It will happen and when it does l am sure the wait will have been worth it. I can not provide much advice on what to do or what not to do, but l will say that l think you just need to live life as it currently is and spend as much time with your daughter, family and friends. Enjoy what you have and somewhere along the line things will just happen romantically for you. Keep having a look at various dating websites but dont log on with the mindset "I WANT A PARTNER NOW" just log on, have a browse, maybe a chat and after a while possibly arrange to meet the people you feel tick some boxes. You know in Australia (Football) we often say "Every Win Is One Closer To A Loss" and it works the same in reverse..... Every dud date is one closer to a fantastic date. So keep looking but ensure you live as normal as possible and keep in mind the law of averages applies...... Each date that dosnt work out puts the odds further in your favour for the next date !!

Someone who will truly love me and won't hurt me again. And someone who could accept me as me and can accept my kids as well.

Liking the blog too. I've been a single mom for 19 months now. Loads of dates, but no-one wants to stick around. The only guys that continue to date me are the ones who have made it clear from the start that they do not want a relationship. Why? I have no idea. Note that I didn't struggle to get a boyfriend before I had two children. I don't want to give up, but each man that ditches me a few weeks in, does knock my self-confidence more each time. Good luck to you ladies. Hope one of you finds Mr Right! Xx Hey guys! Liking the blog too. I’ve been a single mom for 19 months now. Loads of dates, but no-one wants to stick around.

I am a single mom too and feel the same frustrations as you guys. It is so nice not to be alone in this. I have been divorced for 5 years now and struggle with the same problems. I wanted a family so bad I married the wrong man when I was young, now I have our 5 yr old all by myself. I tried the dating sites too, but to no avail. I had some really bad experiences and pretty much gave up. Someone give me some good news. Cause I am so sick of hearing you will find someone, that person is out there. My friends and family have only told me that for five years now. I am so glad I came across this blog. I am a single mom too and feel the same frustrations as you guys.

And now, starting a new beginning with a new partner. I know, it's not this easy, but I need to give it a try for the second time, maybe I can have that loyal and sincere man someday. I need to wait until he will come on me for real. :) Hmmm..I just give up for being single a few weeks ago. And now, starting a new beginning with a new partner.

I'm one that's given up, and started again, several times over the years...you are spot on about dating for fun not matrimony - too much pressure! I am more in the camp of "it's not me, it's you"...it seems every man I meet online (I can't find one anywhere else) is completely inept or just apathetic about courtship. They text at odd hours, they can't commit to even a meeting place/time, much less a relationship, they have strange behaviours or addictions. I've tried different websites. I just can't seem to find a better caliber of men, and think a lot has to do with where I live (Florida)- people are shallow and materialistic, and there's always someone younger, better looking, or wealthier out there :/ I would love to move but can't, not for awhile, anyway. So I'm retired from dating temporarily but who knows, maybe next month will look better?! Great blog.

I was thinking about what you said/asked. I don't know yet honestly... I think when it comes to me, I think my daughter would want me to be happy. I would still put 100% effort into her and making sure she knows how much i love her. It is a tough question, sometimes i wonder if the single dad that shows his loyalty toward his daughter makes them really know that dad loves them. How ever you can love your child and still move on. I listen and talk to single parents and kids of divorced parents all the time and just take in what they say. Everyone is different. I guess thats what makes life so amazing. Thanks again Dan hope to talk to you more ~Chris R Dan,

I do believe that we should not be chasing after love. It's not going to fall in our laps but the best way seems to be just allowing it to happen if it comes. Single moms have a tougher time I think because of the demands on our lives. Great post! I do believe that we should not be chasing after love.
