Isn’t it a glorious feeling?! It was actually right when I felt as you described that Soldier (referred to on my blog) came back into my life. I too was frightened to fall. Then it happened and well… it didn’t work out but I hold no regrets. Honestly I believe that we subconsciously seek out those who will help us to grow. I am still mourning but grateful for the experience.

See what happens. Hugs!

I did the online dating thing at the beginning of this year. I ended up feeling a lot like you did. Exhausted. It got to the point where every night I didn’t have my son, I was on a date. I met some cool people, but no one special.

Your cross-continent friend sounds promising. Does he have the option to head your way if feelings were mutual?

I also love the ending! I used to feel the same way…. I can’t do this without a man. Don’t get me wrong: we all need men, and I’m grateful that my kid has two grandpas, an uncle, and good of male friends.

But on a day to day basis, we’re doing a damn good job solo.

What a great post! Love the ending. Your online dating story was funny, btw. (sorry to hear he was smelly!) As for booty calls - I’ve done them, I don’t hate them, but I do miss spooning. There’s something about sleeping over that is so much nicer than just a hit-it-and-quit-it roll in the hay.

This is a part of your life, you are in control of it, and you can make whatever you want out of it, which I think you are. You are anything but desperate; taking your time to contemplate, be picky, linger, dream and choose - choose to enjoy your life, and choose when you want to move on, choose who to let in, and choose how much. I admire your strength and how good of a job you’re doing.
