Hi Melissa, and welcome! You will love our board - we have so many wonderful single moms here.
You are not alone. Dating is a journey. A long one usually. I think you need to dwell more on your goal of finding someone special, who is capable of a good relationship with you, who wants you. This may very well mean not this guy.
Try to get out there more - social networking, maybe online dating, asking friends if they know someone - doing different things - and most importantly - making yourself happy with fun activities. Then you will meet more people.
It is hard. We all experience what you are going through - if you follow the threads and get to know every one here you will see it is all the same thing.
It is not you - it is him. Maybe he likes someone else better? Maybe there is something about you that is just not right for him? Maybe he doesn't want a relationship? Who knows? Who cares - it doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is that he is not calling and into you. No amount of calls and prodding can change that. But what you can change is to get out there and play the numbers game. Don't get stuck on one - date as many as you can until one is really wanting a relationship with you.
Sorry sweetie - and happy birthday - and welcome!! Better days are to come. Enjoy your time alone while you can.
Well, one thing that is going to drive you crazy with this guy is getting constant updates on this guy's whereabouts and actions from your friends, or being asked from them how things are going with him.
I agree with what everyone else says, but would like to add the guy isn't worth it if he can't show common courtesy or seems toooooo busy to even say hi. If the guy is REALLY into you, he will MAKE the time. Just forget him and if your friend bring it you can tell her you enjoyed the dates, but have since realized that this guy isn't respectful and courteous enough to give him another thought.
Have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY tomorrow!
Thank you so much for your replies.
