I have found that lately I am receiving some "nice" looks and smiles from guys. It's kind of nice but I get this icky feeling in my stomach when they talk to me. Like I think I might be ready but then my gut tells me "i don't think so." I am having trouble fighting this feeling. I know I am not ready for anything too serious but I don't want to be single forever. I will admit that I do still miss and care for my ex, I mean he is the father of my child, but I also don't have any contact with or intend to contact him. Anyone know how to make this easier!?!?

Sorry I don't know that does get any easier. I thought I was ready to date and went out with a nice girl but it just doesn't seem right/real sometimes. I am going to see her again and we are taking it slow, but I think it will be a long time before it seems natural/normal. I sometimes worry about having to raise my kids and growing old all by myself. I have even questioned whether or not I should get back together with the ex, just so me and the kids didn't have to be alone. Thank the lord I came to my senses on that one. LOL. Sorry I know that this probably isn't much help but I thought I would try.

Give it time. My sons dad and I were never really an item, but still deep down I was not ready to date until after my son was 1.

PS - I'm in MI where do I find decent guys???

you can find decent guys in Missouri,,,,,,,,(hey thats where I am)

Don't bother looking for decent guys in Massachusetts...there isn't a single one.

They must all be in MO cause there aren't any in Iowa either BigBobby.

Some one from Iowa??? what part, cuz I am not far from the Iowa border in Missouri

Hey Wyatt, I am from Iowa City. I make into MO 3-4X a year. to visit friends in Kansas City, and to buy fire works.

Don't fool yourself, we know the real you! :lovehearts:

Well I have re-thought this whole dating thing and I don't think I'm ready. I just can't see myself with anyone right now. I think some more time just focusing on my daughter and myself is needed.

I, however, have a friend who insists that he wants to marry me. This has become a big problem considering that I do not feel the same way about him.

No Kidding, I live north of Kansas City about 50 miles. little town called St. Joseph. just about 110 miles from council bluffs

I had a complete stranger tell me today that I am beautiful. I was getting coffee where I get it every morning and this guy just said, you look very beautiful today. And no, it wasn't the cashier. Kind of perked up my morning.

smshybug, you were getting coffee and had your morning perked. No pun intended right. LOL that is funny. Happy for you though, everyones morning should start off like that. Good for you.
