[quote=Anonymous]I was in a similar situation (divorced mom).  Keep dating online.  It does take a lot of energy and time, it just is what it is.  But you get out of it what you put in. For me it was not helpful to go to Meetup events or just "do what I enjoy"--all I did was meet other women (which is great for friendships) or men I wasn't interested in.  I do things I love, but it's not how I met my now new DH.

With experience and an algorithm, you'll develop better ways of assessing whether someone is worth your time. I'm glad you're giving people more than one date.  That's a service to you and them.  Today there's pressure to "know" really quickly whether you want to see someone again.  Don't self-impose that.  Take your time.

You can always back off, reduce, or take breaks, but I would say stay with it.

I'd dated a bunch and met some great guys, but hadn't really found anyone super special to me and was going to take a break.  I scheduled one more new date with someone and he ended up knocking my socks off.  5 years later, I am so glad I kept at it.[/quote]
