Where can I meet a decent guy?

Hiya,
I'm a 27 year old single mother, and I'm just so fed up with being single!
I dont work, all my friends are married with kids, and I just dont seem to meet men in my everyday life. I don't drink, and maybe get a night out every couple of months.
I have tried internet dating for 2 years and I just think its not worth it. I'm very attractive but seem to get the wrong type of attraction!
Any ideas????

Aw, I did internet dating and found my right one after 3 months; I know what you mean about the wrong sort of attention.
Have you tried different sites; some attract a different type of person.....if you know what I mean.0 -
I too found my BF on the internet. We chatted for a few weeks before meeting and it was love at first sight for us both.
Almost a year on, we've lived together for over 6 months and are now looking for a house to buy (viewing on Tuesday). I met a lot of frogs before I met my prince, and although I had almost given up, we're both very grateful that we gave the internet a chance.
There are a lot of good internet dating sites, but of course you hear of horror stories too.
My suggestion would be to stop looking. You always find something when you're not looking for it anymore!
Good luck hun, I wish you all the best!Yaaay, I finally conned a man into making a honest woman of me. Even more shocking is that I can put the words "Happily" and "Married" into the same sentence and not have life insurance on my mind when I say it ;-)0 -
Get a part time job - loads of people meet their OH at work, or through work.
It also gives you acess to colleagues single mates etc.
It would also get you out of the house more - going out once every couple of months is not likely to help you meet Mr Right, is it?
Saying 'I'm very attractive' is perhaps off-putting - an unemployed single mother who only goes out once in two months is not perhaps as 'attractive' to blokes as you might think....if you're not actually 'attracting' anyone but think you're gorgeous, then in all honesty maybe you need to take a look at what's putting people off.

I also thought exactly this.0 -

I also agree with this. I met my DH while I was working;)
Don't look for a mate in pubs/clubs you will only probably find p1ssheads after one night stands.
I would steer clear of the internet too.0 -

So are you saying that she can't possibly be attractive just because she's not got a job and puts looking after her kids before going out?
Get a grip! Whats wrong with someone who has the self confidence to think they are attractive?0
