I have been divorced 5 years, but I was still involved with ex, even though he was remarried we were satill seeig eachother that all came to an end a year ago, I am a single mom of two kids an dI am dating again. My problem is I meet someone go out 2-3 times and then I lose interest, this current man I am dating is wonderful, I cant complain abut anything. But I feel pressured all the time. To see him to call him. Is it worng to really liek someoen but not want a relationship keep it casual? I am so busy I do not feel I have time for a relationship?

There's nothing wrong with that at all, unless you're leading him into believing something else. Have you spoken to him about your expectations of your relationship with him and that you just want something casual? If not, I think now is the time to do so.


Nothing's wrong, it's just where you are in your life. No worries. :)

I don't get it. Why are you trying to have a relationship when a relationship is not for you at this time?

It is perfectly okay to remain single, or to have a FWB situation.

I say its normal I am divorced too ( no kids in my case ) and have been divorce for 2 yrs and now I am finally dating a great guy and I too would like to keep it casual why for I wsa married for yrs and I am still new to the dating game let your new man know that you care about him and want to take it slow I too felt pressure to call and etc but my new guy is very patient with me and when we do make the time to see each other its just that more special HUGS
