The Dating Dilemna

Posted on by

Eventually you are going to want to date again. When I first got divorced I thought I was ready to date but I quickly found out that neither Hailey or I was ready.

When you step back into the dating world you have to be prepared for the effect it will have on your relationship with your child. This is a very confusing time for kids, they still believe in happily … Continue reading →

Divorced Men and Women on Dating

Recently a study of 2000 people was done as part of a promo for the movie” Crazy, Stupid Love” and it was discovered that divorced men are more eager to remarry than divorced women. 47% of divorced men were ready to remarry compared with only 20% of divorced women.

Lance’s New Love and Carmen’s New Promise

Forgive me. I can’t help myself. I realize that they are many women in America who nixed Tour de France champ Lance Armstrong from their hottie list when he broke Sheryl Crow’s heart (after splitting from his wife and mother of his three children), but there’s something about the guy that compels me to keep blogging about his life. I’ve written about his charitable work, his attempt at conquering the New York City Marathon and his rumored “bo-mance” with Matthew McConaughey. Now, it seems Armstrong has moved on from McConaughey and is romancing a new woman—-fashion designer Tory Burch. Cycling … Continue reading →

Why Would They Want to Get Married? Single men in their 50s are … Continue reading →

Finding Where You Fit In

Since being divorced I feel like I am in a constant state of limbo. Most of my good friends are married now, while others are continuing to enjoy the single life. I am no longer married, but my single life is far different from that of my friends. There are times when I envy both parties. I long for the companionship and support that marriage could bring, and I envy those single friends who can do what they want when they want without a care in the world. I am a mother first, and as such, my priority is to … Continue reading →

The Fallacy of the Century

Today as I was sitting in one of my classes the women behind me got on the topic of single mothers. The semester just started on Monday so we are all still trying to get to know each other. Most of them don’t know that I am divorced and a single parent myself. While I’m not ashamed of this, it’s not something I tend to bring up in regular conversation. As they were talking one of the girls made a comment that really hit home. She said, “Good guys just don’t date single moms. The bad ones will, but the … Continue reading →
