First date after my divorce. I would say that classifies as exciting.
Oooohhhh. That does sound exciting! How was it?0 -

Very good, went out to a dinner show doing Buddy Holly. We had a real nice time.4 -
I've been divorced 8 years now and still no date. All the single women are involved with married men or young enough to be my daughter!3

I've also not had a date since my divorce. But it has only been 2 years. Everyone I know is either married or way younger than me0

It's HARD out there! Hopefully you'll find someone soon!0 -
I have been single for 2 years. I have had a few first dates but no one I wanted to have a second date with.. I want someone who is going to add value in my life and my daughters. I don't believe in dating for the sake of dating or not to be alone. I am pretty content being on my own and just spending time with my daughter..8

^^ This 100%. When I date it’s to add value to my life. I’m quite content with being alone. Do I feel lonely? Sometimes, but I won’t get involved in a relationship just not to be alone.

Same.
I have been trying the online dating and I make that clear pretty early on.
I also refuse to live with someone before marriage. I make that clear, too. I know in this day and age, people are all about living together first..... but what if things don't work out? And he leaves? And later someone else moves in?
I refuse to have a revolving door of daddy figures for my daughter. I don't want her to feel rejected by anyone she sees as dad.
Her own dad already walked away.
I have a lot of dealbreakers and I was told I am too harsh. But this is my life and my daughter's life being impacted. And if I want to be picky as hell, I will be. I don't NEED to be with anyone...9 -
I am newly single after a bazillion years of marriage. Yay dating. The last time I dated tinder was what we used to start a fire.9

I would also rather be single than in a relationship with the wrong person. This is also why I have been single for 12 years and probably forever.2

Most single women in these parts are dating older/younger married men and the young and impressionable. Why it's just so much easier to NOT.2 -

I love this!! I have a 6 month rule when it comes to my daughter, no one gets to meet her or even come over.
And I have been told I need to lower my standards and stop expecting so much from people. The moment I feel like something is off, I call them out and walk away..6 -

Being with the wrong person is emotional suicide.
Good for you! T1DCR 👏👏👏9 -

Lowering expectations for whose benefit? The WALL stays up.

You are correct in keeping your standards high. When it comes to children there is no such thing as too high.4 -

I wish more people felt this way. It would save a lot of people from getting into relationships with time wasters.

If I understand dating and relationships correctly, the living together part is for those that don't have kids to worry about. I thought it was common for parents not to move in with someone, while they were dating. Is this not the case?Mama_runs_slow wrote: »Mama_runs_slow wrote: »I have been single for 2 years.

I also thought this was normal as well. Though the idea of a single warning sign, and you walk seems a bit extreme. Doesn't everyone have a warning sign or two, that people see? I thought that was just a part of puzzle pieces working together to fit with each other?
Btw, if anyone's wondering where these questions are coming from, I've never been in a relationship. Well...outside a 6 month fling in high school. As a result, I don't have a lot of the knowledge that the rest of humanity seems to. Hence why I ask.3 -
Never never lower your standards. I did that because I hated being alone and it almost cost me my life. Took a solid year of constant therapy to get through everything I went through and dealt with.
For the first time in my life I can honestly say that I am mostly happy being alone and completely independent.7
