Posh, you need to check out nannynick (and if you won't, I will! ).
Just wanted to add that, when I split up from DS's dad over two years ago, my self-esteem was rock bottom, and I thought no one would ever be interested in me again, ever.
I have since had three flings , one of these with a lovely (younger) man, who would like a Proper Relationship (eek!). I don't think he's the man for me/that I'm ready, but I feel flattered all the same.
One of these fellas, I met online. He wasn't phased by me being a mum. One other guy I met online (I have only met two - both turned out to be decent sorts), who I didn't have a sexual spark with but has become a good friend, accepts that he may not meet someone who'd like children with him, so is open-minded - positive, even - about becoming a step-dad. And the toyboy I've seen more recently, who wants something more serious, doesn't seem in the least bit put off by DS.
I'm a 31-year-old single mum of a five-year-old DS. I work part-time and, although I have a lot of interests, they're crafty and gardening-related - not remotely adventurous!
Sorry to ramble, but I just wanted to emphasise that your being a non-skiing single mum of a little one doesn't need to - and won't - stop you from meeting a Very Nice Man when the time's right. You'll be surprised.
