I’ve been a single mum for 7 years now, I haven’t even so much as looked at a man in that time I have just concentrated on my children and had no interest in meeting someone else.
Recently I’ve started thinking about what it would be like to have a partner again, and I guess the loneliness I didn’t realise I had came out and made me think I do actually want another relationship after all.
My issue is that I don’t go anywhere so meeting someone is impossible, I have no family or babysitters and my children’s dad is unreliable so I couldn’t ask him. Online dating isn’t for me, my best friend signed me up and the whole week was filled with unappealing photos and sex pests sent my way 
I have no idea how I would meet anyone. The thought of being single forever scares me when it used to make me feel free and content after my ex left.
I’ve never been in love before so I guess part of that is making me feel regret/wasted time/wishing I had what a lot of other women had and not being able to. I’d love to settle down again and have a ‘proper family’ with maybe more children, but time is ticking now I’m mid 30s and it doesn’t feel like it’ll ever happen.
It’s more of a rant than anything as I know no one can tell me what to do about it, but if there are any positive stories or tips that might send some hope my way id appreciate it
