Im so tired of being single...
Ive been single since Makenzie was 3 months old I know it hasn't even been a year but after being with her dad for almost 2 years I miss everything that goes along with being someone.
Im on one of those dating sites and ive totally gone out of my comfort zone and have messaged guys I would never talk to and even guys who I am not super attracted to just to get to know someone and no one has messaged me back.
Feeling discuraged..I think its the holidays.
I went to a christmas thingy for our town and all these families with the mom and dad boyfriend girlfriend and there kids and here I was alone with my baby girl (normally i would be fine with it) idk just made me sad this time

    I agree with what @mythreesons not that I'm single right now "technically" but many times I sure feel like it. It's just been long road for us it's never ending. So put urself back for moment try remember why that person is no longer in your life. And maybe it will make you feel little better, or help u remember that the right person is worth the wait although it's ruff at times. Keep up the great work I'm sure it's hard being single mother.

    I remember feeling just like this. I was single for 5 years and i used to cry every xmas and new years. Its an emotional time, and it just reinforces that u dont have somebody to share it with.i also did the dating site stuff with little success. I cant offer any pearls of wisdom, but i do understand. My mum always used to say 'Lucy, stop trying to meet someone, you try so hard that you set yourself up to fail.' I hated her for saying it, but she was right. I met my husband when i wasnt even looking. Keep your head up sweetie. Xx

    My mom says the same thing. If you stop looking it will happen. I don't know how it will happen though because I never get to go out. I go to the store for food for the house and to work and thats about it. I don't have money to do anything on the weekends with Makenzie unless its free which is normally the park but now its cold (illinois) so we are home on the weekends and I sure as hell will not meet a man at home.. lol

    @Mallory27 you never know what life has for you. Stop trying. Let things come to you. I know its easier said than done, but its not impossible. My mom and dad divorced when i was 2. My mom was 26 and she had no job, no money and no where to go. At times, life was so hard for her that she felt like going back to my dad because she felt alone, but she said she found her strength in me. She worked up to 3 jobs just to make ends meet, and she never had a boyfriend or time for one. The holidays were hard. Now she is 46 years old, she has a boyfriend of 7 years and owns her own home. She is as happy as can be.
    There is time for everything, and what is destined to be will be. Don't stress yourself. Happy holidays :)

    Believe me it will come when your not looking i promise you. Same thing with getting pregnant.. most pregnancies happen when your not trying or have a "whatever happens, happens" attitude. (I know you didn't mention about the pregnant thing but I'm saying its basically the same concept.) You can't make your destiny happen any quicker, but you can enjoy the waiting period because you will find your soulmate but until then keep yourself occupied. I know many people that met their SO at a grocery store or the park. He can be anywhere. Who knows maybe your toilet will break, you call a guy in and BAM! Love at first sight :) keep your head up sweetie and be happy that you don't have to take care of an adult baby at the moment lol.
