Hi everybody:)
well thats me been single now for 2 years. ive been asked out on a date, satarday nite and im bricking it! Lol!
Any advice...its been a very long time since i had a 'first date' xx
Have a good time yummymummy.
How exciting yummymummy. I went on my first date a little while ago. Anna's tips are great, but for me the best one is have fun and be yourself.
What are you going to do?
Thanks for the advice:)
it went well, was really nervous but soon relised so was he! We just went out for a few drinks, i stuck to what anna said though and didnt drink too much!
Have had a few phone convos since, he wants to meet up again next week:)

That sounds nice, Yummymummy, enjoy...that is presuming you want to see him again?
Yeah i think i do, its took me a very long time to even get to the point of wanting to meet someone new. Thought ex had put me off for life, lol. He seems a nice guy, hes a single dad, with a daughter the same age as my eldest, so suppose that makes things a little easier. Just going to take it really slowly and see what happens:)

Great plan Yummymummy23, take your time, there is no rush at all.
Glad you stuck to the plan of not drinking too much, I would keep that in mind over the next few months!
Keep us updated (if you wish!)
There is life after divorce! Best thing is to proceed with caution particularly when young children are involved.
Glad you had fun, it's good to know that it's possible. Hope you enjoy it whatever it turns out to be.
Gosh it certainly is possible. My ex was the msr despicable person imaginable. A liar a cheat and horrid to our kids but since i freed mysedldf i have had the time of my life and am in the process of remarrying to an amazing person. There is hope for us all. Believe and be strong.
Ahh, Good for you, I can't imagine it but I'm certainly going to get out more and have a life. Yay
There is life after divorce - I have just gone and done something I said I would never ever do again - I GOT ENGAGED X X X
Congratulations! Very best wishes for the future. I'm getting married in December and I can't wait! It so exciting, I'm very pleased for you.xxx
Congratulations:) theres hope for us all! I never thought id ever go near another man again either! But currently in my little happy bubble! Think it will be a while before wedding bells are ringing for me though! Lol! So happy for you xx
Thanks yummymummy there really is hope. Ive left the sad miserable lying cheating and abusive ex so far behind its like a lifetime ago. I have found the strength to get through and nw have the mst amazing and beautiful young lady my life. And unlike my work shy lazy sponging ex my intended is hRd workng honest and kind.life is full of surprises.enjoy.xxxxxx

Congratulations happymamma on your engagement, you must be so excited
Glad that everything is going so well for you too yummymummy23.
Thanks sally thats very kind of you.
Lots of good news on this thread, congratulations to all of you!
Yes Louise, its amazing that when times seem like they couldnt get any harder that things can turn around so quickly and the light at the end of the tunnel that you never thought you'd reach suddenly emerges in glorious technicolour. Hope springs eternal as they say.
Thanks all I dont think i will be doing weddings just yet but its a commitment from someone who I would trust with my life and after what i have been through x
Well done happy mamma, its just the best feeling in the world when you find someone honest, decent and kind so that you can trust them and just as importantly they can trust you. Very best of luck.
Thanks Jonesinho
been a long time and I keep being told 3rd time lucky (no i havent been married 3 times - just 3rd long term relationship)
After being to hell and back Im back on track and I know dating again was as hard and i think i have only just over the last few years completely trusted this person. Not in a bad way but would he beat me like the others? I never thought he would and ive never felt threatened by him, but the fear of him walking away has now subsided - think if he was going to walk he would have done it a long time ago and now the ring well I know hes going nowhere x
One peace of advice when dating, no matter how much you like the person play it cool - my man said after a few weeks i started to come across as desperate which really shocked me I sulked for a bit but he was right (think its because i knew a good thing when i saw it lol)
HM
It's great that you took your time to make sure he was the right one for you.
Aw...happy mamma...I am so pleased for you.its so uplifting to hear such a wonderful tale of happiness through adversity. Hold your head up high girl and embrace each and every day of your newfound bliss. May it last forever girl, you surely deserve that.
Thanks Jonesinho - this smile will last forever x
Yummymummy23 have you seen him again?
Im seeing him tomorrow, going out for dinner:) still early days and just taking my time and seeing what happens. He seems really nice though so fingers crossed. Jx
good luck yummy mummy. Hope it all goes well.
Good luck x
Hope you enjoy your dinner Yummymummy
Thanks guys:) xx
How did it go yummymummy
Hello Yummymummy23.
Top Tip - Don't drink too much!
Just remember that he should be as nervous as you, it is not all about how he sees you. You are checking him out too!
Top Tip - Don't talk about the past
He doesn't need to know about previous relationships, at this point it is none of his business.
Top Tip - don't cover up any warning signs, if you don't like something take note of it.
Top Tip - decide what time you will come home (not too late) and make sure you stick to it, however much fun you are having!
Top Tip - Have fun!
