Well, I said I wasn't "looking" .. but I think I was lying to myself. I have been on a single parents dating site for a couple of months... and tho, I said I was just looking for friends --- if I admit the truth - I know I was hoping to find a friend, but have it turn into more.

The one guy I liked, and exchanged several emails with, just does not seem all that interested. I am feeling very much like I am a toad.

When I post new topics here, only a few respond... when I post a response it is rarely commented on ... but, I know the people here are awesome - and it's just me and my stupid insecurities getting the better of me.

I am so tired, and lacking any real drive what-so-ever...but I have to make myself go on. I put a smile on my face, and just try to enjoy my boys and forget that I am so lonely inside it makes me want to curl up in a ball and cry. I won't do it.

Can I talk myself into not being lonely? I keep busy.. and that does help ... but there are times when it's like having a craving for a certain food. You want chinese food, but all you have in the fridge is itallian ...

I doubt I make much sense.. and I don't expect anyone to respond.. I just needed to let it out.

You all are wonderful - and forgive me for sounding like I feel sorry for myself... I guess I am doing that - but I know it's a waste of energy and a pitiful emotion .... so I promise to slap myself out of it soon. lol

God Bless

Somebody hear sumthin?


InnI, very few of your posts go unnoticed. Trust me. You are a part of us and hey, we all get ignored around here sooner or later. They all have kids! lol

Loneliness is there for all of us. So in that way, you really aren't alone are you?

:huggies:

InnI, I'll second what JD said. Been feeling some of that myself lately, but then I've turned inward a little more too, so it's up to me to turn it around and get out.

Rest assured that these posts are noticed, and you're not alone.

Chris

I'll third that.

Now pick yourself up by your bootstraps and keep on keeping on

Hey lady, I am here too. I have been here for such a short time in comparison to most of the people here but I know everyone here is important and cared for. I am always willing to talk anytime you want. I check alot on the PM so if you want to, PM.

Smile lady, you are loved.
:balloon: :balloons: :lovehearts: :loverain: :sweetheart: :huggies: :grouphug:

Oh no, you are way too special to be feeling this way! (((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))) We love you!

I know that feeling of loneliness.

Life keeps me busy and then a quiet period comes and I feel so isolated.

You are not alone. We all are here sharing this trip.
Chin up, I think you are great. Be well
Harmony

you are not feeling anyting the rest of us are not feeling, or have felt, or will feel. thats why we are all single parents. we all know what its like to feel unwanted, neglected, left out, and even worse, the "third Wheel". even more so when you see people you know in relationships.

We all say, "don't try so hard and when you are not looking it will come." and we all know that we try and still keep looking, saying "is this the one?" we have all been there, still there, or will be there.

I have two, 13, and 14. they take most of my time, but they do go to sleep, to school, to their mom's for the weekend, and here I am, with way too much time to think and thats when it hits. cheer up and feel free to vent when ever you like, heck you can even send me a personal email and really let go, I am a good listener.

Hugs babygirl and keep the faith, we all love ya

I feel that way on some days also. Things seem to be that way more and more lately. But then you can look at your kids and try to think how wonderful things are. I may not get back to you on your posts on that timely of a manner, but I try to as soon as I can.

InnI, you are not alone. I completely understand what you are going through. Although I know I may not be quite ready for a relationship, I am still so lonely and just wish I had a companion to share life with. It is so hard being a single mom. Especially seeing my friends who have more freedom and have relatinships. Hang in there, it will get easier. (At least thats what I am hoping too)

InnI,

I know excatly how you feel. Being lonely is a word that is cemented in my vocab list LOL.

I keep busy w/work and my son's school and reorganzing the coming baby's stuff but there are times when I get nothing to do - that loneness comes over me. It's hard to see my frineds in relationships or starting new ones and I'm there alone single mommy to an 8yr old and pregnate.

Like erin19 says hang in there it gets easier. I'm hoping that is ture too. There is light at the end of the tunnel I just haven't seen it yet

SPIRIT

InnI, I know about those cravings...I would like to have shrimp and lobster every night, but I usually end up a a cup of those Maruchan noodles! lol, not they are bad, but not what I really want.
Lets just say I have a nice plate of seafood but its somewhat out of my reach at the moment, but I think its staying hot and hopefully soon I will get it, but for now I have to keep eating the instant noodles....
Does that anology make sense to you? Hope this cheers you up, your not the only person hungry out there!

JD, Orion, Don, Melissa, Sue, Harmony, Wyatt, smshybug, erin, Spirit, & Tucson ....

A heartfelt thank you does not seem enough, to tell you how much I appreciate your support. I am a little embarrassed for being such a whiney butt, but too - glad that I let it out, and received such a warm and caring response. I guess, I just needed to hear it...and be personally reminded that we all feel it from time to time.

smshybug ... forgive me, if I made it seem like anyone was not responding to my posts in a timely manner ... as that is not really how I meant what I said. It was more, to illustrate that I have that feeling of being invisible. Everyone here is amazingly supportive, and I am lucky to have found such a wonderful group. I totally understand everyone is busy with work, kids, and life.

I don't feel so invisible today, and the loneliness does come and go ... but I'm not alone ... I have you all!!!


Thank you!!!!

:huggies: :grouphug: :lovehearts:

Hey Inni~ I was away for the weekend - no work and no internet at home.

I hope you are feeling much much better!! Last week you and I posted to a thread about being content with ourselves and our kids and no relationship.

Now that you posted this, I can say that - I am feeling a little 'left out' pity me too. Will this always come and go??? Will someone plllease let us know how to make it go away forever???

Anyway - You are very much appreciated around here and I love reading your posts. Send me a pm if you're ever feeling lonely. I know = I know - it's not the same as have that special friend ya tell everything to but - we're all here for ya Girl! Chin up!

Ditto to what Melissa Jo said aboutr private messages and how much you are appreciated around here!
