Do you ever worry that you will be alone for the rest fo your life ??

[NuttyMuffins]

I do, seems to be a huge possibilty for me.

have been on me own with three kids and a dog for ages and thought the same. managed to nab meself a gf a while back tho and just about hanging on to her. am sure if i can do it theres hope for anyone

snow, go for it!

nutty , he is the sort of bloke you dont want, so sod him

A good friend of mine divorced about 3 yrs ago. Really bad split. She was extremely bitter, never smiled, looked ancient, swore up & down all men are arses, etc. Then, about 2 weeks ago, she met this guy at a party & it seems they've both been hit by the famous 'coup de foudre' (love at first sight). She told us all about last Saturday & she was actually blushing! She looks fantastic. Her hair is shiny, her skin is flawless but best of all, her happiness radiates from her like the sun. So there is hope!

Also, my nana was proposed to when she was in her 80s (Grandad had died several years earlier) & I actually caught her and her bf having a tongue sandwich on the sofa. They thought I was still in the loo - both were as deaf as posts by then.

Sauce: Oh that's so sweet for your nana! But I hope I don't have to wait till I'm 80 to get a tongue sarny! Lovely news for your friend. Hope it happens to me too but it ain't gonna happen if I stay in the house the whole time!! Gotta get a life....

Nutty: If a guy said that to me I'd bin him off straight away. If he can't cope with your kids then he can get lost. You're better off without him. My kids always come first.

feeling this way a lot lately, i really cant see myself meeting anyone ever again. i did have an offer from my friend's sleaze of an ex and it just made me feel worse - like thats all that is out there for someone like me.

allgonebellyup, that not all thats left for you Dont think like that, someone will come along when your least expect it.

And before you know it you will be moaning about the skidmarks in the bottom of the loo and the fact he sits picking him nose at the dinner table

i do feel lonely most of the time but am also weary about finding a man i would trust with dd it would be nice to wake up with someone by your side in the morning or just have someone to hug on the sofa on a night
im in manchester & all my mayes are in relationships there partners dont really like them going out with me cos im single i dont know why cos it doesnt matter who im out with i alway come home alone as wouldnt be so silly to bring someone where my dd is

I have recently, i think 6 weeks ago, split up and im feeling lonely, but happier? Very weird.

Know exactly how you feel mojosmum, would find it real hard to trust anyone with my dd.

Tbh am not sure where to start with the dating thing anymore.

Don't remember it being this hard!!

no dont think i know anymore how togo about dating i wouldnt want to go out ie fri/sat night looking for someone as i feel that when a man is p**sed then they are only looking for one thing if you know what i mean.

ive also noticed that women who treat men like sh*t always seem to have men flocking to them then someone like me who just wants to be loved [how sad do i sound] & i have a nice happy relationship get nothing

How long have you been single mojosmum?

Hi moonmum & welcome.

People pop in and out, you may not get a reply until next day or so on iyswim.

Am not exactly mn veteran myself, don't always post that often.

Where you from?

I thought that!!!! I have been split from hubby for a year, speaking to a few people online, nothing special. Then I got a chance email from a guy on Myspace, just friendly, commenting on my taste in music.

A week later we met up for a drink and we have been seeing each other for 6 weeks now. I never expected it, he is amazing and everything my ex isn't, he makes me feel wonderful.

It just shows you never know what's round the corner. Keep the faith!
