How does a slightly over weight 32 yr old female with 3 kids find a man to date?

Yes you heard me... It's not as easy as it sounds to get back out there on the meat market. Not to mention dangerous. Not knowing who or what might be out there. I don't get out much and I don't go to bars. How do I meet single mature men who r not creeps? Please don't tell me church...

    You would meet them at all the same places you've met men in the past. Creeps are abundant wherever you go, yes, even in church but so are good men. don't fret about the dangers out there for a woman in your condition; they are the same as for any woman regardless of her condition. If you don't get out much you are narrow minded your chances for finding someone suitable to your interests. A prince in shinning armor is not going to fall out of the sky onto your lap. You have to be proactive, assertive and optimistic about finding a new guy. Don't let your physical condition get in the way of your quest. Remember that there a cup for every saucer and a seat for every rump, so go out there and look for what you want!

    No, it is not easy to some people, but it can be as easy as you make it. You need to get out more.!!! NO, I don't mean go to bars. Go to the park, to the mall, just a few things to show that you don't have to go to clubs to meet a guy. Most importantly be yourself, do things that you like don't try to be someone else to get a man. Most men like a woman that can hold her own. What you want is a nice sweet caring guy that is good with kids. Remember he doesn't have to be the finest, but have some type of quality, you don't need Mr. Right Now. You should also know that you can take a not so attractive guy, but by his attitude and the way he treat you will make him all you want. Basically what I am trying to say is stop looking for Mr.Cutie Pie and don't settle for Mr. Right Now, because very soon your Mr. Right will come on time.

    I was single with one child and I know how hard it is to date. I actually did the online thing. I met a few jerks but I met some nice guys too. You just have to take it slow. Talk to them on line for a while first to get to know them a little. Maybe ask questions that will help you guage their values. Then give them your cell phone number and talk on the phone for a while. Then when you're ready meet them in a public place and see how it goes from there.

    You definitely don't want to go to bars, etc. The trick is to find someone worth your time. To be worth your time, they would have to be compatible and relationship worthy. I only know of 2 ways to do this:

    1. Do things you like to do and meet people there.

    Go out with friends or groups. While you're out you will probably meet someone.

    2. Dating company (i.e. eharmony, etc)

    Get to know someone before you go out. It's not shameful, but can be expensive. Just be careful, there are some weirdos there too.

    well first off do you work and if so do the girls at work go out anywhere? somewhere ,where there would be a possibility for you to meet someone decent ? I mean after all that is what you are looking for right someone decent that will accept your kids. I know it is hard . i met my current husband through friends at a local restaraunt he was there with one of his friends. Have some of your single friends introduce you to some of their single men friends. Double date and things of that sort . good luck to you and I hope you find someone suitable soon.

    how about taking up a sport? help you get in better condition/shape and meet new people. bowling is my thing, but tennis, or some other social type activity would do. it would provide a 'safe' meeting situation. join a group activity that you have an interest in. the girlfriend and i met through bowling 18 years ago. if her mom wasn't the m-i-l from h-ll, we'd have married by now, but we don't plan on kids and it's been so long, there isn't any rush do it now.

    People are everywhere. There's no such place as "a place to meet" men/women unless you go to bars or some "singles" type situation. In these types of places you will meet creeps and cripples who have baggage and everything else.

    I never say "go to church". The last person to say that to me got punched. All the people at my church are old. And I don't mean 40 and younger, I mean Social Security old. Good luck!

    good luck honey - assuming your kids are young, it will be hard to meet someone - most men don't want the hassles of kids - they just want non-commital sex. i am in my 40's - not overweight & my kids are teenagers & i still have problems meeting decent men to date.
