Dating again...

My son's father and I haven't been together since I found out I was pregnant 9 months ago and now I find myself "dating" again. I thought it was hard before, now pair it with a 5 week old baby who doesn't like to sleep much and you have my life! He must be a pretty great guy though if he still comes around and says he likes to hang out with the two of us!
Anyone else trying the dating thing again as a single mom?

Re: Dating again...
I personally am scared to date again.
First of all I am still in love with assshole and I feel like I am never going to get over him. Besides I'm 17 and just had a baby, who would want to be with me anyways? My body is not the same and nobody wants to make a commitment so young anyways. If I was to even start looking, which I won't, I don't want a 5 month relationship I want a guy who I can see myself marrying.
Wow, that does sound like a great guy!
I've been dating the same guy since about a month before my divorce was final. We met almost a year ago after my ex moved out, but didn't get serious until a few months later. I didn't really try too hard, but I did meet him online. I think I was just lucky to find someone so great who will put up with a 2 year old. lol

wow, where did you find that one? and does he have a brother? or cousin?
WoW ~ there is hope.......I find myself often thinking of that same scenario, will I ever meet someone who will love me as well as my baby! What I really want though is for my baby daddy to come back and be in our lives......I miss him so much! ! !
Good luck to you......hope it all works out and this guy he seems like an a-ok guy
I have dated a couple people since my stbx and I spilt in 2007. Nothing serious. Most of it is pathetic. LOL I have two little girls and I am so scared of introducing them to others. My DD#1 has severe separation issues because of not being able to see her dad all of the time so the last thing I wasnt to do it have her get attached to someone and then have us break up.
That said, however, I am currently dating someone. Its only been about a month ( I have known his family practically my whole life) and I really enjoy my time with him. I just dont see myself as the right one for him. I get along with him better then I have anyone else. I can open up and tell him everything. he knows the right things to say at the right times. But I just feel that he isnt cut out to be a step dad. I am going off of what i feel, as he has never met my girls. I am not saying he inst good with kids, because he is excellent (he has 11 brothers and sisters), I just see him having kids with someone who has never had kids before. I see him marrying someone who hasnt been married before. Does that make sense? No, I have not talked about this with him but his brother and I did talk about it. Am i jumping to conclusions (probably). I guess all in all I am just so scared of getting hurt again. Of going through the pain that I felt when my stbx and I first split. Does any else feel like this?
Well I'm pretty lucky that I already knew this guy, that being said we have tried in the past (although not serious) to make it work so we shall see. And like the rest of you I am very scared of being hurt again and have a son that I am afraid will get attached to this man as he is the only guy in our lives. We have lots to work through but I do enjoy the time I/we spend with him and wish you all luck when you're ready to do the same!
I went on my first date since BFP in August. DD was almost 9 months old. I've gone on a couple since then. I went on a date Sunday night with a guy that was really great. Like, REALLY, great. He's going through things right now and we decided that a relationship isn't right at this point in time. Right now I'm just feeling kind of defeated about it.
I told God he's just going to have to put my future husband on my front porch because that's the only way I'm going to find him.
This! I'm 20, and being so young, nobody my age wants to settle down and be in a serious relationship. Plus, I have to look for guys that I think would be good with DS, and that's really hard seeing how much guys this young are pretty immature. DS's dad and I broke up 3 1/2 months ago so I haven't dated since him, but yes, I am looking.
