There is a science to this Tristan, I keep mentioning this, you need to start doing some research on this, knowledge is power.
What would you suggest that I read? Is there much I can do about it?
Dating? I can't do it. I would be a horrible date right now anyway. However, I have looked into some single parent groups. They take the kids to different events together. It would be a good way to meet new people and take care of the girls at the same time. Seems like a reasonable way to GAL to me.
