I don’t think I’m ever going to meet someone

[ChaChaChaCh4nges]

I’m a single parent and I work full time in a high profile, stressful job. And I’m never going to meet anyone because every time I start talking to someone they’re put off by the DC or my job. I’m alone on Friday night and so lonely.

Choccy I have never done it myself, out of concern for the awkwardness factor. I just asked Mr. Google about it because OP inquired if it was still done.

Did you get to find out anything about the men beforehand or was it all supposed to come out in the 5 minutes you had? At least they couldn't add 4 inches to their height they way they tend to on line.

I generally do not lack confidence.

I feel your pain. I met someone on a very rare night out a month ago- talk on phone at least twice a day, been for drinks several times, REALLY get on well and I realllllly fancy him.
Last nights bomb shell: he's married!!!!
Obviously that's the end of that!

This is the 5th secretly married wanker that I've encountered. What is wrong with them?!

I never go anywhere to meet men, I work in a female dominated workplace and I'm a single mum.

I'm so lonely.

missconduct no we knew nothing at all. Was all introduced at the table when swapping. I literally spoke a load of rubbish to try fill the silence! There was one guy who I would say was my type but he spoke about sex which put me off instantly!

I posted on here recently about same thing. Women don’t seem to mind if man has kids and like if got good job. It seems that it can be seen as competition to a man - unless they too have kids. Plus it seems impossible after aged 35 to go out with own age group it’s got to be a decade older!
Either get online dating but really make a go of it - my friend does this has time put aside for dates when kids with their dad. Or - my option! - concentrate on kids, job and yourself and when free time see friends and think about men in a few years time - maybe when in secondary?
I’ve really enjoyed spending more time with friends and having a night in by myself and when did have a boyfriend yes was good having someone to go to cinema or dinner with but it was exhausting too!
