SingleMums.org overview:
Single Mums is a web community devoted to helping single mums get back in the dating game. Single Mums operates both UK and US sites, giving single parents on both sides of the pond an opportunity to find their perfect match. One of the best elements of Single Mums is that the site is not exclusively a dating community, but also a supportive community for single mothers – offering advice, help, tips and a social outlet all rolled into one! That said, and although the site is definitely not that expensive when compared to many other sites in the category, the fact that the community doesn’t seem as popular as many of the other sites we have reviewed as part of this category does put us off somewhat…
New members of Single Mums can create a profile as soon as they join the site and begin using the site’s features almost immediately. Users can add as many photos and as much information to their profile as they wish, in order to create a profile that reflects their personality and properly describes the sort of person they are trying to meet. New members can send an ‘ice-breaker’ message to all members in their area on joining the site, so as to help them find friends and potential dates in their local area. Finally, members can take advantage of a range of communicative tools, such as instant messaging, email and text alerts in order to get in touch with other members and take new relationships further.

All in all, Single Mums is a bit of a mixed bag – although the ‘community’ element of the site is refreshing and will no doubt appeal to many of our readers, the ‘dating’ side of the service is let down by the fact that the service as a whole isn’t as popular as it could be. As dating online is often viewed as a numbers game, we aren’t sure that this site has yet grown to such a size that its members have enough choice when it comes to checking out profiles of other members in their local area. While we would still recommend giving this site a go (if only to take advantage of some of the ‘community’ features on offer), we would suggest that our readers sign up to the free trial membership option (and give it a lengthy trial) before opting in to a subscription of any significant length. If Single Mums doesn’t turn out to be your thing, be sure to check out other sites in this category to find something that suits your needs perfectly!
To discover which dating site is best for you, try reading some more reviews and then join a few dating sites to see for yourself how they suit you. There are no limits to how many free sites you can join, except for the practical ones you impose on yourself, like how much time are you going to devote to searching, communicating and following up on leads that will come into your computer's e-mail inbox. We recommend signing up for free trials with at least two dating sites, in order to see how they compare.
