If its just been a short time since your divorce then you should not even be thinking of dating.

I think you should concentrate on making friends and not dating. As you can probably see on this board, it's hard enough to get a date, harder still if you are a single mom, but I just would think it would be very weird for a guy to date a woman who was pregnant w/ someone else's child. When I got div the first time, my kids were 7 & 1--I figured if I was ever out w/ the kids, I would have no chance to meet a guy because my DS was so young, so they would probably assume I was married. As it happened I didn't date for about 3 yrs, til the kids were older.

I would suggest trying to do things to meet new people. I don't know if you have a job. Does your church have any groups for people to get together? You could check out things to do in your town--even a story hour at the library might help you to meet other mothers. Or there are places to find social groups in different areas, like meetup.com.
