How to begin dating again after being a solo parent for a long time

'No more disaster dates, Tinder or Bumble. Someday, I hope for a meeting of minds, who knows, he may be around the next corner.'

Yvonne Reddin wonders where and how does she begin her quest to open the door to online dating.

For so long now I have been single and just keeping my head above water in terms of solo-parenting two small kids and one (now) adult child. (Yes, you still need to parent even when your child is an adult). 

But, dating is something I have thought about recently. I would love to meet someone who compliments me, is fun and doesn’t need mothering or constant encouragement to do simple daily things.
