Start by looking in the right places.  Determine the kind of person you want, and go where he is.  If you want a drunk, go to a bar  If you want a jock, go to a health club.  If you want a person of faith, go to a church or join a coven of pagans.  Get involved in a political campaign, even a republican one if you have to.  Go back to school. You have to give yourself the opportunity to meet new people first.  The second part is simple.  Relax and be yourself.  Stop looking and start having fun.  People are attracted to happy, fun people who enjoy life.

I don't think it would be hard unless there is something missing - like personality, money, availability.  Have you spent time improving your personality in a way to attract another adult?  Or do you do nothing but talk about your child?  Do you have interests such as sports, movies, travel, community? Do you have a career that will offer something to a future mate? Do you have any hobbies that you could introduce a date to?  \n\nIt isn't about being a single dad - it's the other things that will help you win or lose a woman.  Be interesting and interested in life, yourself, and other people, and you'll attract someone looking for a happy future together.

You sound like you may still be quite young.  If you are, take your time.  Try to relax and enjoy the friends you have.\n\nI think love is hard to find because you are looking for it.  If you don't look so hard, chances are that love will find you.

It sounds like you need grief counseling. You can contact your local mental health facility and they will be able to help you. You obviously aren't ready to be intimate with anybody yet. You can never replace the one you lost but in time, you will be able to move forward and open your heart to someone new. In the meantime, I hope you are using condoms and birth control. Your child has had a significant loss too and needs you healthy.

Sweetheart, there is nothing you can do to find love. It will find you and then you won't know how else you lived without it. If you try to find love you could totally miss it cause you were busy looking for it. Be patient.

When it is meant to happen it will. I never thought I would find anyone. When I stopped looking and decided that I didn't need a man to be happy. That is when I met him. I was a single mom of 3 in my late 20's when it happened. GOOD LUCK!!

try your nearest library or bookstore if you like to read too, and just plainly start up a conversation that makes sense to the one person that grabs your attention. or similarly, wherever you like to hang out. That's what a guyd would do, and if you think that is courageous, pls, you are already a single mom, what could be more courageous already! think about it, you are strong woman and can do this on your own too if you had to, just be selective and go sensible about it. rejection is no big deal, not interested is no big deal, chance to make "just friends" a real plus, chance to find that good man, well hey, that's BINGO

When the time is right you'll find the perfect person for you and your son. In the mean time just take time and enjoy your son. He'll only be little for a while and when you least expect it love will find you. Good luck with everything

I am 35 and it isn't so bad.. you can do whatever whenever... i know sometimes missing that special someone next to you at night sucks.. been there and doing that!! but it will come and love will fall on you when you aren't looking. just be yourself and enjoy life... if you walk with your shoulders held high and with confidence you will be noticed and let the good times roll... there is no hurry to find love it will find you!!! good luck...

there is hope i am a 27 year single mom who until a year and a half ago was  raising two boys by myself .then i met and fell for a guy who is the best thing to happen to me and my boys.in the last year and half he has treated my boys better then their own father.sometimes these guys are harder to find then most but don't give up. and never let anyone say your children are baggage they are bonuses to any relationship.some guys are just not mature enough to realize it.

When you are dealing with loneliness..read a book, watch tv, listen to music, or watch movies. \nI know its hard being single, but you dont need a man to be happy! \nYou probably do have so much to give, but take your time you have a life ahead of you. Right now worry about yourself. Make life plans. Write out pros and cons of having a relationship, make out a list of what qualities you are looking for in a guy. But, don't rush into anything if you aren't ready for it. A relationship is a major thing, cause you have to deal with both your life and be in his life at the same time. Please take it from someone who knows, I finally found someone to be with and I'm happily engaged, it took 5 years, but I waited and I found the man of my dreams!

NO sorry I can't you need to just give yourself time and one day your sole mate will come along and you will realize that the one who you thought broke your heart didn't even have it to break! You will look back down the road of your life and see that everyone in your life had some part they played to get you to your soul mate! All the girls or ladies in you past was just detours and and have to find you way back to the main road of your life to find your soul mate!
