Tell us a little about you. Are you dating? Not dating? Like someone? How many kids? How long have you been a single mom?

I have one dd, she is 9. I was a single mom for about 3 years from 2001 to 2004. I met my SO in 2003 and we dated for a little over a year before we decided to move in together. We now make up a family of 6, me and my dd, and him and his three sons...and 2 dogs...and a cat...and various other little creatures that the kids like to drag into the house to spook me. We are on year two of living together and things are going much smoother than the first. =)

I am not dating right now but do like someone (my coach). I have one son age 9 and I have been a single mom for 4 years. Although I have always felt like a single mom since day 1.

Friday night I had a date with DS!! We both got dressed up, went to the movies and then out to dinner and then shopping. He helped me pick out a cute outfit and then we went shopping for him to buy an xbox game. What a wonderful evening.

I am just having fun and am totally comfortable letting it take its own pace. He is a great guy - very shy - and we are having so much fun - his brother is dating my babysitter. Will keep you posted.

Hi Judy

This is my first time on here and when I saw the posting of Single Mom's on the board I just dove in. I am a single parent of a 5yr old daughter who is my world. I own my own home and trying to update it and renovate somethings. I read a few of your postings and you have inspired me to go out there and focus on my home instead of dating.

I am in a relationship now for about 1 1/2 yr and I am about to end it soon. The man I have been dating just came out of an ugly divorce so he isnt sure what he wants out of life. He doesn't want to give me up but can't really tell me if he will ever marry again. We started this relationship with me thinking he was divorced and soon to find out that he was going through a nasty divorce. He reasons were because according to him he has been divored for over a year in his mind.

Anyway being in this relationship has made me rethink the whole Match thing again. We met on match and I must say he is a great guy but I don't want someone who isn't sure what he wants out of life. All this because his ex made his life hell.

Anyway my writing to you was to introduce myself and let you know I think you are an inspiration to single Moms.

Thank you for your words of wisdom..

Hi American Butterfly,

You sound like you are in a great state in your life. I am sure if you give this guy the boot then you will be on the right path for what you deserve. I know it is hard after a year and a half. But you have to put you first.

Thanks for your compliment and for posting with us - I am always so happy when we get a new poster.

I have found that most of the guys on match are in a transitional state - longing for physical contact and companionship but no where near ready for something serious and long term.
