[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dating will be harder than you think. Your equals will be checking out the 30yr olds. Single moms are not a hot commodity. [/quote]

Seriously, this is exactly what my friends who divorced found out.  None have found any new lasting relationships.  [/quote]

Not true in my experience.  I got asked out all the time as a newly single mom.  I felt like I needed some time to regroup after my divorce and didnt date anyone for a while.  But sometimes I felt like I was wearing a big "single mom" sign around my neck.  I got hit on at my kids' schools, in my running club, at the gym, at church, at the grocrry store..... And there is nothing all that special about me.  There is life after divorce. I did end up remarrying.  We each brought two kids into our marriage and then had one together.  Primary physical custody of all the kids.  We've been married almost 20 years.[/quote]

Age may also play a factor.  My friends who divorced have not found lasting new relationships; they're in their early 40s.  Sounds like the PP may have been a bit younger at the time of her divorce.[/quote]

Little bit.  I was 33 when I remarried.  [/quote]

OK, this makes an enormous difference (to guys)    When you were getting hit on right and left, you were 30, 31 at most, right?       Big difference between 30 and 42, no matter how much yoga we do [/quote]

+1 Your situation isn't really comparable. Though unlike PPs, I do have friends who found love in their forties.[/quote]
