What to do?
| Sun, 02-11-2007 - 10:20pm |
Hello, I am a 30 yr old single mother to a wonderful 11 month old son. I tried eharmony to find a decent human being to try to start a relationship with. I made contact with a nice man (nice meaning gainfully employed, doesn't push me/demand my time). Problem, I am terrified to phone him. I live with my parents due to losing my job after having my son. I am working full time, but cannot afford to move out, yet. How do I start to date? Do I tell this man that maybe he should go on and I just forget about dating for now? I am confused. I don't know what to do. He wants me to call him, I keep appologizing for not calling. Now I feel like an idiot. Christy

I lived with my parents for 2 years while going through a nasty custody dispute/divorce. After the divorce was final, I lived with my parents for an additional year. I told potential dates upfront that I was living with my parents. I didn't make a big deal out of it.
During that time, I had one significant relationship that ended on my own terms. No regrets.
I think you need to do what feels good for you. However, I would not call that man. If he wants to see you, he needs to call you *period*. When men throw that line out there, "call me," that means they aren't too interested and aren't even willing to make the effort of placing the first phone call.
You DONT tell them right away. You simply say that you are a divorced mom b/c your H wasnt who you thought he was when you married him. But of coruse you woudlnt change a thing b/c look what you have from it, a beautiful son.
I was also in an abusive marriage ... little by little my guy has an idea of what it was all about, but he has
