Dating After Baby... Was/Is It Hard?

veevee

I'm not pregnant nor do I have any kids yet? This is a question for the single mommies and mothers (pregnant or not) who aren't with the bd but have a boyfriend or husband.

After you had your child was it hard getting back into the dating game? How long after baby did you wait?

It wasn't hard, you just look for different things. I didn't start dating until my boys were a year old, & I dated him for 8 months before I really introduced him to my kids. They had seen him, but he was just a friend to them. I wouldn't let him near the boys until I knew it would last for awhile. He and I were together until the boys were almost 8. When I started dating my fiance now, I did the samething, more to protect the boys, but he and them clicked immediately, & they are inseparable now. I worked with him, & we would go out just as friends, both of us had gone through a bad marriage, so we leaned on each other. Our friends figured we were a couple before we figured it out. I think its the best way to be in a relationship, & he's my ever after.

It took me about a year and a half to two years. I wanted the right guy to be there for my daughter. Her dad was a let down to her, I can't take another man doing that to her. I've had a few step dads in my life. My dad was never there, and my step dads was all jerks... except the one I got now. I didn't want my daughter going through that. If I was talking to someone I wouldn't introduce them to my daughter till I knew for sure. And I met my man I have now and he's the best to her. Better than her own dad, just like my step dad. and now were having a daughter together.
