Answer 2

Hi,
of course you will!
I'm in the same situation, and has been for longer, nearly four years actually. I am divorced and have two children.
So, I do know about not being able to socialize, not having much free time and worrying about meeting someone special.
But, my friends say the same thing I'm saying to you today: YOU WILL.
Actually, if you would like, we could exchange phone numbers, just so that we make sure someone will wish us happy new year.
This Christmas has been special for me, as for the first time ever, I've really taken charge.
Usually my children spend half the time with me and the other half with their dad, but things have changed and they are now with me full time, 27.
Well, I work and they go to primary school.
Anyway, things were great this year.
I decided to stay at home in Scotland, and honestly, everyday since the holiday we've done something fun where everyone of us had good fun.
I am enjoying it big time.
I won't be going clubbing, I haven't been for about two months, but it's ok.
Besides, I am sure you can try and arrange for a baby sitter.
My offer is genuine, so do get in touch.
But if not, Happy new year and all the very best.x

Answer 3

I am a single parent of 3 and ive been alone for 2 and a half years and the simple answer is if you dont get out and socialise then NO you wont ever meet anyone - chat to the other parents at the school gate - see if any of them know of a cheap babysitter (a near impossibility these days) and go out - join something - go to the pub - online dating is largely full of waste of spaces so dont bother!! Chin Up - just think you can leave them alone when the eldest is 14!! only another 7 years for me :-D

Answer 4

Try not to be too unhappy about your situation, there are loads of us single parents out there who are in exactly the same boat as you...i myself am a single parent dad of two teen "blokes", and i have not been near a woman for the last 4 years-in either an intellectual, or a physical way-it doesn't really bother me, i will be ready when i am ready, my kids come first, time for me later...so chin up-keep smiling, your time will come soon...i am sure:-) Best of luck in the new year!!

Answer 5

Probably. I don't know why you're single (did the kids' father(s) leave you, or did you leave him/them?) and the way you broke up with your man before might influence the way men might feel about you now, but in general, I would say that if your kids are getting to an age where they can be in organized things with other kids, like sports for instance, you have a great chance of meeting someone like you at an event.

Answer 6

At this time of year, most(single) people feel the same way. This is a time of year when remembering the year spent, reflects on who you wish to be. Don't worry, be yourself and the right person will come along. It is something we cannot rush. Remember the best things in life are worth waiting for!!!! I have,and am now,there also.

Answer 7

I'm single too and live in a new area. If you are over 21 and live in NE Ohio e-mail me maybe I can solve your problem. The more you look the less you find. It sucks but it's true. One day you will be walking down the street minding your own business and BOOM the love of your life will jump out in front of you. The question is, are you ready to accept it? Next thing, do you really like yourself? It's very important that you do, because no body will like you if you don't like yourself. Get to work and good luck. And have a wild new year.

Answer 8

hey just enjoy yourself hun, I'm single, have been for years, and I'm a single mom, of two, happiness is within yourself, not in a having partner, just be happy in urself and do things you enjoy, you dont need have a partner to enjoy life, as for socialising, walking with/without a dog gets you meeting people, taking classes, joining gyms/clubs and such, you need to be happy for you hun, you don't need another person to achieve this, and when you are you'd be amazed how many people come your way, have a great new year x

Answer 9

Yes you will and it will be when you not looking for it. Just enjoy you New Year with you children, at least you have them. There are alot of people out there not so fortunate. Like me, I'm home alone. It is a depressing time of the year for some people, just try and make the most of it. It will be over before you know it.

Answer 10

having been alone for 2 years,i presume the youngest baby is nursery age. so, now as you are on the net, you can find all collleges and unis near to you, and start to think about what you want to do with your life. A career ,and firstly college will not only bring friends, it will bring confidence, and of course money for you. Financially if you are alone, your cources will be paid for, go on, the world is your oyster, and that of your babies, who i am sure are lovely and sweet, you can make life better for them too. lol And one parting wish, if you meet anybody else, do take serious precautions, two babies so young are enough for somebody alone, and studying.
