Have I given up on Love?
I'm a single mom and work hard in and out of my home. I have only been on a very few dates since My child's father and I went separate ways about 9 years ago. I started dating someone over the summer but found within a few months that we were not compatible and let him go. It's not like I purposely go out looking for men but the few I've come into contact with have not met my expectations. I'm a simple person looking for a simple man who knows how to respect and honor me and my child. Not to mention a job. I'm starting to feel as though there is no such thing

I guess everyone is looking for someone who will meet their expectations. Given that as a valid statement, who will shed the blood on the humble alter? Now you are carrying a living baggage and also want his expectations to be met by the poor slave (since when was slavery abolished?); Aren't you alone expecting too much in this world, sister?

Ladydee the problem may not be in the person you meet, it may be you. You are probably scaring the men you come in contact with. Slow down, let that special person get to know you and then your son. You will find yourself not working that hard. And he may just come when you least espect it.Love is the one thing that never end. Think about it. Answered by lilyflyAge : 34 1 month ago Edit Delete

Am I a woman scorn, yes! Do I judge every man according to my bad experiences, no, but I will be on guard until "He" proves to be trustworthy. As far as time goes, It has been about one or two years in between before moving on the "next one" My child will soon be 8 and I can honestly say that I have probably dated about 3 people since my baby was born. |

You may have given up on love if you expect that a man will be able to meet all of your expectations. You will need to reevaluate how much time you will give the men you date before deciding that they don't meet your expectations. Being a single mother with a child reduces the number of available men willing to enter a relationship. Maybe in place of respect and honor you may look for love and care for you and your child. In your current situation you should probably be looking for friendship that might eventually evolve into love. The "get to know you" process will probably be much longer than when you were single. Don't give up on love and it will eventually find you. Answered by ManAge : 49 1 month ago Edit Delete

I don’t expect a man to meet ALL my expectations. But understand that I don’t go out purposely searching for love, it comes to me. For example, my last relationship was with a man I had known & met through a family member of his. He approached me, told me how he felt, I in turn told him that it would be best that we get to know each other SLOWLY & in due time we can see where it can go. After maybe 2 months I thought that it would be ok & date a bit more seriously but then he became possessive, jealous & questioned my every move. I am an open book and have no secrets especially with the person I’m with, I believe in communicating my thoughts, feelings & experiences just so there are no questions later. I sat down with him told him how I felt & gave him another chance to which he didn’t change & made the decision to walk away from it all. |
