Week for dates - just been on mine

[mistressmiggins]

Just been on a date - first one for over 10 years

been chatting on line for over 2 months & met for lunch today

I was worried that I would feel upset after the date or that I was a little overweight
Instead HE was the one apologising for his weight and kept going on about his ex.

enjoyed his company & felt at ease....he was very charming & chatty
nice as a friend is nothing else - no initial spark BUT when we chat its easy and enjoyable

made me realise Ive moved on more than some people (i.e this bloke) and that Im doing OK

made me realise that I dont need anyone at the moment and that when Im ready it will be good for me - not going to compromise myself - my family is most important

ex was waiting with kids when I got back & he complimented my hair & definitely gave me the once over - his hair was so grey and he needed a haircut & definitely hasnt started going to the gym

I felt sad when he left & wanted to run & beg him to come back BUT I wonder whether thats just cos I hate having weekends without the children

all in all think today has been a good experience - hope everyone else's dates go well or that all you other single mums have had a good day

Just saw this in active convos so thought I'd pop my head in -sounds like you got a lot from the experience (all positive). Most of all, you now know how much you've moved on.

Onwards and upwards for mistressmiggins!

I'm glad you had a good time, even if they're wasnt a spark it's still good to make friends. I've met someone online too.
wasnt expecting anything to come of it perhaps just a friendship but we mert up 2 weeks ago and there was a spark! and we like each other so fingers crossed something mite come of it.
you sound like you're coping well, maybe you could make plans on weekends to fill ur days when childeren arent there.

the funniest thing is we went to the good old Swan Whittington and I told him how Id been a couple of times with "some women I chatted to on the internet" and he said how weird!!

am seeing him again cos if nothing else, he was a really nice bloke
flashy car, likes skiiing and sounds like a fab dad as he has sole custody of his child after his wife ran off

Glad it went well MM. I think it is worth giving it another date-- my blind date three weeks ago didn't bowl me over at first, i think he was just quite nervous and gabbling (as was I...)
But quite liked him on the second date and had our third date last night which was fantastic. Sometimes people do grow on you it seems!
Anyway keep us updated
