I am in exactly the same position - 2 kids and 11 and a half years. I have met someone on a website, and will be meeting himfor the first time this week. I am absolutely terrified that I won't be fun or have anything to talk about, or that he will take one look and run a mile. But not so terrified that I won't turn up!. He's gorgeous and I want some after the wilderness! So my advice is, look around, be fussy, make sure you find someone with integrity who will treat you like a lady, stock up on good lingerie and wine and trust the fact when someone makes the effort to get to know you, they want to know. I wish Good Luck to both of us because we deserve it! And they should think themselves lucky to meet us!

The answer from one who has been there is definitely yes. One thing I learned is view it as making new Friends, not finding a partner. I have made some friends who will be friends for life( also met some which weren't so sparkling too) and yes I did meet a partner too. The thing is take the pressure off yourself, whether you try family connections, friends of friends or even websites, just go out, enjoy your freedom and you'll shine and you wont need to look, men will be attracted to you. Have fun, you deserve it.

why not start dating again? It's time to start thinking about you and your happiness. Try to get involved in some singles groups, church groups etc. Take some classes, anywhere where you can met people your age that you can get involved with doing something fun. From there, you will meet people and start dating. Good luck!

Hey you've worked really hard in bringing up your child and devoted all this time towards this. Time you had some fun and did something for yourself too......movie clubs, plays, libraries, coffee shops are a great place to strike up regular conversations. Once you are comfortable having regular conversation.....your confidence will start building and u'll feel it and so will the others......the rest, like they say, will be history.
Another key thing is dress "pretty"......in the sense....in something that makes you feel attractive.....it helps.......

Find a friend or family member and go out for a social drink, soft drink, meet people and mix with the outside world.

why not do an evening course for mature students it will definitely boost your confidence and social life and you may find an interest in the course. Also try not to look to hard as you may end up with the wrong type.

Just keep your eyes open, you never know when God is going to send the person you need into your life.
Just be careful, there are a lot of losers out there!
God Bless you for taking care of your Child!
