28 with 2 DC of (nearly) 6 years and 19 months old. Have been single since early pregnancy with youngest DC. The children have no contact with their father so are with me full time, although I have a very supportive family. My mum takes the kids one day a week so I can have a break (very lucky, I know) and today she suggested that maybe I would like to start dating again soon. To be honest, I have been thinking myself that it would be nice to have a bit of adult company sometimes. I went through a really rough patch last year and I'm doing lots better now, emotionally, physically and financially. My self esteem is still quite low, although I am working on that. I'm wondering if dating might give me that little confidence boost I need, even if it leads to nothing serious. How do you know you're ready to date again?
