Sick of being on my own

[MrsSnape]

I have been a single parent for around 3 years with one disatrous relationship inbetween me and the kids dad.

I needed the time to myself but now the novelty has worn off and I'm sick of it. I'm so bored and fed up. I never have anyone to talk to, to have a laugh with or just enjoy a film with.

I have had a quick browse on the dating sites but nobody ever comes up apart from one bloke who just messed me about.

I have hobbies etc but no men there. I'm finding it impossible to find work too. I just feel trapped in this single mum scenario. Am I destined to spend the rest of my life single? if not, where will he come from because right now, I can't see where he could come from

I am in the same boat.
Single for just over 2 years.
Joined 2 dating sited but no real interest from anyone. I don't want to be single forever.

I feel like men are put off me because i have 4 DC. I don't go out in the evenings because of the DC and not really got any spare pennies.

It is very lonely and i missed being hugged.

ime, you have to persist with dating sites. I met one interesting guy in about 4 years of trying!

tortoise, can you swap babysitting with another single mother? maybe someone who could sleep over at yours with her child/ren?

I am now not convinced that I want a man at all. Id just get a boss and a 5th child rolled into one - how attractive is that?
