Some of you know my story. Husband and I have been married eight years but haven't lived together for six. We are NOT together, that shipped has sailed. We stay married for financial reasons and we have discussed dating other people which he's fine with and so am I. He works and lives four hours away. (that's just the story) So for me I can't understand why it's so hard to find someone to date. It seems like at my age all the guys are dumb, have bad jobs, or some addiction. (I'm 36) I'm not ugly, I'm educated, good mom, good cook. I think I'm a good catch. I just can't find even close. Where would you go to meet a decent guy? I'm not a drinker so bars are out. I met a nice one but he lives two hours away and he just told me last night he found a nice redhead girl  Then another guy I was supposed to meet for coffee stood me up because he decided to spend time with his neices (sounded fishy to me) so he's out in my book. Should I go get a job at Home Depot??? hahaha What gives? I don't remember it being this hard. Ok Fooser.....here's perfect opportunity to slam me. *batting dear eyelashes at you* | ||

Maybe you're trying too hard. ?? The fact is, the pickings are slim at this point because most of the good ones are married. Hang in there. My best friend (divorced) went through a similar phase. She gave up and concentrated on her kids and her career. She happened to bump into an old high school friend (also divorced) and they have been dating for 3 years now. | ||

See I think that might be some of the problem...I focus too much on my kids. I don't look for guys. I wouldn't know where to look. My job is working with children so I can't meet guys there. hahaah I wonder if a dating service would work. | ||

I'm no in your situation, but I would put yourself out there. Go to eat with friends and flirt with people around you (of course if they are single lol) also you can always try on line dateing.

I don't have any friends My one best friend died. The other is married and lives an hour away. I really am probably too involved as a mother.The friends I used to have all disappeared once I had children and settled down. My friends consisted of muscians and bands and they are all still in that scene. Some of them still party and have kids. I'm just not into that anymore. Have you heard of any decent online dating sites and do you know if they really work? | ||

what about going to the library and seeing if they have any story times or sanything like that. Meet some moms. Also check to see if there are playgroups in your area. You need friends, you will feel so much better after you find some. I really didn't have many friends after I gotr married. The friends I did have lived so far away that I never saw them. Being a part of a playgroup has done wonders for me in terms of my parenting and my own self esteem.

That is true...lol I just had a guy call me today that I met on myspace....he seems ok. We are going to meet for coffee tomorrow. The only problem is he's 5'7" and I'm 5'9" when I wear shoes I'm a good 6 foot. This ought to be interesting. | ||
