No, really...where do I FIND A GUY? I find that as I get older, it is harder and harder to meet a nice guy. Screw the whole "single mom" thing...that is an excuse out of shape moms use. Guys don't care that I am a mom, really. I am still as hot as I was before. I fit into the same clothes, my ass hasn't fallen and I didn't get fat. Outside of the screaming kid chasing me yelling "mommmmmmm...buy me this toy" in the mall, it isn't obvious that I AM a mom (although I readily volunteer it at every chance).
Here is my problem - most of my friends are still married. For now ;) They aren't dying to hang out with me lately...they prefer to hang out with their "families"...pffft. Screw that. I am too old to go to bars and clubs. Seriously, some of these kids could be MY kids (had I starting pushing babies out at 16)...it is creepy.
I am not against dating younger guys, in fact most of the guys I am interested in are in their 20's...some are in their early 20's...I refuse to date 40 year olds...they seem so OLD and STABLE and I am not looking for stable. I was married. I was a wife. I am a mom. I don't need stable in my free time. I need fun, carefree...a chance to go back a bit...live a little.
So what do I do? Online dating has been a bust. I am creeped out and refuse to introduce anyone to my kid. Half because I need to protect him, half because I am afraid his stubborn, crazy streak will scare men away. I think I am going to start hanging out at Home Depot or Best Buy in tight jeans with a confused look on my face. I am sure some guy will ask if I need help...
If you have a better suggestion, post in comments. I am the east coast mama, fyi...in case that helps.
