I am a single mother who works full time and goes to college part time....my friends and family think I am crazy that I do not want a boyfriend. I do not see it being a positive in my life at the moment, between my son, work and school my time is so limited and the last thing I need to do is have a distraction in my life. Is it normal for a 29 yr old to have no intentions of having a boyfriend? It have been single for two years!

Yes I don't think there is anything wrong with what you are feeling. I commend you for keeping your goals and your son your priority. You know what you want in life and you also know that a relationship will always be there when you're done reaching your educational goals. On the other hand, I'm also sure your friends are just looking out for you because they want you to be happy. Keep doing what you're doing and tell your friends that you have other priorities in life right now. When the right time comes, you'll get back out there and have that relationship if that's what you want.

No, I don't see anything wrong with that.
You have a lot going on in your life right now, most of which is more important than finding some guy to settle down with. With a child involved, priorities are different.
When the time is right you'll know. Until then, be happy with how your life is currently and look forward to what ever comes your way.
Besides .. relationships/love always seem to happen when you least expect it and almost always when you're not looking for it to happen.
Good Luck

You should be the Role Model for every single parent out their.
Putting your kids first and being able to take care of your own business first is far more important than a boyfriend.
Thank You and I'd say good luck but you won't need it. You have a plan and higher principles you'll do great and so will your children.

If you are happy with your life then there isnt anything wrong with you being single. You are divorced for whatever reasons and you are making a fresh new start and when your ready to date again its your decision live your life be happy and when your ready you will know when the time will be for that special man.

Nothing wrong at all. You have a full life, and apparantly have no time to give to a relationship. You're happy and content....What more can you ask for? Enjoy and appreciate your independence and freedom. If and when the time is right, it will happen. Dont EVEN give it a 2nd thought! You are truly one in a million!

it is unusual to find a woman like you because everyone else is so focused on finding a man (or a woman) getting married and having kids. if you don't want a man then don't get one. there's nothing wrong with that. it means that you understand that life is not all about getting married, having kids, and then you die. you actually want something outside of the norm and that's a good thing. don't let anyone's opinion of your life mess you up. maybe they are secretly jealous because they see what they COULD have done. you know the saying...'misery loves company.'

This is probably the best situation you could be in --finish school first--a boyfriend will only complicate your life right now......and you might just end up with more kids and a degree that will take you 10 yrs to finish!!!!!!

Yes completely normal,It just means your independent. Independence is great. I think its awesome that you do all that and know you don't need anyone to do it for you. My girlfriend told me that she alwayz likes to think that she can stand on her own and that if a guy wants to come hold her hand and help her through things then that was great. but if he lets go he better not expect her to fall. I alwayz Loved that about her.Good Luck!!

Don't worry about what everyone else thinks. All that matters is that you and your son are happy. If you happen to meet someone who fits into your life somehow then so-be-it, but if not, who cares! You are happy with your life as it is and that is super.
