So most of you know my crappy situation with DP, I have to finish it but I dont want to be alone/with losers for ever Sad seriously what are the chances of me finding a normal nice bloke? am I kidding myself? I'm 25 and have 2 kids (by the same father) am I kidding myself thinking that a nice man might be out there for us?

Hun, you won't be alone for ever but you need to look within yourself first and foremost and start loving your own self for a change.

We learn about relationships first and foremost from our parents. What did they teach you?. You don't have to answer that by the way.

With regards to my first paragraph I think some counselling sessions to work on your own self esteem and worth will do you a lot of good. Building up your own self worth and image will go some way to protect you from the "bad news" guys.

Consider also doing something outside your normal sphere - a day release course at college or visiting the community centre or library to see what's on for example. Whilst romance may not actually follow on from such things it will give you an opportunity to try new things and to meet new people whom you otherwise would not have met.

You're 25 (and therefore younger than me:))- there's still a lot of life left in you yet and you have a lot to offer the right person. The man you are currently with does not deserve you in any way, shape or form.

Hi I've neverposted on your threads before as I didn't have anything different to say fromthe others.
I understand how you are scared of being alone, but being with this loser has obv destroyed your sense of worth, but you and your kids deserve and can get much better.
single mums with two kids do find people good men, fact is if a man is worth his weight and truly likes you he wont care that you have 2 kids already. in fact he will want to get to know them.
please end it with the guy (child) you are with,
you would be somuch better off without him,
do you have mates you can chat to about it?
that can support oyu?

hun i have no idea of your story so far, just wanted to say that i am 25 with two children by the same dad....exactly the same as you.

i deseratly want to get out there and prove i am still the same old Fattie that i was before the kids and the arse hole of an XP but at the same time i am absolutly terrified. i have no idea where to go to meet new people, how to talk to them or how indeed to flirt with people now.

i was a teenager when i last had to deal with the opposite sex and its all a bit frigtening now. i mean back when iw as out there you just looked bambi eyed over the top of your bacardi breezer at the lad that caught your eye, i have no idea what Adults do on dates!

what i will say though is that if you feel like this (as i do) then its probably not quite the right time for us to be getting out there just yet. i think that we will know when our time is right and someome lovely and fantastic will come along and show us what we have been missing

.or atleast that is what i tel myself and i am forcing myself to believe it! Grin
