[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for this post. It made me smile :)

We have a joint custody, so DC is with me every other week. No support system - just therapy. But I think I am ready to start dating as I feel better about myself and my life after the split. 
The other poster pointed out a very important fact - I do not have a lot of time to "fish". But at the same time, I have no desire to jump into a serious relationship right away. A year ago I thought I would never start dating. Too extreme I know. I was scared and the thought of a new man in DC's life was just unfathomable.

It is amazing how some men manage to ruin it in just one sentence. Many do not even read profiles, I guess!

I am planning to join some meetup groups too. [/quote]

Every other week? You're fine. You'll be FINE. You're definitely one of the fortunate ones. If you and your ex have a decent co-parenting relationship, even better. I totally understand the intimidation with getting back out there. My mom is the one who was adamant that I needed to date and hang with my friends. She started taking DC every weekend and insisting that I go out with friends and to date. I was probably better off taking a year off like you, [b]but everyone (from colleagues to friends) had a friend for me. I met a few guys during that time that I seriously clicked with, were ready to settle down, great catches.[/b] But I was scared shitless about failing again so I got busy with work, even took an overseas assignment when I realized the younger guy was the real deal and I really liked him. I started therapy last year to deal with it all, because I realized that I was the common denominator.

Hopefully you're also going out with (single) friend or two regularly. [b]My friend just got married last month to the hot guy she'd crushed on for a year at her gym. She worked up the courage to invite him out for drinks and the rest is history. The two guys I've clicked with the most and dated the longest were guys I met at nightclubs (killed my rule about [/b]never taking guys in clubs seriously). As I've suggested on DCUM, go grocery shopping on weeknights. Families and women hit the supermarket on weekends, single men are out during the week. If your type of guy lives in Clarendon, or would frequent a bar on U st, consider making your way to those places. Last year, we kept a friend's dog for 6 months. That dog got me sooooo much play, omg.lol Such a natural conversation starter. Practically daily, I would end up talking to a new guy (we live in a high traffic area). I'm an attractive woman, but I'm not [i]that[/i] fine!lol But yea, best wing man ever![/quote]

OP here. Did you even read my post? 
There it is.  Absolute proof that any woman can find dozens of men to date at a moment's notice.  Any woman who says she cannot find a ton of dates is lying.[/quote][/quote]
