If you’re a single mom, dating while mothering probably seems about as easy changing your tampon while rollerskating. But if you want love — and who doesn’t? — you need to get back out in the dating world sooner or later.

“You’re only getting older and uglier … might as well get out there now!” is what Trish Sammer used to tell herself when she was feeling reluctant about online dating as a single mom in her late 30s and then early 40s.

Here, in this irreverent guide to online dating for single moms, Sammer delivers the pep talk of the century for women who are scared to get back into the dating world. Then, she follows it up with real-world advice on everything from how to set up an online dating profile to how to get in the right mindset to find the love of your life.

You’re Only Getting Older and Uglier is your laugh-out-loud, straight-talk guide to finding the love you deserve.
