Friends with Benefits? (Ladies)

MnAc · 15/05/2021 17:55

I've had 3 serious relationships with men & a few casual/ short-term relationships with women but that was before I or they became a parent.
Been single for 18 months & really starting to miss having someone to: cook for, enjoy dinner, wine & dessert with, vent to, share adult jokes with, but mostly just cuddle & binge watch TV with.
(I say mostly this because I have close friends & sisters to do other things with)
My DC is gone for a day/ night every week & I often wonder how I would go about trying to meet a like-minded Mum with at least 1 primary school aged child - I've got 1 DC - who'd like to meet up for the above.
I'm not quite ready for a sexual or serious relationship just yet but miss the "adult closeness".
Can anyone recommend any apps or sites I could try?

Can't you do that with a friend? You're looking for a friend or more?

Friends with benefits = friend who
you also have sex with but are not exclusive / in an official relationship with. If you're looking for something minus sex then it would be best to join some clubs / sports / hobbies to meet new people I think?

I'd recommend okcupid in the first instance.
Its a more forward thinking dating site.

You would include in your profile what you're looking for.
