Single parent and dating at 28?
November 24, 2009 | 5 Comments
Im recently single and almost 28 years old. I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter. Im enjoying being single but think about someday meeting someone special, just not right now. The thing is Im afraid that when Im ready Ill have no way to meet someone. Is the only way left internet? I keep thinking that Ill be alone for the rest of my life.
Congrats on your new-found single life!!! First, don’t put too much pressure on yourself on how’s why’s and such other bs of dating game. It’s really a natural type of game and there are really no hard rules on what you should or shouldn’t do. Second, don’t worry about not meeting anyone anymore. I worried about the same thing too but soon I realized that I was just not ready (and still not ready) for a serious relationship, and dating became more enjoyable. Also, contrary to horror stories, Internet is not a bad thing to meet people. Pretty much everyone with Facebook now has a profile on matching / dating sites, and many people meet/ marry through internet services. However, one thing I want to mention. Never ever tell your perspective date (or put it on your online profile) that you are single mother. There guys who just "hunt" for such mothers in order to get access to children. If a guy likes you on your first or second date, he’d like you even if you have a kid, and he’d understand if you kept this tidbit from him for safety reasons. And anyway you’d never want a guy who’s not into kids or won’t want understand the reasons for your precautions.
Also, try dating casually. If you’re not into this thing, than wait till you’re ready for serious dating. I invited a lot of suffering on myself just because I tried to date seriously when in fact I was not ready for it.
