Being a single mother sucks

I came across this website during one of my bouts of idleness and boredom. I have 2 sons, one is almost 14 and the other is 11.

I was divorced in 2001 and can't seem to date. And of course it's hard being a single mother. Single guys are turned off by a woman with children. And because I live in a small community, I know most of the divorced ones. The only prospects are the younger guys who want to meet someone and start a family. Well, I already have a family and about to give up on love. I'm tired of waiting for Mr. Right. I'm convinced he doesn't exist.

I'm in fairly good physical shape because I exercise but this only gets the guys attracted and not really interested. You know that guy who came up with "He's just not that into you" That's the story of my life

You wrote "He didn't make me feel good about myself and I would sit around waiting for him to call. That's no way to live."

I say you need to post this on your refrigerator along with the list someone else posted.

You are the only one responsible for your "Feel Goods", even if that means you go out with some girl friends ask some random guy to dance with you and then don't give him your # as you aren't that into him, he just looked good. Sometimes being selfish WORKS.
