Just wanted to say "HI!"

I've been single for 4 years now, divorced for 2 of them.
Being a single mom doesn't afford me much free time so finding a
new life partner has been rough going. I won't give up the search
but with school on my agenda for the upcoming year I'll have to put
it on the backburner for now.

Wonder who else is in my situation and knows where I'm comin' from?!

Ciao for now!
Lina

That's reality. Finding someone just happens, and your life will mold around that person to include them. Just take life as it comes. Life comes at ya pretty fast, and if you're not paying attention, it'll pass ya by. (Ferris)

Welcome and Good Luck

OK?!?

Thanks for your indifference, Patsfan.
I hear ya' about that gumby!! Faaaaaaaaaaaassssssstttttt!!!
Thanks 2kidsmom!

tough crowd here darlin...good luck with all ya have on your plate..

Welcome to the forums. I've been in plenty of situations where dating was not feasible or a good idea.

Good luck to you.

Thanks for the warning, Moonlight!
But I'm NOT afraid!!! BTDT! hehehehehe


Thanks Lilith and Water!!

WeLcOmE & G'lUcK!

i know nothing

but welcome anyway

I'm in same situation as you as well...I'm a single parent, working full-time, juggling that and parenthood isn't easy, and kids being out of school doesn't help free up my time either. I'm fortunate enough to have sisters and a mother that offer babysitting once in awhile for me to go out with friends and socialize.

As for the single part, after acouple weird dates, I'm being very picky on who i want to spend time with

Exactly Jmsal!
It's OK to be picky and not settle for less than what you truly want and deserve.

I won't let my girl meet anyone I've dated until I feel that they might stay around for awhile. As for having help with supervision, mine is very limited since I don't live near any family. YES! You are fortunate to have the assistance of family members, good for you. I only get 2 free nights a month, when my 'ex' takes her for his overnights. That DOES NOT afford me the pleasure of really getting to know someone and usually most men are not patient enough to stick around.

Thats sad but so true... on the men part

Glad someone understands!

Not crying or whining or bellyaching here.
Just stating the facts and maaaaaybe a little venting!! hahahahaha

Welcome and good luck.

Welcome and good luck. It took me awhile to get to a point where I can actually "attempt" a relationship again.

Just trust it will happen again.

Well I do know where you are coming from, I have been a single mom for the past 8 years. I work full time, go to school full time and have my daughter full time. There has been very little time for me in the past 8 yrs but after a couple of months on mingle and talking to several people, I have meet someone who I think would be the perfect person for me and my daughter. Wasn't sure about that until after talking to him for several weeks. But he has made a huge impression on me, so much so that I am going to go up to visit him next month.
I wish you the best of luck here on mingle and I am sure he is out there somewhere, looking for you too!!!

Welcome to the zoo, Lina...but beware the monkeys...they fling poo!

Pssssst! You've got mail...

Since when was I ever afraid of Monkey Poo, T?!?
I just hope I found a new home to play and distract myself with WHEN and IF I find the time.

Thanks for all your welcomes and "IN's". I'm sure I'll fit right into this place coming from where I've been!! OMG! haahhahahhahhaaaa



And TRGIRL! Rock on 'sista' I give you sooooooooo much credit for giving it your all and persevering. I wish you luck and send positive Ju-Ju your way that your search might have ended with a gem!!!
