SingleParentMeet.com & SingleParentsMingle.com; first you've got to impress your date – then your date's kids.  Chemistry.com; uses an eHarmony-style compatibility test – rejection can take weeks instead of minutes. SpiritSingles.com; new-age site where spiritual integrity trumps the shallow pursuit for hot babes. Riiigghhht.
