Dating and being single mum

[kmom]

Is this a problem ? I would like to find out, is it just me or am I afraid of meeting new people,or is it that I have not spoken to another man since my DD was born, now 22month old,and not spoken to another bloke since, He ran for the hills.

Ok My DD Was born 15/04/08/ I have not spoken to another bloke since,,,, I found out I was pregnant September 07 never told the Dad, and don't want to..... Now DD is 22 months old .I would like to have a friendship male or female,

It all depends on a few things:

Age
Attitude
Situation

Age. Well if you are younger (say < 30) then a lot of your peers will be out larging it up every weekend so a lot of blokes (and girlies) will not like to get involved with a single parent because of the complexities of arranging sitters, can't just go out on a whim.

Attitude. If you are one of those people who don't want to introduce anyone to your child until x months has passed then this makes things harder as opportunities to meet are limited. Also if you are of the mindset that all people on dating sites are potential axe murderer's then thats not going to help much either. Bars & clubs are fine if you are going every week and young/free & pretty. But when you are sat at home night after night, dating sites can be a lifeline to the dating world.

Situation. If you have few friends/family who can help you out by babysitting then obviously that's going to dent your chances too.

My point is, two of those things you might be able to change. Age, well...no-one can change that. If you are young then its just a case of keep trying until you find someone. If you are older then its not as big an issue. In fact I'd be suspicious if I met a woman in her mid thirties with no "baggage". WTF has she been doing all these years!
