having done some OD realised that there were lots of men available if i wanted them, but i didn't want any of them; they just were't what i was looking.

I'm genuinely enjoying being single - never thought I'd say that. I've joined lots of things, know lots more people and have learned to do thinngs I'm really enjoying - sports, dancing, volunteering. Maybe someone will come along sometime but if not I'm having a great time already.

So I'd say get involved in things with your children or on your own, and don't rush into a relationship.
