I would sell my soul to be able to fall asleep in a man's arms

[MrsMorgan]

Sad but true

I understand. It can be very lonely being on your own sometimes and the thought of just lying back, being held and cherished is a very appealing one.

I feel like this sometimes too. Any possibilty of meeting someone? If not just for a little fling? I went out on a last minute whim the other night and very unexpectedly met a friend of a friend. We went for a date last night. I have no genuine expectations but it might be fun to get a snog and a cuddle for a bit.

Dating websites are a great way of meeting people too and you can be totally honest about what you can offer in your profile. Prospective dates can see you have kids and avoid if they're not up to it...

There's got to be a load of single dads feeling just the same as you.

Well I don't get out much. My xp has just stopped having the dc overnight so not much chance of getting out to meet anyone.

I did have a fling not long ago but I wanted it more than him so it knocked me about a bit.

Then there was a bloke that liked drink more than me lol.

Oh and i don't do very well on dating sites either tbh.

It must be something I am doing, but I have no idea what it is.

steady on!!

i'm a single dad and have no desire to fall asleep in a mans arms!...

tho yes mrs m - i know the feeling well.

Lol james, well you never know how desperate you might get

I have just had one too many glasses of wine, it happens frequently, ignore me.

two words to cheer you up mrs m
Flatulent
Snore

Me too - been alone for so damn long and can't remember the last time I didn't sleep alone.

I keep hoping, but I just get older and the chances of my hopes becoming reality seem ever more distant.

which part of the country are you MrsM?

He he, jamestkirk - very funny!

there you go, offers flooding in lol

LOL the snoring I would put up with temporarily.

I am in the west mids

I hopefully start a new job soon, so fingers crossed that I might finally meet new people. I don't mean men, just that I might get a social life.

I agree :-)

My friend said to me the more sex you get the more you want it... well I agree... I'm not that bothered about the sex now days but a cuddle and a strong arm to sleep in for a time would be lovely!

Chin up hun our time will come :-) x

P.s. so with ya with the glass of wine right now :P x

Thanks pink, and yes you are so right. I went 4 years with nothing, and then as soon as I got the slightest bit of interest I wanted it all the more.

hey well - good luck with the job prospects!!

no chance of me meeting anyone thru work - i'm with a large company but a sort of 'secret' employee - a bit odd i know - tho it means i wont be getting an invite to the christmas party as no one knows i'm there lol!

Lol that sounds very odd james

do you wear a big red suit and hat james

no - i'm not santa

your foto looks very familiar.

are you a mumsnetter with a new name?

I wont out you!!

foto? you have pics??

click on her name James - she is beautiful.

yes come on lets matchmak mrs and the saint

He sounds up for it.

Mrs, it is usually men's (and women's) 6th sense sensing the slight desperation that scuppers things so new job will distract you and you won't subconsciously give off any "i neeeeed to fall asleep in someone's arms" vibes

didnt know about that

hi mrs m and collision is right - you are beautiful

Having suitably reflected on the being alone for 10 years I have decided that I should really make the decision to concentrate on work, become celebate, and give up on any thoughts of a the life I want to lead... easier said than done and this will be xxth attempt... help me someone!

ooh yes!

First of all James we need a photo of you and we need to know your likes and dislikes and a little background info on yourself.

We also need to know why you are a secret employee for a company....

Are you a mystery shopper or a spy??

OI!!!!! MRS MORGAN!! GET YOUR BUM BACK OVER HERE!!!

without!!

dont do that! youd only get bored - is better to live in hope - always!
