I'm a single mum of 2 (5&7), have an abusive ex husband and court orders etc.
So, I decided to try online dating. Met a handful of guys. Never even kissed anyone, no second dates until I met this one guy, and I was very nervous when I met him because through the chatting online he seemed really nice.
Multiple dates, stayed at his, he stayed at mine (while kids are away) and I really like him.
I really do like him.
He seems very keen and into me. We have a great time together, dates last for hours and hours without us realising.
He texts quite a lot, he arranges the next date at the end of each one. The sex is mind blowing. He's so nice, gentle, tender but manly and chivalrous with it. He doesn't have kids, he wants kids.
He admitted that me having kids is a bit intimidating as he has no experience of kids at all. But he isn't scared off.
I have terrible self esteem, but he seems very into me. He travels for work quite a lot, and he always makes a date to see me the evening he gets back.
I guess I'm struggling with the fact that he must also really like me to put in this effort and not be put off as I have 2 children.
To get involved with a single mum?
Just looking for people's perspective.
