So if you're a newly single mum, how DO you meet other (nice) blokes???

[D74]

I mean, if you're not into pubs / clubs and your mates are all married off etc..???

Just wondered if there are success stories out there - and is marriage better second time around? x

Very good question! I will keep watching this to see if someone comes up with anything.

It is sooo easy in the soaps!

Agree - very good question to which I don't have an answer.
Beginning to formulate plan that involves me getting some kind of social life going before searching for a man - can't imaging meeting someone right now (online or otherwise) and then having to admit that my evenings consist of (no offence) browsing mumsnet and more browsing mumsnet.

have not read all this thread, but i am single (20 months) and have met lots of people on date sites... some nice, some weird, geaky, ugly, drippy , some fit , some crazy.... but its a great way to meet new friends, or find romance etc. Better than the local pub cos you meet people you know a bit about before hand. You can meet guys who have similar interests or have kids similar age... things in common. Its really the best way.. I think ..
Still not found Mr Right .... but heres hoping. !!!

totally agree with kama's post

Yes with Kama post as I have just come out of a relationship 8 weeks ago & in the past 2 weeks have met new men & I wasnt looking & have just made friends with them, one I have been on a couple of dates with.

Just expand your circle get chatting to people.
