Single Moms: Ever Go to the Hardware Store to Meet Men?

Take a class in something that you actually like, but that also is maybe a bit non-traditional. You'll meet people there that share at least that one interest with you, and if it's a "quirky" thing, you'll know the other person may be quirky in the same way you were.

I met my husband of 14 years Scottish Country Dancing - neither of us are Scottish. And there have probably been at least 8 couples that have gotten married from meeting in this group!

Haha...I've been hit on in hardware stores! (I'm not a single mom, but I go alone.) I have seen lots of men in bookstores, coffee shops, driving range...

The gun range is a great place to meet guys.
Many of them are police officers.
If you want to meet men who have businesses/money, join your local chamber of commerce.
There you are likely to meet the hardware store owner and not just a bunch of hammer jockeys.

Um, no, but I have had several marriage proposals while picking up stuff to fix something. Apparently not many women know their way around the tool section. :) Granted I can build a house so I don't think I get the typical reaction.

I love the answer to find men doing things you like. I met my husband at a microbrewery. Funny thing was we both like craft beers but also have almost all the same hobbies. :)

Oh he can build a house too but didn't propose to me at Home Depot. :p

(Technically not a mom YET)
I like gardening supply stores, but I think I like book stores better because there are thousands of built in topics to discuss built into the surroundings with all the books, and if a guy loves books he has some kind of head on his shoulders, and they are not all geeks, there plenty of well read hunks.

The driving range and putting green at the golf course?

Call me crazy, but I'm thin king the place to find men is the place where men are engaged in activities you actually LIKE!

i don't see how it would be any different than meeting people anyplace else. oh and i do love a good handy man :)

but "most" of these guys are going to be men with wives, so tread carefully ;) good luck!

Divorce court LOL Well at least you know he's single or about to be

I've had two hardware store stalkers.
Seriously.
They were employees of the stores.
One of them lived around the corner from me with a woman and he insisted she was just his "roommate". Total creep. If I was out working in the yard, he would drive by and just park across the street and watch me until I went in the house.

The other one I literally hid from in the back room of a grocery store once because he was there while I was shopping. Another time, he followed me after I had picked my son up from school and tried to lose him, but he kept following me until I pulled into the police department parking lot.
He got fired from his job for doing the same thing to another lady and moved. Thankfully that solved that problem.

There might be lots of nice men at hardware stores, but I personally wouldn't want to try to find a husband there.

I have a friend who found her husband at an Oakland Raiders game. They are both Raiders fans and football fanatics so that worked out nicely for them.

My youngest still has another year and a half of high school so I don't really look for men. I need to finish raising my son first.
I don't really have any great suggestions other than trying to meet someone you share the same interests with.

Best wishes.

Sporting events too! Grab a girlfriend (not a big bunch, three at most I'd say) and go!

HA HAHHHA! I have noticed the many men (who know how to fix things) in hardware stores when I'm there after looking on ehow about how to fix something myself.....but alas, I'm not single. yet.

Grocery store at night.

McDonalds for breakfast. Lots of handsome young men in suits and ties waiting for their egg McMuffins.

Pick a part--the do it yourself junk car lots. The men are real men and are handy!

I'm not a single mom however I've met many men at hardware stores, and yes could've had affairs had I been so inclined. What usually prompted their attention was a sport jersey I had on or what type of hardware I was confidently shopping for at the time. I recommend meeting men anywhere public, don't hesitate to go up to someone you find attractive even at the grocery store, you never know what could happen.

When I was single I found that there were a lot of single men skiing and playing softball in teams. So if I were single, I'd probably try to figure out a nice ski trip and watch (or play) softball. (For my single male friends, I would suggest that they go to flea markets to meet single women).
