pregnant and trying to date any advice
| Sat, 11-10-2007 - 9:47pm |
My sister is trying to date and has been on Craigs list which we have all nicknamed loser list because of the guys she has dated. She is frustrated and wondering what else she could do to meet someone. I have no advice as I never really dated I met my husband right out of high school. Any advice would be appreciated

I'm gathering from the title of the post that your sister is pregnant, correct?
I agree totally with Alison. One encouraging note is that she should focus on the joy of being a mom right now.
She will have plenty of time and energy for dating later on. And when the time is right then she will do a much better job of dating and choosing the right partner.
Dating is not always what we dream it to be or as Hollywood portrays. There are traps that can cause us greater agony than the brief joy that we experience with thinking someone likes us. We have to be able to know ourselves and what we want. We have to be able to discern the difference from the someone who just wants sex to someone who has a real romantic interest and who would make a good mate. We have to be able to set boundaries and make our needs known.
And now that she is "two" instead of one this is going to matter more than ever.
When she is a great mom and has many things in her life to make herself happy then she will be totally glamorous to the right person.
