Mom2Maddie: That flea story is too sweet, I’ve thought about it all day.

Laura: Let us know about the electrician. Start with “Hi.” And then a joke?

“Why did the lights go out?… Because they liked each other!”

Okay, that’s bad.

Single Mom Seeking – great post and discussion! Women know when we’re looking at them. My suggestion – look back and smile. That gives us an opening, or “permission” that says you are single and approachable.

As for chatting up someone in the grocery with your kids there – go fot it. The talk doesn’t have to be sexual. Just chat about whatever. The more your kids see you interact with other adults, the more they learn that’s a natural part of life. And that will take the pressure off when you happen to chat with a hot guy. It will be no big deal.

mc – too funny! I get scared to death of asking a woman out only to discover she’s way too young. I’ve never dipped into the teens, but I’ve hit on early-20s women who I thought were late 20s. (I’m 44, so I really should hold back for women over 30 or even 34)

btw – I’m a single dad and I NEVER shop at Trader Joe’s. It’s Safeway, BevMo, and the local Produce Market for me. (Now all these single women will branch out and shop at Safeway, and I’ll branch out and shop at Trader Joe, and we’ll miss each other again. lol)

CCD: Either I have men on my mind… or I’ve run out of things to talk about. Oh no.

I think I’ll post something referring to you tomorrow. I’m serious.

LauraKim and MC: You hotties!! (MC, I don’t know how my calendar got off. Yikes. Let me see if I can fix that. Thank you!)

I think meeting someone often happens at the most unexpected time and place. I also knew in my heart that the right man would come along some day and I was willing to wait.

I met my boyfriend at work—and our positions made it challenging. He’s an assistant principal and I’m a teacher. Never in my life did I think I’d fall in love with an indirect supervisor nor with someone who is much older than me.

I saw online dating as a time for me to practice being with the opposite sex: it helped me communicate with them (I’m quite shy around men), it helped me figure out what I wanted in a man (I had no idea) and it gave me confidence.

Life has it’s many funny twists and turns—it seems like we meet our partners at the my unexpected time and place.

I met my boyfriend at work—he is the assistant principal and I’m the teacher. We had our first real conversation at a bar that many of our staffs frequent to on Fridays. We didn’t expect this to happen—-who knew?

As for online dating, I always saw that as practice for several things: talking with men (I’m pretty shy around them), figuring out what I do or don’t want in a man, and it helped me get the ball rolling. Through practice, I became more confident and finally understood what I wanted in a relationship–hence, now I’m in a marvelous relationship.
