Guys are attracted to confidence. So if you're confident with your body and with yourself, it'll be fine. Men are actually far more forgiving about things that it seems. We like a confident woman. That's sexy! So be yourself. He has to worry about whether your kids will like him! So he's in the same sort of situation! Relax and have fun. x

Awww... Sweetie, all I say is go out there and be yourself. Show confidence in the way you look, too bad if after having kids some bits have gone 'south' - love yourself and people will love you.
As Rythmandblues2 says, let him worry about whether he is good enough for you and your kids!!!

Think about the poor guys who have to work alot harder to get a date! Odds are good that your biggest problem will be wading through the guys! Just be yourself, and be confident... that's the sexyist thing out there. For me, it's about personality, a woman's brain, character... looks are important, but so is the fact that a woman is taking reasonable care of herself. When I was dating (at the same age as you) the thing I was looking for was sanity, someone who could carry on a good conversation, someone who liked themselves enough to make an effort. Since all my freinds wives were similar to the way you decribed yourself, I simply ASSUMED that the dating pool was full of 30 something single moms! Guess what? I was right! If guys judge you soley on your looks, keep looking...

Carry yourself as though you are a lovely, desirable, gorgeous woman. No slouching shoulders, good posture, head up. You are so worth it. He'd be lucky to have you as a girlfriend, should be honored to have you as a date. You are a treasure, a prize, you deserve the best. Okay? Got it? Check back if you need the ego support.
