So, I guess I should give a little background information to give you an idea of who I am and what you are in for. I am a 34-year-old single mother. I was married for a few years. The first couple years weren't so bad, but it went downhill real fast. The last year was awful, so I got out as quick as I could.
I moved to a new town, got my degree, a good job and a house for me and my daughter. The last several years my life has revolved around making a good life for me and my daughter. Now my daughter is hitting the preteen years, and I'm beginning to feel like life has been passing me by. I've gotten into a deep cavernous rut, and I'm trying desperately to get out of it.
I've started going out and meeting people. It's nice to have a social life (although it isn't much right now), but I'm struggling to find my way through the whole dating scene. I've met a few guys who I thought were promising, but they turned out being big duds.
First there was a guy I met online. We talked all the time, and he seemed like a real good guy. Unfortunately, the more we talked the less I liked. He was on a path to no where, and I wasn't up for going back down that road.
Then there was the guy I met in the bar. Yeah, I know, meeting a guy in the bar is never a real promising start, but I'm yet to find a way to hook-up with a man at church or at the local hardware store. So, I met a guy at a bar. He was cute and funny, but after our second date I realized he was a drunk and a sexist pig. I'll pass.
Oh, and then there was an old boy friend who looked me up. We chatted for a while until I found out he was married. Not into that. I passed.
So now I'm back to square one. Single and looking. Now I just have to figure out where to look and an easier way to weed through the bad and find a good one. Wish me luck!
