Single parents over 35: Were/Are you Single? Do you worry that you are/were becoming jaded to finding a mate?

I am 37, single mom of 6-year-old . Though I know I have a lot to offer, I worry that I am becoming too "specific" in the type of mate I want. I know I have much to offer, but I also know I am in no way perfect.





I worry that the person out there for me might just pass me by, and I think I might be becoming jaded.





I look in the mirror and I don't look old. But, I'm starting to realize that I don't look old "to me". How do I appear to others.





Does a single parent automatically lose points?


Do I just wait to date and find my love after my son has started his single life?





Are you single?


What is your dilemma?





Did you find someone?

You're not alone, you're not becoming jaded and you are definitely in an age group that appeals to a lot of men on both sides of your age group. When you look in the mirror you don't see what others see because what they see is perceived along with who you are and your personality. As for single parents losing points? Bahhhh, not true. Let me make you feel better.





I'm 53 tomorrow, I've been married 3x in my life, I have 2 sons 24 %26amp; 27 who I have raised alone since they were 11 %26amp; 13. My last marriage ended in 1993 and since then I have had 1 serious relationship and more dates than I cared to keep track of. Being single and finding yourself a little older is by no means a deterent to others and in no way excludes you from most peoples lists of who's who in the dating scene. In fact, I've found that both my age and my personal choice to remain unattached has opened the windows of opportunity in ways I could never has foreseen at my age.





So, you're okay, I'm okay and the world needs okay people like us and you're at an age that excites most men and you're expierenced. If you're doing anything wrong at all, I suspect it's not making yourself more available. So get out there and let those men know they're missing a great opportunity to know a wonderfully vibrant young woman.





Best Wishes!!

Reply:I'm SO glad you put my own thoughts into words! I'm 33, mom of a 5 year old, and have pretty much come to the sad conclusion that I'm destined to be without a "significant other" in this life...


Marriage isn't something I'm sure that I'm even interested in, but having a long-term relationship is something deeply important and fulfilling to me. The older I get, the less chance I'm going to find someone more-or-less normal, as the good ones get snatched up early. When I look around these days, the only ones looking back are the married-but-looking guys, or the ones that have a quality that I consider to be a deal-breaker. Now believe me, I'm the first to admit that physically, I'm no prize. But I'm not a horrible person, and I have a decent job. I'm not after a guy's wallet, and I'm not a cheat. If I can't find a good guy now, how's it gonna be 10 years from now???





Hang in there, sister.
