not sure if this will help you, but i find that if a profile makes me laugh at some point, or has something in it that i can crack a joke about, it gives me something to start a conversation with. i think alot of guys are like me in that they may ...
If it looks generic you are likely to be ignored. The problem with dating sites is that they are crawling with bots designed to draw the men into paying to participate in other sites the minute you contact them. If it looks generic it's a good sig...

Debby said… - Thank you for the birthday wish! 2 hours and 8 minutes left. My daughter (3) was on her best possible behavior out at dinner tonight. I think she feels sorry for me in my advanced age! ;) Happy upcoming birthday to you. Make sure you have your fire extinguishers up to date prior to the breakfast in bed event!

thanks for your nice words.

Sarah A. said… - Hey there, Thanks for checking in on me. I most definitely appreciate it. As for how the weekend went, to be honest I'm nervous I've backslid a little...as the weekend became crazier & kind of shoved us closer. After friday happened - we ended up spending the morning in the emergency room with my son - long story but he's now better (thank God). Then bc all 3 of us were totally depleted --- we all took turns sleeping & getting a bit of rest in. Then today, we went over to my mother's condo downtown to pick up a bottle I had left the last time I was there....the two of them stayed in our car as I went up alone with just the key to her condo in my hand. Well I was followed by a woman lurking in the building (who shouldn't have been there - definitely not an owner) --- anyway she actually followed me out of the elevator & tried to enter the condo. I got inside without her getting in but then I was scared to death to go back down - didn't want to run into her - God forbid she was hiding - waiting for me.
So after that, I was just so freaked out that I pretty much fell into my ex/partner's arms.
I told him that I'm going to pick up paperwork to start filing - custody & support. While I think he's sad about it and feels hurt ---- at least at this point he understands. He told me that I need to do what I need to do & that he's sorry for pushing it to this point.
So yeah, that's where I am. What do you think?...bc frankly I feel emotionally exhausted and very confused...and then oddly relieved --- it was reallllly nice to have him there to hug me after the condo event & mellow my nerves.

Clare said… - Hi OaklandMama! You will get a lot of great support here. There are some people in the same boat, who have recently split and are trying to cope with transitioning into single parenthood. I know it doesn't seem that way, but I hope that in time you will come to appreciate being a single parent, as i have. Welcome!

Forgiveness
Ms Single Mama's blog post yesterday (The Rebound Year) got me thinking. First off, I am in The Rebound Year big time! It's been 5 months since my husband of 9 years decided to leave. In these months of grieving and healing, I've reached out for anything that could assuage the loneliness and hurt. I've turned to writing (both publicly and privately) about my anger and sadness. I've opened myself up to strangers,… Continue

Some days are just the pits...
Today is just one of those days. My parents came to visit this weekend, and the house was so full and alive. Now the boys have gone to their dads house and I miss them. I miss my old life. I have to remind myself that I was lonely when I was married.
In the last few days it's really hit me how much I've had to let go. I wanted the happy family, the vacations, the backyard barbeques...I wanted the family that we had. We've been separated for 5 months and it feels like it's getting harder, not ea… Continue

You gotta have friends
In the months since my separation I have tried to surround myself with friends. I’ve reached out to people and enthusiastically embraced it when people reached out to me. I’ve painted the town red (and sometimes felt the worse for it the next day…I’m not in my twenties anymore).
But with all these new people in my life, the lesson that has hit home the hardest is that you have to figure out who the true friends are.
Lesson #1 – BFFs do not grow on trees. You have to meet and hang out with a lot… Continue
