I am a single mom of 2 and worried that I would never meet a guy who would except me...but I did. The problem is he lives in Australia and I live in california. Do you think love can be found online or am I just so lonely I want it to?

first of all, more men than you realize have no problem with single moms and are very open to being a step-father. Online is difficult, but it works, however australia is a long ways away.

I think it can be found but the maintenance is another issue.Does he know you have children? Does he have children? Do you understand Australian culture and what the men believe? Break it down honey. You have said it correctly the "problem is" it can be a problem what do you want to hear it is OK? It is going to be hard, difficult, and close to impossible. But not impossible if it is meant to be things can work out if you are both willing to compromise without putting the children at risk emotionally and physically. Communication is key here and being very clear about what you want and expect from a mate. Love is found on the Internet daily but it doesn't always pan out. Only you can answer the "am I just so lonely I want it to" part. It sounds like a little more soul searching is needed on your part, perhaps he was looking for a pen pal and you take it as he is looking for a mate. So ask yourself and him some hard questions. Good Luck!

I think love can be found and is found in sometimes the strangest places or the last place you look.
The only thing you have to ask yourself is this.....are u able to deal with a long distance relationship. And if this relationship progresses, will you or he be willing to relocate to be together?
I know long distance relationships are very complicated, but if two people love one another enough, anything is possible.
I wouldnt limit myself to just him right now though. He may work out, and then again, he may not. Just keep your mind and your heart open at this point until you are for sure this aussie guy is who you really want. He apparently is good for your mentality at the moment so by all means roll with it.
But......keep an open heart. Dont close yourself off to other oppurtunity just on a possibility. The love of your life may bump into you tomorrow. Dont limit yourself.
Good luck and happy dating wherever it may be! :)

Online is safe because you can be whoever you choose to be. Unless the two of you have met and spent time together he's probably being what you need or want him to be. He may even not be a guy at all. You are lonely it sounds. Try face to face relationships and don't worry the right one is out there somewhere, let him find you. Desperate can be dangerous to you and your children. When dating a man who is willing to also put your children first, then and only then do you know you got the right one.

I know a lot of women that have found love online. One of my very good friends just got back from meeting a guy that she has been talking to online and they are very happy. The meeting went great and she is looking forward to moving closer to him. Another friend has been married for 2 yrs to a guy that she met online. The important thing is to have some face time before you make a final decision.

Hi, and I want you to sit back and read what you wrote----then act as if it came from someone else---what would you say??? Just what are your expectations from a man thousands of miles away??? You have no idea of who or what this man is---despite what goodness he says about himself. I'll bet he might be fishing for info that will allow him to steal your identitiy--use your cards and credit---all illegally. He probably has lots of lonely women on the hook---sweet talking info out of them---drop him--say goodbye---get moving NOW !! You should only meet people face to face and even then, be wary of them---never invite them home or go with them---until you write down car license plates, phone numbers, and identification info. You have 2 kids to worry about---join up with some other moms and mingle with them, join a museum or art guild, do something local and face to face--you will meet a man soon enough---till then, check your appearance and review your interests...be a good talker and listener. Your kids come FIRST--you must work so learn to divy up your time wisely---GOOD LUCK AND SMILE

I really think so. Ive never used an online dating site but in your situation and in millions of peoples situations, i think its a good idea! People on there are serious about relationships like you are. Youd never know if a guy was really serious meeting him on the street. Go through a trusted, well known dating site. Just look at all the success stories!! I wish the best for you and your children!

I suppose you can but I would not trust it because there are to many WEIRDOS out there. Get one that you can get to meet in your own area. You have 2 children to think of. I raised 5 children alone and it never crossed my mind of meeting someone but it did happen and he was from my home town. We have now been married for 18 years and we are extremely happy. Just enjoy your children for now, You will meet someone, but if you continue on the net with relationship or another, please be extremely careful. GOOD LUCK

I think love can be found on line but I also think its rare.Some of my friends have tried it and it wasnt what they expected.Sad but true people lie all the time.You have 2 kids to worry about.On line dating can be very dangerous.Even if everything was ok with him the reality is the distance.If you stay loyal to him hoping things will work out you may just miss someone special at the store,gas station,.....
