Sick of being single... been on my own a loooong time - help!... how do I 'get back out there'?

[PatienceLong]

Been a single mum for a few years, wasn't in any hurry to meet anyone as my children are my priority, but they are getting older now and I'm feeling the need to find someone more and more.
ALL my friends are happily married/in a relationship so I have no one to go out on any kind of singles night out etc
Any advice on how to meet singles (as non-crazy as possible)?
Ideas/advice from personal experience much appreciated too
TIA x

There are three or four threads identical to yours every week. The replies are always the same. Suggest you do a search

Its all the usual stuff - online dating, hobbies etc. Its hard if you don't have anyone to socialise with - surely your friends can still have girlie nights out? Just because they are married shouldn't mean they are completely unavailable.
You could try online dating if you're really not getting out there but do your research and be prepared to have to wade through lots of time-wasters and weirdos.

The replies here are really unhelpful OP!

You could try online dating but personally I found it really hard and did meet some weirdos.

I met my now DH through friends. So my advice is to try and socialise as much as possible as you just never know who you might meet via friends. Appreciate that is more difficult with children but say yes to as many invites/ new experiences as possible.

I can imagine there are alot of threads like this yes! Too many of us in the same boat
Thanks though guys... I'll definitely try and get out more, and maybe 'look' at some dating apps with caution lol... X

I'm single too OP.
Look at the dating thread. www.mumsnet.com/Talk/relationships/3705567-Dating-thread-171-Turning-over-new-leaves-as-we-head-into-autumn

I have signed up for OLD but not met anyone yet. Am inactive now as I am not ready to date just yet.
