You should be just fine given you have a good personality and aren't overly picky.
I'm a single father around your age and the online dating thing hasn't provided me many good results. Too many picky people and I feel like I'm on a job interview when talking with them online.
Good Luck
Online dating sucks for men. Try cultural events.
That is what I've been doing lately.

Keep this fantasy in your head an don't let it creep in to real life. If it goes for real, the consequences could be ugly for everyone involved.

So that’s where I am. He didn’t break things off but he really does feel hurt. How do I make him realize that he’s NOT the lesser man and that it’s him I want an exclusive relationship with?
Prove it to him however you would normally do it. If in your heart you feel like you should shower him with affection....do it. If you feel you should send him a nice card expressing your feelings while hoping he would like to continue dating....do it.
Just be genuine.
If nothing comes of it, oh well. You gave it your best shot and that is all you can do.
Good Luck!!

After that, meeting someone with a child is just normal and you are only limiting your pool of potential partners by being turned off by it.
I'm sure there are women out there without kids that probably want nothing to do with me just because of my child, and I'm fine with that. I'd rather meet someone that understands and respects my life just like I do for them.
But at the end of the day, I suspect I'll be more attracted to a single mother since we'll share a lot of common interests (since our children are such a huge part of our lives).
Wow. Where are you single dad? Or Wishing I met you before writing initially writing this.
Ooops. Forgot to login.
I'm in VA

LOL. Great point
Another point, and one I'm not sure if already covered, is he was probably tight lipped the night he saw you because he was with his friends.
I can't imagine walking in to a place, seeing a girl I've been dating with another guy, walking up to her to talk, and then explaining to my friends that this is a girl I have been dating. I'm sure I'd get some uncomfortable questions from them.
So I'd too just play it off that night.

Anonymous wrote:What's the difference between a "crush" and an "emotional affair?" Off hand, I'd say that the latter is something that drains emotional energy from the marriage, and this seems to qualify -- even if it was unreciprocated.
In my opinion, a crush is something one sided. Like the OP's situation. She never acted on it.
An emotional affair is when both parties are communicating in a way that is not appropriate (meaning one, or both, are married or in another relationship). These can be texts, emails, phone calls, and hanging out where they flirt and express feelings to one another. Nothing physical.
Anonymous wrote:I get it. I once dated a guy and after our second date I found out he was also dating at least one other girl. I shouldn't have cared, but I want a guy to like me so much when we go out that he can't even think about going on a date with somebody else. He was a great guy and had good long term potential, but I just couldn't bring myself to not be #1 and to date somebody who wasn't totally crazy about me. Oh well. My loss, but that's the way I work.
I have no doubt that if the sexes were reversed here that nobody would have a problem with OP's behavior. Her only mistake was being seen out with the other guy.
I think the only 'mistake' is the fact she didn't have a crystal ball to read #1's mind about his feelings. That is just the way the world works. You live and learn.
If it affects her, maybe next time she'll be more open hoping to avoid such a situation again.
No harm. No foul.

You used that phrase in describing a woman who's only good for fucking. You were talking about her personality? Um, sure you were.
You are reading WAYYY too much in to that statement.

People shouldn't be valued by their sexual history. Your certainly welcome to say and believe whatever you want, but know it makes you look like an idiot.
You are welcome to quote me where I said that I am using the term damaged goods because of sexual history.
Good job putting words in my mouth though.
Maybe slow down on the dating and focus on something else?
It always seems the right one comes around when you are not actively looking.

Damaged goods is sexist?
Because both men and women can be labeled as damaged goods.
You take online forums just a little too serious. Especially because I was trying to clarify something for someone. Not talking down to the OP.

You're contradicting yourself here. If the "woman you marry" and "woman you fuck" are 2 different women, then why is your husband having sex with you?
I took it as:
The woman you would marry (and of course have sex with)
The woman you fuck (and only fuck. Never would you marry this girl. Damaged goods).
