So Lonely...................

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...............

i know what you mean, someone to say how was your day, someone to give you a hug if you've had a bad day. Hugs is what I miss the most

i know how you feel to i dont need a man but it would be nice, even just to have the option, i was chatting to a bloke on the net and he asked me out then it got cancelled we txted a few more times then i txted him to say happy xmas and i havent heard from him again,

in have been feeling very upset over the xmas period probably becuse i have seen my ex so much more than usual(see my thread in relationships) who i would go back to like a flash given the chance, but i dont know if i want him or weather i just miss the family unit i so badly wanted, which has now been split up by him as he met someone else.

it can be very lonely and i am not surrounded by lots of friends , i am going to start salsa classes this year in the hope of meeting new people and socialising without my girls,

but as for where to met a man i havent a clue!!!

what dating sites have you tried?
