Dating Tips for Single Parents

I am a newly "single" mom of three kids all 5 and under. I was married for 5 years, and was abused throughout the whole marriage, until I got the strength to walk away, not for me but for the safety of my children.

But that's not what this is about!

Shortly after I left my husband, I signed up for several dating sites, that were free to women (sorry guys, but some are completely free), to help meet people. When those didn't work, I would just walk around the mall scoping out good looking guys, trying to meet guys at stop lights while driving (I got tons of attention, but nothing worth my time) and when all else failed I turned to LiveLink, phone chat line, where I met the guy I HOPE to spend the rest of my life with.

So the main places I started were Plentyoffish.com, OkCupid.com, Mate1.com, and last but not least Lavalife.com.

When I found a few guys I'd meet them, so if I felt any attraction to them, and then go from there, but they never really seemed to connect with me, or me with them.

Plentyoffish is totally free, I'm not sure about okcupid, but I know I didn't have to pay for it. Mate1.com is completely free for women, and I do not know about lavalife anymore (I only set up the profile and that was it).

Things like Chemistry.com and eharmony.com are just a total waste of money. Especially when you can check out plentyoffish for free to see whats out there!

When every other option for me was exhausted, I saw a commercial for LiveLinks (I used to use it when I first turned 18, but hadn't in several years so it was my first time back in almost 6 years) and called up, made my voice profile, and within minutes, I had a message from a nice sounding guy. We instantly clicked and exchanged phone numbers and he called me and talked for about 4 hours. We talked for a few days before meeting, and when we met it was like we had known each other forever. I was so comfortable with being around him, I didn't have anything to worry about! We've now been dating for a little over a month and things are GREAT! He loves my kids, my kids absolutely love him, and I couldn't be happier!

So if you are looking to make new friends or see whats out there, the best place to go is LiveLinks.com!
