I am a single parent since befrore my dd2 was born 4 1/2years ago. In that time I have had not even a kiss. I have started to have feelings for somone I work with.As far as I know he is single, we get on very well and are quite flirty.
BUT I don't think a relationship with him would work (like the sex idea tho' ).
Can someone tell me what to do

rickman, we'l meet someone in the end when were about 70! i see these elderly couples walking about hand in hand after 50 odd years of marriage and feel quite jealous

only problem with texting is that you sit there waiting for it bloody beep to get the reply and if you dont get one, you think 'right well thats it then, ive made myself look like a right plonka' when actually its prob just that hes gone out and left his phone indoors or fell asleep infront of the tv.

im reminiscing now about my dating days about 6years ago

sorry rickman!im being dumb tonight!i never go out! my mum wont have ds till he sleeps a bit better at night, as in perhaps only waking once or twice at night instead of about 10 times!

hes been a lot better over the last 2weeks so i could mention it to mother AGAIN!

could always go to a family pub that has hunks in it, im sure we'd do well on the pulling front with our kids running around and saying 'i want pop' 'i wana go in the garden' 'i wana go pee'

very blunt isnt it ! oh well at least you know that if he didnt reply by sunday night , youd know to not look him in the eye at work. chances are if that did happen and you then ignored him he'd come running after you anyway
