I think the older you get women aren't as put off by children, people in their early twenties like me though. Near impossible lol. I don't date. My parents divorced at a young age though and honestly dating for them was pretty easy. I think the fact that one had me one week and the other had me the next helped out a lot. All I can really say is when you get into the whole dating thing let them know you're a mom. Easiest thing you can do. The very few times I have dated I have been very open about being a mom, I'm open about being a lesbian too... Now I mean. Online dating is big now though, not 100% the safest thing but nothing is really 100% safe anymore. The biggest thing to worry about would be bringing the person you are seeing into your child or children's lives too soon.
