Subject : Bored of being single and alone!

Hi there, I have a 1year old son who means the world to me, but i have been single since i was 5months pregnant with him, and his dad has nothing to do with him (his choice not mine) Now i am really wanting male company! i am getting so broody when my friends all bring there new babies around, and im think, that there is no chance of me having another one of them :(
I cant go out to meet people without my son, he is with me 24/7 and was wondering is there any chance of meeting someone else? Any ideas would be welcome!
Thank you all for reading!! :)

hi
It is very difficult to meet new people when you are always with lo isnt it?!
Is there anyone that could babysit for you so you can have the odd night out/cinema, maybe see if any friends could introduce you to someone?
I still havnt met anybody, been single for over a year and partly because ex is still around!

Im sure that it is possible to meet new people with lo aswell and im sure you will find someone soon! xx

You are not the only one, I was just coming on to post something similar,
I get really lonely at night and miss having someone to cuddle and laugh with.
I have a fantastic family but have yet to leave my 2 year old with anyone over night and as I still work with my ex and he is about all the time it is hard to move on at all.
I feel like I will never meet anyone new and even if I did why on earth would they be interested in me and my daughter? and then the whole worry of things like can he be trusted around my girl?
Think I may just be single for the rest of my life!

I too know how you all feel, I have a 5 yr old and a 3 yr old and split up with their dad when my youngest was 9 months old so have been single for over 2 yrs now! Their dad is no longer around and the only family I have is my mum who isn't able to babysit very often as she is always out with her friends!!
I find it very hard, I get so lonely and I totally don't get why anyone would want to get with me anyway!! Even if I did meet someone, how would I be able to get to know them properly when I am never without my boys!!!
Again, not much help but you are so not alone hun x x

Hi ladies im newly single and just seen this post, not been on in ages!!! this is what i dread the whole meeting someone else thing. at the moment my daughter is almost 2 and my son almost 6 months. its always in the back of your mind that 'who would want me now i have kids an that' before i had my babies i could go out meet people with friends an that, now just feel like i have none on that level if that makes any sense. most of my baby friend mummies have partners and i dont think they would like me 'going on the pull with them!' lol :p
at least i know im not alone in feeling this way

I get lonely at night as well and its only been 7 weeks since hubby left and 4 weeks since Luke was born. I still miss hubby I love him still eventhough he walked out on me at 37 weeks pregnant for his childhood sweetheart from 32 years ago. Over recent weeks things are nasty he says horrible things and won't pay for things. I am having to claim benefits and hate having to do that, form filling is such a pain. Maybe use a free dating site on the internet, I used one about 4 years ago did not meet anyone face to face but you never know.

Hi! I havent had the chance to read your replies, so sorry if I am echoing anyone elses words, but have you tried match.com? I know a few success stories. I think its better than meeting someone in a club or something as you can really get to know someone, talks online and over the telephone, with the added bonus of pictures! (to ensure they are gorgeous too!). I think the stigma of dating sites is long gone, and hotties are out there and waiting. Good luck! x

Hey girls, where's the PMA? Confused Of course you will all meet someone new in due course!

I'm kind of in two minds, I've been single for 2 months and have my own house with my ds (18mths).

I want someone else but only to go out with and have a laugh with...I'm getting to realise I'm only 21 and I don't want to get into a long term relationship again ( I was with my ex for 3 1/2 years ) for a long, l-o-n-g time and I think this is the way I'm meant to be.

I work part time which helps, I get to have male company there, just as friends like but still. I still get chatted up by some of the younger guys at work (I only look about 16 in my work stuff so everyone assumes I am) which is a bit of a confidence boost (though I'd never go there!).... there are guys out there ladies!!

Everyone is astonished that I have moved on so quick but I know the relationship between me & my ex was so NOT meant to be & I am SO happy not to be walking on eggshells around him (terrible temper) anymore and to do whatever I like whenever I like!! ..... I love having my own bed to myself, not have to do anyone's washing or ironing except mine and my son's! Flirt with who I like (not that I really do but hey, I could!), chat to who I like, go out with who I like, wear slutty clothes if i want to!....it's all good girls! PMA !!!! As long as me and my son are happy it's great, dont need to worry about anyone else....

Oh & i see my family so much more too! Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of aspects I miss (sex, some1 to cuddle!) but more that I don't. I do quite fancy a rebound but TBH I'm not going to go out looking lol xxxxxx
