This guest post was written by Allen Sircy for Single Pittsburgh.  Allen contacted me awhile ago and indicated that his service could save single working moms time and help them have more fun.  It goes without saying that working moms are busy.  Indeed, it can zap all of your time and when you’re doing it solo, it can be hard to find time for romance.  Based on my own experience, meeting dateable men can be especially hard in Pittsburgh.  For that reason, I decided to let Allen write a piece to share the service with you.  Here you go!

Single Pittsburgh

Now that school is starting back up and the summer is winding down it's going to be harder to find time to get out on Friday night with the girls. Let's face it, it's fun to get out and have a night out on the town but after working all week and having to get the kids ready for a trip to your parents or the babysitters it's almost more trouble than it's worth. 

But what can you do if you want to get out and meet a guy? Online dating is the way to go nowadays. Everyone has a smartphone or a computer and approximately 1/3 of all marriages now are from a dating site.

Match.com has been around since the 90s and is probably the most popular site in the country. There are a lot of singles to choose from but given it's popularity women often find their mailboxes overflowing from men from all over the United States. That's where Single Pittsburgh comes in. SinglePittsburgh.com limits their members to a 70 mile radius of the city. With this feature members won't get messages from guys in New York or Miami.
