I feel guilty - I have my health, my family and I have wonderful children who I love with all my heart, but there is a huge void in my life.
I don't need a man but I really want one - I feel so depressed and lonely and just want someone to snuggle up to and just feel loved.
I've been on my own two years now, still get crap from the ex who depresses me even more!
Been on a few dates recently who I met off the net - they just seem to be a bunch of weirdos or liars! A couple didn't look like their photos/had let themselves go and although nice to talk to there was nothing else - no chemistry etc. Had one turn nasty and call me all the names under the sun because I wouldn't have sex with him and another turn nasty because I wouldn't go out with him - now I'm beginning to think I'm those horrible things my ex and these men have been calling me! I'm trying to rebuild my life since the ex left but just seem to get knocked back down by idiots. I just want to meet someone decent! - How do I do it? It's hard to get out because I'm a single parent now and don't like to abuse my family for babysitting, so thought the internet may be one of the ways to meet people. I have made some nice male friends to chat to but the others seem to lose interest if you don't start 'cybersex' with them! Or some contact you, you reply and they don't bother any more - what's the point of that?!
Just so fed up with this dating lark! Feel like giving up totally but where's that going to get me?
My eldest keeps asking when we are going to have a 'new' daddy - one that lives with us, so I feel really pressured there too - she obviously wants male company as well.
I don't want to be on my own anymore. Sorry for feeling so depressed...............
