It's not easy, and there is no perfect answer either.
You have taken the first step, allowing yourself to find someone.
When talking to a women, be yourself, and don't put on airs, or those use stupid pick lines or cliches. BE YOURSELF. First just say hello... it's that simple. Make eye contact.
From there it's up to you and the lady. I'm no expert, but "hello" and eye contact means a lot to me.
Welcome, you seem new here.
It's really hard to meet new people, especially as you get older.
It's not like it was in high school.
You've done well to try using this method.
It's great to build confidence. Sometimes, just talking to other people will help you move on to the next step of finding someone to be yourself with.
Hope you have the time to check out the rest of the forums, post comments, and just be heard.
Whatever you do, good luck to you.

you'll be fine, just be yourself. and a smile does wonders. the rest will follow.
just chatting with people and participating in the forums does alot to get you back into the loop, and it kind of carries over into your own life.
good luck

Its not easy ..just take it slow make friends first and take it from there .... once girls get to no you they will see who and what you stand for ..... just dont be in a rush and go with the flow...... I have been a single mum for a long while and it is harder but a person will find you when you least expect it ..

... There are a few parents on here with one or more children with special needs. In their cases, they are having a harder time because of the toll, and time it takes to look after them.JMO, sometimes there seems to be more single parents with kids, than there are singles with no kids.
Everyone here has given great advise. Most important one,... be yourself Hunter. It will happen when it's supposed to.
Thank you all very much and have a great day. Thanks again
Hey Dude, hang in there. Take solace in the fact that your are THERE for your kids. And many women are in a similar boat.
And I know the limitations of being in a small town, too.
Just hang in there, and above all: NOTHING turns a woman off faster than a guy who appears/comes across as needy, so don't be "that"
Take your time, raise your kids, and be patient.

thank bud have a good night. I am from Northbat sask but not been there in a long time
First and foremost, I want to congratulate you on being a Single DAD raising 4 children. I Know it is not easy.
Dating,/ Finding someone to Share your experiences with.
Be Yourself, Open Honest, Communication is the key to happiness,
Find some women who want to be Friends and start there, Its not easy to open up to strangers, however they won't be strangers if you say hello.
Best of luck to you HUNTER,
A Father first and foremost Always.

Congratulations on being a single dad! Enjoy your kids, and as time goes along, you will find that people will start coming into your life. Get involved in the kids activities and social events if you can, these things tend to open up your own social circle. Good luck.
Hunter.... enjoy your time with the young children, they grow up fast, get to know people in all the forums,make people laugh, and have fun, the rest will come into the picture,i have been a widow for 6 yrs, i'm still waiting,but won't settle for less than i deserve, hang on there!!!
I hear and feel for you Hunter,
Been 18 years for me and but I have 2 awesome boys that don't live with me.
But how do you start over?
Yeah I got the one day at a time thing and all that and staying myself. But To actually go back into the "real world" and get your feet wet again and begin anew..
Like you I thought I would try the online scene,
But
I don't even know where to start hehe
So thank you for this post hehe,
*Sits by with bowl of Popcorn and waits to see....*
Anyone want?

Good luck. Think that's what we all want. Hoping that someday we all will find it. Till then hang in there. Come visit us lifers on here when you're feeling lonely. 
We're usually around. I think you are a brave man, to care for four children! Im sure that you will eventually meet someone, just hang in there, as my Dad used to say, "you never know whats right around the corner" You sound like a nice person... and what the heck you may meet someone who wants to have children in thier lives.. what would the world be without them? good luck to you
