Can single mums find love?

Any good mother will sacrifice everything for their kids - this extends not only to money, work and time but also spending their life with a new lover.

Between work, school, after school care, weekend care and if their isnt shared custody - where does a single mother find time to meet a significant other?

Any social time is usually spent doing kids activities - school sports, school plays, school friends - and as such, single mothers social circles tend to be dominated by parents of other children (who are usually in a relationship themselves).

And even if you do find some time without the kids, where do you meet someone? Bars? Clubs? Internet Dating sites? Are these really places you should be looking for someone? All those places seem to focus more on sex than longterm relationships?

course they can find love... however as single mums are not standardised (yet) there is no one size fits all means nor place to find that special person

posting on biggie helps

what is a single mum doing looking for love... surely they've had their chance and they've wasted it

and here we go....

Out of all the single parents (mums and dads) I know (15ish maybe?), 3 of them are single. One only just broke up, one is fucking crazy and the other is a prize catch I suspect spends too much time working lately to find someone decent.

As bob d says, there's no one size fits all solution as to where they found their current loves. Some via dating sites, some via bars/clubs, some via social circles (their friends, workmates or via other kids parents).



Well if you write off those places (the single most common places everyone finds love) then you're fucked. Or not fucked. Of course lots of people are looking for a quick hookup, and that's fine. Even a single parent needs a quick root every now and then, but there are still lots of people looking for the same things you are. Of course it's not easy, no one ever said it was, that's part of bringing up a kid, single or with the other parent.

I <3'ed a single Mum, I didn't work out but that had nothing to do with the fact that shes a single mum

Yeah well it depends on their situation, some women cant live without a man some do better without them... me..well I dont know I must be really unattractive..bat shit insane..too shy or something meh. Oh well. Havent really given it much effort though. Out of all the options I think meeting people through people is probably the way to go.

Where do you suggest we look? And why is it inappropriate? does becoming a parent mean you don't want to just hook up? Or does it just make you a dirty hoocihe with a stinking cooch if you're a single mum hanging out in a bar?

I've only recently entered the ranks of single parenting, and yes I spend the majority of my time with my son or working, but I have always made time for myself.... even when I was with my ex.

A root might be choice though aye bro.

Hello.

Haha seriously though being a single mum seems to give other people the thought its ok to judge..scrutinise...lol being single is awesome..I love it .... and having a child is even more awesome...best of both worlds..serious business parenting and work and then fun times partying and buying cute stuff with no one growling ..

They probably find love the same way everyone else does. Everyone has a busy life, you'll usually find someone who is suited to you if they frequent the same places you frequent. Its all about getting involved.

Go stand in the power tool aisle at the Warehouse or Bunnings or Supercheap Auto- blokes be falling over themselves to talk to you.

I sent you a PM!!!
