Being Single does not mean that you cannot have an active social life. Many singles feel that they have to be in a "relationship" to feel complete and secure. There has however been a shift in attitudes towards traditional dating, love and relationships.
With the ever increasing social networking sites, there are more opportunities to connect on a not so intimate level. Even singles that found it difficult to meet friends other than coworkers have found a more rewarding lifestyle due to the internet.
With sites like Meetup.com, there is the the freedom and ability to choose from an incredible array of groups and networking clubs to join and build friendships and contacts with. Meetup.com is probably my top pick for social networking and activities sites!
On Meetup.com you can also join anything from Kayaking to Buddhism groups. There is an endless supply of friends to choose from and one can never again complain about being lonely.
Other than networking, dating and activity sites, singles can often meet others at sports bars, gyms, and internet cafes. The internet cafes can be a fun place since many times you will see the same faces and can build a repore with the regulars. You might also gain some computer knowledge!
Yoga can provide some intereseting single friends. Normally, people are very friendly and relaxed there. It is also a great way to get your mind and body in shape for a potential relationhip down the road!
The key is to stay busy. I realize that in 2009 we face challenges unprecedented concerning the U.S. economy. It makes it more difficult to take time to relax and enjoy.

Single Parents
For a single parent, trying to balance love and kids can be rather challenging. The first priority of a parent should be and normally is the children. Desiring a full life that includes the companionship of a significant other requires motivation and real determination.
When the children are in grade school and early high school, they need more care and attention. As the start maturing and developing more social skills, time spent with the parents starts diminishing.
Parents start feeling a bit of loneliness and realize that they need to branch out and find the love and attention they have sacrificed for the time that was needed to devote to their children.
Dating becomes exciting and fresh again.Single parents start to develop relationships and feel more youthful again. Men and women becoming single again in their forties is becoming a common occurance.
Their becomes a fine line many times between finding that special someone and still giving your children the attention and supervision that they need and deserve. Some single parents completely forget their children are their top priority.
When looking for a date, it is certainly better to let your perspective partner know that you have children and they are most important thing to you. This will help alleviate future conflicts that could occur as you get to know him or her better!
