Guest blogger Rachel Sarah: If you're a single mom, here's why you should log on and give love a chance.

Valentine's Day is over (phew!) ... now it's time for single moms to give romance a try. Need convincing?

If You're a Single Mom ... Here are the Top 10 Reasons to Try Online Dating:

1. Because writing a profile is fun ... and it's all about YOU for a change.

2. Because it's like riding a bicycle again for the first time in years: you just need a little practice.

3. Because we all know someone who fell in love online.

4. Because your girlfriends will come over for a glass of wine and help you think of a unique headline.

Some of my favorites: "Sick of Playing Solitaire," "Approach Love & Cooking With Reckless Abandon," "Looking for the Calvin to my Hobbes." I even asked my webmaster what headline he uses: "I'm a Big Nerd, Don't Click Me!"

5. Because you get to have some photos taken -- without your kids making rabbit ears over your head.

6. Because someone out there is ready to appreciate bedtime story skills.

7. Because you'll get some adults-only time without having to refill sippy cups or wipe up spills.

8. Because we all deserve the chance to flirt once in a while.

9. Because you just can't beat "the shop-at-home convenience."

10. Because you just might get to third base for the first time in _________??

What do YOU think of online dating, single moms?

I loved online dating. I’m not good at social things, knowing if a guy is interested. Online I had a chance to put my best face forward to connect with the right guys. I never had so much fun dating. Anyway, that’s how I found my prince charming; we married almost four years ago. In real life, I probably would have overlooked him.

Not too sure how I feel about this “online dating” thing…My mom met my step-dad through a dating website…but the fact that ANYBODY could get on there, pretend they are “prince charming” and weasel a date outta me kinda creeps me out…I might meander to a site just to check it out!?..One of those free trial deals!? …oo I think I have a new blog topic! :o)
