36 in A few months feel so fed up

[Babypiggy]

Hi id like some honest feedback pls. Ive been divircd for two years had one rship since- didnt work out. I was hurt. Ive got a wonderful seven year old son who I adore. I want a man to add to my life- own house, car decent job and not looking to play games. I have a busy life- my career os good but demanding job which i enjoy and am passionate about. Am I asking too much to want a decent man!? I have been doing OLD on and off since last year then lock down struck etc. Ive had around seven dates but not met the one. There are times when i feel lonely and worry il end up alone forever. Sorry this is rambling but ultimately im asking has anyone been in a similar position and found someone they really liked?

I'd love the positive stories too.

38 single mum, been single 8 years now and being doing old on and off for that time. Lots of short term things 3 months and then they go on to their relationship.

Lovely encouraging stories

I met my lovely DP OLD, we've been living together for 6 months now. I'm 41 with 2 children, divorced for 7 years. Before I met him, however, I went on a LOT of dates. The key for me was to keep my expectations really low. I was really happy to meet interesting people, some of whom have developed into great friends, which I really value.

I suppose I wasn't really looking for a partner or a husband- I felt complete in myself, and was just enjoying (most of the time) dating and connecting with new people. So when DP came along it was a wonderful surprise. My advice would be to have an open mind and work on yourself, more than anything else.
