I'm a single parent and lately I've found that dates that focus on the inclusion of our children make good sense. We arrange to go to parks, kids movies, Chuckee Cheeze, Arcades, nature trails, swimming, etc...
It gives the children a chance to get to know each other and gives the other parent a chance to demonstrate their fun side, which can be very appealing.
On the other side of the coin it allows you to gauge the parenting skills and the way your date interacts with his/her child.
After rereading your question I meet potential dates at the places I take my children to more often than not. That's where a lot of single parents, whom I would be interested in, hang out at.

That was a great answer geOgeO... I think if you include the children when you get together it helps takes some of the nervousness out of it 'cause you both have something in common right out of the gate. School activities are a great venue..lots of single parents at those events....I'm a soccer mom and a brownie mom. At least if I don't meet anyone there it's great fun for the kids. It's not easy especially when you at the older end of the single father spectrum like I am, but at least I'm having fun and you should too.
By the way I grew up in Allen Park...Go Jags

Right here on DH...go into the 40's group....we have alot of fun there and alot of great people! If you are one that must get out of the house and mingle then I recommend looking to see if you have a support group called "Parents without Partners" in your area....This group is alot of fun and they have all kinds of activities for the parents alone and events where everyone takes their children.
