We should start a thread for dating and single mom life. My kids are adults now, but the stories will last a life time. It's also more difficult to date as woman in their 40's, it's different now than when we were all dating back in the day.
Right! It's so crazy. I literally have no idea what I'm doing out there. I was married for 23 years so I'm defnitely out of practice. lol. And it's even worse with the apps. I hate the dating apps so much. And I live in a tiny rural town so it's really hard to meet people.
I tried Hinge and Tinder... Lol. Hinge I got a bunch of younger men from the age of 18 to 30. Tinder I got some younger guys, but mostly guys closer to my age or a little older. The first one I met was... not for me lol. The second one took me on a date that consisted of a motorcycle ride, a holiday party that included meeting his entire NA group, and meeting his daughter and then for days afterward he sent videos about relationships and communication. We are all broken because we've all lived lives before dating again and now we are all out here trying it all out again in an age that no one actually talks face to face to meet. It's literally like "You look like you can F*ck my life up, let's go get tacos, get a tattoo, and I'll read you my favorite book". I live in a rural area as well and it definitely doesn't bode well for meeting someone that hasn't already went the rounds in the towns around here and the area I live in.
