To think that men have no idea what it is like to be a new mum?

My date says he can't believe I havn't dated for two years.
Er... because I was pregnant and then had a tiny baby and toddler to look after. I didn't have time for anyone apart from dd and me. I enjoyed it and could handle celibacy because breastfeeding killed my sex drive anyway. I really wanted to establish myself as a mum before jumping on the next relationship bandwagon.

Can men not live that long without a relationship and/or sex?

I mean he's a single dad. Was there for the first two years.Surely he realises how tough the early years are?

He sounds so lovely but why I am annoyed by his statement? Oversensitive methinks.

I think he was just teasing. I thought about it last night and realised he was. I'm just a bit cautious and I didn't want to make the same mistakes.
I have no matching undies! Shock
I have nice undies but no matching. I shouldn't sleep with him straight away anyway should I?

You could always go commando? Wink Grin

Seriously, just see how it goes, try not to read too much into innocent conversation.

Have fun.

You are REALLY overthinking this. If it's still at the stage of polite chit chat online before you meet him, then he is definitely just trying to be nice and pay you a compliment!

Stop trying to undo it before you need to!

..and women have no idea how it feels to be kicked square in the balls.

Probably best to not worry about it, really.
