I know how you feel, I have three boys ages 10, 5, & 4 at home. I am trying to find a single mom with kids in the local area who is having trouble making ends meet. I will pay her to be a live in nanny and include room and board.

Strong I think it is great that you stepped up to the plate and handling your business!! It's tough being a single parent. I say continue to focus on providing to your children and sooner or later the right woman will recognize this and want to be apart of this. Now it might not be when you want it, but it will come. Be strong and the rest will follow. Good luck

dont take your kids with you. You can do this from home on the computer. Dont take your kids with you to meet any woman at all. In fact you will find most women will admire you and come to you if you cant go to them. All you have to do is tell them about yourself and your situation, flirt, talk on the phone, be a friend and once you get to the sexual stuff start filling them in on your potential. Only other thing I can say is Curiousity Killed the Cat. I started off at 42 with 3 babies and yes they came to see me and have had no complaints. Don't give up trying. There are plenty of decent women out there.

Hey Strong being a single parent isn't easy and finding someone will be easier for you than for a woman due to the fact that woman have a lot of respect for a man who balls up to take care of his kids and responsibilities!!! WAY TO GO VERY COOL! Now You need to find someone who has responsibilities of her own and take it slow. With young ones they have a hard time adjusting to a new person around the house. I know I have 3 boys and have been a single mom over 8 years. By the way it's good to see another montanan on here. YOU ROCK

Too bad there are not more like you out there. You are awesome!!!
My kids are lucky if their dad calls them once a month and we live in the same town.
Ask around for a reliable teenager to babysit and get out. It will be worth the $20 it will cost you. Ask a friend to set you up with someone they think you might like.
I understand all too well what you are going through. My kids were 3 & 4 when I got divorced. I have raised them alone for 7 years now. It has put a damper on my social life but been worth it. Now my kids are older and can watch themselves and I have a much more active social life. Just have patience, you are doing the right thing.

I think you are doing a great job Strong, I'm a single dad myself. Put in the time just like you, when my son was younger. He is 13 now, and he was the one that told me to get out there and find someone. Right now is relationship building time with your kids. I know it is easy to say, and hard to do, but, take it from someone who has been there, have patience, spend the time with your kids, they are only little once, everything else will fall in place.

Dateing as a single man with children is very dificult and will never get any easyer as your kids get older. Shure you most likey will find someone? I do hope that for you. Try local singel groups? I had no luck their but I know some do. Bars are a bad Idea usealy. Don't give up on grocery shoping you just may find your produce looking over a cabage and you. My two daughters are now married and I have 3 grandkids and it truly is worth everything I missed when I was as you are now. Good going your a real man!!! And your hole net worth are your kids.

Hey Buddy, Been there done that would do it all over again.
I raised my son alone from the time he was 7 years old.
His mother divorced me when I was a Detective in Sheriffs Dept in Tenn.
I devoted my entire life to him and his sister.
I dated, but let nothing come between me and my duties as a Dad.
I spent all these years until 2005. 37 years, making sure this guy
was alright. He had 2 beautiful children a girl then a boy.
I never let the fact I was alone bother me. I had 2 safe houses to
take my son to when I was working a case and friends who helped
me give Danny what I felt he needed.
He grew up around adults for the most part, We were both bouncers
here in NY worked around the corner from each other, WE always kept
contact in case one of us needed a back-up.
My life came to an abrupt crashing halt.
On December 25 2005 I found my son in the office of our bysiness
lifeless, he took his life and my heart in 1 sick instant.
I will never get over the horror I felt, If I didnt have his 2
kids bt me now most of the time, I would be with my son.
The reason for relating this, is to make a point, Treat your
children WELL, They are a Gift from God and you should feel
honored that God allows you to take care of His Soul. I would
never have thought this could happen to me, BUT it did.
I know in my Heart, I gave and did everything in my power to
Love, Respect and Honor this Man amongst Men.
Life can be so cruel and short, Give all you can to the kids
you brought into this world.
Thanks for reading.
Bubba
