It’s the age old tale, boy meets girl, they fall in love and get married, have a couple of kids, get divorced and move on with other people. Okay, okay, that isn’t really the way we were told things would go, but the reality is, that’s the way things went for many of us. None […]

The post Single Mom Dating Frustrations: 6 Steps to Getting Your Heart and Mind Ready for Love appeared first on Rich Single Momma.
It’s been seven years since my divorce and occasionally I think I’m ready for a new relationship. The problem is I am something of a home body and don’t really like the thought of going “out”. It’s time consuming, expensive, and way outside of my comfort zone.
My daughter thinks I should get out and meet people. I suppose I should be but it all feels too hard for me. I’d rather be behind my computer creating something wonderful for you!
The loneliness begins to take a toll after a while though so what’s an attractive, smart, and slightly bitchy assertive woman like me to do?
I’ll tell you.
A few years ago I discovered dating sites. It was almost like discovering fire!
I was initially turned off because of the horror stories I heard.
But as the years went by I began hearing (and meeting) people who were actually meeting and marrying people they met online. Just the other day I met a lady who met her husband online so there are a few success stories.
I began to experiment with the idea then got the nerve up to actually join a site, write my profile, and post a picture. I waited and sure enough I began to get messages. The problem was I couldn’t read them because I had to become a full member first.
I tried a few different sites and learned a lot of lessons in the process. With my budget at the time, I needed to find free dating sites. It was risky but I had to go through trial by fire if I wanted to meet someone.
I have found that the following free dating sites work pretty well:
Pros
Cons
OK Cupid
DateHookup.com App
Tinder
Zoosk
In part two I’ll discuss Online Dating Strategies that Works (for me at least )
