hi everyone,
i just wanted to say hello. i'm a newly single mother myself and while i'm not quite ready to start dating yet (the very idea just freaks me out, lol) it was nice to find a board that is specific to single mothers and the crazy confusing world of dating. i'm sure that when i am ready, that i'll be posting here quite often! :)

Welcome to the board!


I'm sure that if you approach the idea more to make some new friends it won't seem so daunting.

hi alison,
i would say going on two weeks (i know, still very recent) but the ex would argue about 6 months ago. that is when i packed up and left and just two weeks ago was when he officially ended it. it's still difficult, so just taking it day by day, but it was sure nice to come across this message board with all the single moms toughing it out! the thought of dating still seems daunting to me and so far away at this point, but i know i would like to date and find that certain someone again. it's nice to read stories and at the very least, try getting used to the idea of dating again. :)

Welcome - we are so glad to have you - the more the merrier. I am sure you will find our dating stories to be amusing, disheartening, enlightening and entertaining! You will learn a lot here, as I have.

Well, two weeks or six months- either way, you're not sounding like you're ready just yet... so what you need to do is just get out and make some new friends so you fill your life with people- male and female- to get out of that loneliness...


As for the siggy's, here's a link to the board where you can request a siggy made for you:

I would read the do's and don't's of requesting before you post though- just to ensure you give enough info in your request.
