I found my current boyfriend of 8 months online on plentyoffish.com. I know wierdo right!?! but I was tired of meeting crappy guys at the local pubs and no one worth my while was attending community college or at least not in any of my classes. So we met there, but realized we had mutal friends and lived not even 15 mins from eachother. Anyways, you can find it when you are ready for it. I found this quote a while back and it really feels like it will fit here.

Everyone longs to have a deep relationship with another. To be loved thoroughly & exclusively, but God says No. Not until you are satisfied, fullfilled, & content with being alone; With giving yourself totally to Me. I want you to stop planning & wishing & allow Me to give you the best you could ever imagine. Keep experiencing the satisfaction that I AM. Keep listening & learning the things that I tell you. JUST WAIT. That's all. When you are ready, I will surprise you with a love far more wonderful than you could ever expect. You see, I am working on both of you at this very moment... to have you ready at the same time.

.Don't give up and definitely DONT settle! I found my penguin and you can find yours! (incase you dont know they mate for life, the woman has mate selection, and they usually die after their love dies)

I started re-dating after breaking up with my daughter's dad of three years by internet sites, like tagged or something like that. I ran into some sorry guys and some we are just friends. I also tend to meet guys at local volunteer places like the nursing home or food It is hard to get back out there, I know but I hope that is helpful. Good Luck!

I'm going through the same thing. My advice is to get a criminal records check on anyone that will be around your kids. My roommate got a check on a guy she was dating and found out that he was a registered sex offender. You can never be too careful!
