My suggestion is, enjoy being single, be the best mom you can be to your little girl, but be open minded if someone does come in to your life. |
Etali - I totally agree! Mine also came along when I wasn't looking. In fact when I was 29, I didn't want to date anyone for longer than a few months because I wasn't getting any younger. I was so fed up with men that I decided to go on a "Man Fast," enjoy being single and I went out on dinner dates and coffee meetings with NO strings (or sex) attached.
When I began dating my future husband, he was perplexed I wasn't falling all over him (like all the other women he's gone out with) and that I didn't call him back right away or wasn't available at a moment's notice for him because I was also dating others, with no intimate involvement and I didn't even let any of my dates into my apartment!
I read a book about dating and the main gist was to "Be a Creature Like No Other." Corny, I know, but it's all about having a healthy attitude about yourself (not arrogant) that you're not like every other girl out there, you have your own special beauty and unique traits. And maybe you are not for every guy as every guy is not for you.
