Hi all, I'm new to this group.
I'm a solo parent to three kids. I work part time from home and am living in a new town after escaping my Ex. She's bipolar and put us through hell. anyway, I'm feeling like I'll never find someone who truly wants me. Certainly not with 3 kids. I had a date/playdate this weekend with a nice girl. Afterwards she said she thought I was a great guy... but not for her. That's ok, I'm not to upset by that. I just feel like I really want someone to share my life with. I'm 28. I feel like the best years of my life will be gone and I'll have spent them alone. I've taken up bodybuilding to keep my busy and active. How do I ENJOY the wait for the right woman? I just want someone to talk to and cuddle on the couch sometimes. How do you simply "wait" for the right person? How do you cope with being lonely? distraction has been my only escape.. trying to stay busy. work has been very slow so that has compounded my despair Posted on 06/18/12, 04:55 am |

welcome I suppose someone will answer some of your questions or maybe just stick around a bit and see what all goes into getting thru loneliness without being difficult to deal with...not that you are but you seem to think you are because of kids....many women embrace someone with kids....

I wish I could follow my own advice. If you can fight and fight and fight to take every opportunity you can to do social things with people, do it. Find any group you can which you like, book, walking, astronomy anything. It's been my experience that nothing is going to come to me. Whatever you can do to increase your probabilities do it.

I understand your questions, I have bipolar disorder and it makes guys run for the hills, I've been waiting for a good guy for decades.
I guess you just keep active doing things you enjoy and try not to think about what you don't have right now. Keeping busy increases your chances that you'll meet the right one for you.

Hello BlueJay...I am a single mom of 1 and guys run so fast its hard to see what direction they went. You are not alone. I understand the lonliness and not wanting to watch that movie solo...My roomy has a man in her life and even though she is constantly inviting me to go with them places, its just not the same if you follow along behind...It seems like since I left my husband a year and a half ago, the only guys I can attract are jerks...so you are not alone, and I wish you all the best of luck...feel free to message me if you want to chat.

Bluejay,
I was a single dad for several years. My two daughters attended day care and the woman that ran the place was always trying to fix me up with the single moms. Even if you don't meet the girl of your dreams, you'll meet a lot of very nice people with similar life experiences and needs. Hang in there dude!
