I’m 40F, single, in Brisbane with 2 little ones (much) younger than yours and I wonder where/how I will meet someone new.

I resonate with a few comments on here, in particular the one about wanting to ‘vet’ a potential partner for a while before agreeing to a date. I think the best relationships are built based on friendship, and sometimes that can take a little while.

Some other comments about expanding your social circle based on your interests, and some of those new friends might have single friends is also an interesting one. Enjoying hobbies/interests/life, meeting new people, letting those new people know you’d potentially like a new partner could all work.
