HI,

iv'e been single now since my pregnancy and still am at the moment,. I dont get time to go out very often and meet other people.

I am hoping to gain a new relationship within the future at some point, however it seems very difficult, in terms of trust, time, my childs response/behaviour (2 year old).

Anybody in a similar position??

Hi pink lilly, my daughter is now 17, but I do remember being in your position, I think the best people to go on dates with is friends of friends or colleagues.

It is unlikely that you will meet somebody whilst out clubbing or in the pub, however joining hobby groups tends to attract more motivated and dedicated men.

Have a look at our article on Dating Again.

You mention your childs response. This I don't think you need to worry about at this point, every relationship is different and presumably you will meet any dates without your daughter around and when the time is right you will know it and you daughter will enjoy any attention lavished on her!

i find this a bit less daunting - meeting up with like minded people and hope there is somebody nice there!

Hi pink lilly, just think about it as meeting new people, not finding a 'life partner', you don't want to rush into anything, like you said, just have a bit of 'you' time Smile
