[quote=Anonymous]Divorced mom of two and been this way for 5 years.  I've been dating someone for over a year now.  I'm early 40s, he's late 40s, we both have kids.  I had a bunch of 3-6 month "relationships" before my current BF.  In between I went on a lot of dates.  Happy to get out of the house, and when it became too much for my ego to take, I'd just pull back and take a break for a while. I dated younger and older.

Because of our mutual schedules and a bit of distance...things have moved very (!!) slowly. I went on a lot of dates to find him.

Be open to the possibilities and explore all options.  Look at it as just getting out and being social.  That's my best advice.  It took several years and my kids getting older (school, activities, etc) for me to just meet more people.  The more my married friends got to know me, the more I heard about this single dad or this divorced guy.  As common as single-parenthood is, I find it still makes married people uncomfortable.  I had to step out of my comfort zone a lot, but I did it b/c the alternative (staying home alone) were not appealing either.[/quote]
