Has anyone else tried dating and faced a stream of near constant rejection? Trying to keep spirits up

[Overthinker89]

Hey lovelies, long story short a year after my LOs Dad and I broke up I am starting to thinking about dating again. Obviously my son (just shy of 2 yo) is my main priority and I will be careful about who I date in light of being a parent now. However the main issue I'm having is every single date I seem to arrange either ends up in the dates either not feeling a romantic spark towards me, cancelling dates or just losing interest. I know it's all part of the parcel but I'm really struggling to keep my self esteem up when it comes to dating. I know you shouldnt think like this but I'm starting to wonder why nobody seems to find me attractive anymore. Just looking for a little solidarity and stories of hope after the pain of the series of rejections dating sometimes entails. Anyone been there?x

i am sure people find you attractive but many single men are not keen to get involved with someone with a baby or toddler I think but prefer a more care free start of things

maybe date men who also have young kids so they know what it entails?

Hello, I just wanted to give some solidarity. Been single for years, and I don’t have a child, and yes. It is a stream of constant rejection and disappointment. Completely ruined my self esteem. When it’s getting a bit much, I just take a break and try and forget about it.

So I don’t have any advice, but what I will say is, it’s definitely not you. Best wishes 💐

Just to give you some hope as well, many dates I’ve been on just had no spark/ no romantic attraction. They weren’t dickheads or horrible or anything, just wasn’t anything there.
So I know people say that dating atm is full of assholes, but I genuinely haven’t found that.
