What choice do I have, really?

In this day and time meeting on the internet is the way most busy people go to meet someone. You can learn something about them assuming they tell the truth. Some do some don't. But as you say the children don't have to meet someone and become attached to him. A person can lie to you to your face just as well as on line the same with telling the truth. I met my husband where I use to work when I was able to work, that was about 21 years ago. We have been together for 19+ years. I wish you the best in finding someone.

I met my husband online, so I think it's a good idea you go online dating you don't meet until you feel you are ready & it gives you time to look pretty etc meeting in real life sometimes happens that we don't look our best and embarassed as long as you are cautious, you should be OK I didn't give out address or birth information at all until hubby proposed to me the way I see it, some people just care for their own needs so it's very kind of you thinking of your children's feelings

Hi, I don't have a man in my life & haven't for a long time. I hope u meet someone nice but please be careful. There is alot of loonies out there.

I know it must be tough for you. Have you tried church or any singles groups that a church may have? I have heard of a few people that have met at the grocery store. I believe it was later at night when they met. Think frozen food section. Also how about the library? Especially with the free library programs they have for the kids. Single dads go there a lot. I also have a cousin that met his wife online. I don't know how or which site he used but they've been married for 9 years so far. Also you can try the parks on a nice day. Take the kids there for a picnic. You just might be surprised with the single dads there. Truthfully though, I think you meet people most when you really aren't looking. When I met my husband I was out at a restaurant/bar with my cousin. We weren't looking for any guys and he just came up to me and started talking to me.

From the looks of things you really have no choice having 3 kids to take care you will definitely find it difficult to find a free time much else meet a guy. I think dating sites is okay as long you know how to take care of yourself. As far as we know there are several people who only chats for fun and never been serious. So i would advise you not to lose your heart easily to anyone especially you don't know them for too long. Some guys don't really take dating sites seriously and it would be a waste of time if you fall for someone who is only playing a game.

I totally understand where your coming from 2 years try 5 or longer its really dificult to meet good guys especially these days with all the dangers to watch out for and I was raised to take my time and not rush but sometimes I feel like I'll never find someone that understands me and fits into my life, of course I realize that someday the right person will come along, but its lonely sometimes. As for dating sites I've tried a couple but most of the guys on those sites are not looking for a meaningful relationship if you get my drift. so I lost interest, but maybe you can pm the name of the site you are using and I might give it a try lol. You ask what choice do you have, I feel the same way because I spent most of my younger years traveling and moving around, and I was not able to have the typical dating life, and now that I'm settled a little there dosent seem to be many options, because I dont care much for bars and night clubs and I'm a little bit shy when it comes to guys so I understand a lot more then some.

i met my hubby at church and we have been married for 22 years. there are lots of dating websites. i know people who have met on there. (Christian ones anyways). lots of churches have events for singles of any age.

I met the Boss on a counselling course. We were drawn to role play with each other and we managed to turn it into reality! 24 years this year! I don't think that there's a right or a wrong way to meet someone. I do think that it is possible to try too hard and appear desperate. Women often think that having children in tow means that they will be a bug turn off to men. Maybe there are some men like that, but most accept that everyone over 30 comes with a little baggage, we sure as heck do! I hope that you find Mr Right. He's there somewhere just waiting for you.

I met my husband in college, so I have not had any other experience since then. What I can tell you though is my neighbors met online, they each had kids. They talked for 3 months before finally deciding to meet for lunch. They have now been married for 3 years, but been together for 8 years and are very happy. One more to share, a really good friend of mine finally got divorced about 2 years ago and now met her boyfriend online also. They get along great and she has never been happier. They are going on one year next month. I think it is good to wait until you are in a relationship to introduce your kids, but you do have a right to be in one.

enjoy relationship ,you should go ahead with one girl issue ,then your family will be complete,thx for sharing.

it happens but in most cases,meeting and dating on internet is very risky.this id because you relly dont know the person on the other side. so be careful before its too late.

Wow i can defintely understand where your coming from on this. It has got to be a hard decision. kinda like damned if you do and damned if you dont, but think of it this way..your in control. Do whats better for u and urs. If it means holdin off then thats what gotta happen. i actually met my recent ex girlfriend on Myspace. Alot of folks talk down on internet dating but i suppose they aren't looking into just how convenient this is. People make a page that reflects them. You can review, look at pictures, etc. You can do this in a supermarket. Its either make or break with conversation..then you may get to know the real person and possible come to the realization that you wasted your time with this indiviual. i say stay online babe and do ya thang. There are some men out there that are sincerly looking for the sme thing that you are!
