[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]single with a child.  long relationship just ended.  trying to get over it.  really miss the companionship.  trying to date...been on match, okcupid.  met 8 men so far.  nothing clicked yet.  trying to be more open minded and agreed to go on a second date with someone i met two weeks ago. thought it was ok but had a hard time really seeing it...still do so expectation not too high.

i know it's sort of a numbers game....but will be hard to keep this up if i meet 20 men and still nothing clicks.  it's not unpleasant to meet for coffee/drink exactly...but it's sort of exhausting and just kind of disappointing.  a few times i really liked the men on email.  different in person, which is why i always push to meet fairly quickly.  also hard to carve out time with a child.

how long does this take people?  i know if i meet someone i really like it will be worth it...but feeling rather discouraged now.  probably will take a break for the holidays...but also depressing to head into the holidays alone![/quote]

Stop dating for long-term fulfillment and start dating for plain good fun.  Yes going out on dates can be exhausting if you're not enjoying yourself.  If chatting over coffee is not fun then stop making dates to meet for coffee.  Make a date to go bowling, skeet-shooting, gambling, jogging...whatever.  Go out to have fun don't just go out to get to know someone.[/quote]
