Once DD goes back to school, i'm going for it

Have no idea where i'd even meet a man!

I'm almost 35, on a weight loss journey, not rich

Dunno what I even need help with but...

🙈🙉

I’m 35 and exactly the same - I lost 3 stone since having my daughter and I joined a gym and tried to love myself first and it really does work for confidence - you are worth love and commitment and deserve to be treated well so don’t settle for less!

Well done on the weight loss!

Have you started dating yet or preparing to?

Not sure whether to join Hinge 🤔 - i worry about my photos being mocked online

I was on my own for 7 years (no kids) and met DH on Match. I kinda feel like if they’re having to pay to be on there they’re not just looking for casual hookups which I think happens on a lot of the free dating sites.
Good luck and hopefully your mr right is out there.

Ahh comment hidden because I used the full address of Match

Agree with you re the free sites - will try match out!

Glad you met someone, hopefully i'll be as lucky!
