I am very aware that when I used to be considered pretty, if not occassionally beautiful, I now look very careworn after having dd at 18, being an sp ever since, nursing my mother through leukaemia until she died and working serious hours. As I was pretty I never really learnt any man-snaring skills, as I didn't need to, but now I do, but as I haven't learnt any I don't know where to start. All the girls around me have dewy complexions, beautiful hair and make up and gorgeous clothes, and I am the one that walks in with my head down and walks out again unnoticed. I am no longer pretty, but due to nearly 5 years of bob the builder and jolly phonics I find it very hard to connect with those around me, as they are not in my environment, and the men that are are married, so off my radar anyway. Will I ever find someone? Or will I have to wait ten years until they are all married, then divorced, so I even up with all the other women in the haggard looks department and have things in common with the men, i.e. Bob the Builder? However, then dd will be 15, so I'll be on a different planet yet again! I am so worried that I will always be alone. Please tell me I won't!
