[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am a divorced mom of two elementary school kids, and who is 41.  I tried online dating last year and found it exhausting. Trying to line up lunch dates or early evening dates while kids were with their father or in other childcare situations was tough. I didn't find anyone lasting or worth my time.

I took a break.

My mom keeps harping on me to get back out there and keep going...that I will get older and older and less attractive with age (thanks Mom!). I would like to work on myself first (mentally, physically, financially) before retrying.

It's tough. Some guys will not date you because you have baggage. Some will just look for a hookup and once you put out, disappear.

As far as the can't be alone...I have good days and bad days. Some days I LOVE being alone without a partner. I can do what I want or whatever, without having to check with someone. Or I can get myself off and head off to sleep quickly. Other days, I miss companionship and love.

Of course I have my kids and they love me and I love them, but it's a different kind of companionship/relationship.

Hang in there and see how you do. Wait until you are ready and if it's not working for you...take a step back and wait.[/quote]
