I've been seperated for almost two years and I think I'm finally ready to get out there and meet someone. Here's my problem. I have a full time job and full custody of two young boys. My friends keep telling me to go out more and meet people. Thing is, I don't like bars and I'm really not comfortable with personal adds.<BR>Are there any single parents out there who have any ideas on places where I might be able to meet someone nice?

Health clubs are good place (meat markets) to meet people, however the cutie in the spandex is going to hurt your self esteem - not to mention your chances - if you're not up to a physical standard to compete with that. My girlfriend recently started attending a singles group through her church. They went on a lot of fun outings and she met someone she thinks is very special. (I'm shocked by how quickly they started making plans to marry). I'm sure you can meet an equal mix of devout to not so devout people even through a church organization. Do HAVE FUN!!! You'll meet someone so fast your head will spin once you get that "I'm interested" attitude going.<P>Good Luck!<P>Harlequin

I don't know if there are any local sports teams, but take your kids to ADULT softball games, baseball games, soccer games, football games. There usually are men there.<P>First the kids will like it, if they are old enough to watch for awhile. Second, there should be alot of other adults, even women to get to know. You also could go the route<BR>of looking for new women friends, who might know suitable male friends.<P>That way, they do the work, the friends are not totally unknowns, (like good looking bar inhabiting criminals) and you expand the availability pool exponentially.<P>Look for any activity clubs through the paper, or on the web in your area.<BR>I just joined one for coed soccer. Yippee!<P>thl<P>
