Why Can't I Meet Women?

By Kathy Belge, About.com

Question: Why Can't I Meet Women?

I am a single, attractive, college educated, literate, well-spoken women. I can't get a date. Sometimes I wonder perhaps, am I too ambivalent, or does the whole single mother of quadruplets throws them for a loop? What do you think? I have profiles on the usual suspects.

Answer: Wow, quadruplets! How do you have time to date?

Just wondering if you say that on your profile. It actually could be scaring some women off before they even get a chance to meet you.

I would suggest that the best place to meet other women is at lesbian moms groups. At least there you know you're going to meet other women who are interested in being parents. If you don't meet a potential partner, you can at least make friends who are also moms who may introduce you to single friends. (And maybe even babysit while you do go on that date!)

Write a Winning Online Profile

Also, I don't know what your profile says. Check out these tips for writing a winning online profile. Have a friend take a look at your profile and see if she can give advice on how to spice it up a little.

And here are some dating tips for lesbian moms.

Sometimes giving off the vibe that you're desperate to meet someone can scare people off. Ask a good friend, one that you trust to be honest with you, if you seem too eager to meet someone and settle down. Remember the goal of dating may be to meet a life partner in the long run, but the more immediate purpose is to meet women and have fun.
