I'm sending prayers your way ... @ SMS - You are living my life ... again. I keep meeting guys who expect me to settle. Settle for them regardless of the fact that they are still legally married. (Separated is not the same as divorced!!!) Settle for them because they are cute, yet broke. Did I mention broke? (Sorry, but I'm sure the utility companies are not accepting 'cute' as a form of payment! You can't even use 'cute' to buy on layaway!) Settle for them regardless of the fact that they are intimidated by my goals, accomplishments, or lack of neediness. Settle by breaking my self-imposed celibacy for THEM (why in the h*ll would I do this? you're gonna have to BUY THIS cow!) moo ... *ok. rant over* <abbr><em><em>NappyKitchen´s last blog post...<a href="http://www.nappykitchen.com/blog/2009/01/dandruff-in-your-nappy-hair/" rel="nofollow">Dandruff in your Nappy Hair</a></em></abbr></em> @ Legal Editor Mom – I’m soooo sorry to hear about your dad.

This post and these comments have totally blown me away. Bad mummy, you crack me up: "The next person who tells me that the right guy will come along when I’m not looking for him can kiss my @ss." The last time an (unhappily married) friend told me that I was "trying too hard" I wanted to punch her. Rachel, I wish you and everyone here who has commented luck in love. I have come to believe that there is not just one special person out there for us, but many possibilities. May we find them, with or without trying! <abbr><em><em>Leah´s last blog post...<a href="http://mamadharma.net/2009/01/impermanence/" rel="nofollow">Impermanence</a></em></abbr></em> Oh wow.

For some of us, who men don't tend to look twice at (me likely because of being overweight), it's even more challenging to find someone who is both interested and interestING. Sometimes I get disheartened when I see women complaining that they've had a million first dates but can't seem to get past it, when just getting that first date is so rare for me. But I get it, I do! It's frustrating for all of us who are out there trying to find love! <abbr><em><em>Kelly´s last blog post...<a href="http://buffyfan30.livejournal.com/702880.html" rel="nofollow">The Weekend</a></em></abbr></em> I try to be positive about this myself and also to enjoy the freedom and lack of drama that comes with being single, but you know… at least you have options.

I've been thinking about it a different way as of late. That is, do I want to risk changing the dynamic between my kid and I by introducing some guy into it? Especially considering my track record for so-not-the-right guys? That maybe it's best for me to not be in a relationship because I really do enjoy my solo time and being a single mum to an only child, our own little team of 2, w/o wondering how to negotiate how to change that up if needed. And, really, over all, I am starting to see that I attract the men that I do because my standards aren't high enough. Yes, I have my list of what I want in a partner. but no guidelines on how to get there. And until I can get my head to a space in which I can recognize just how awesome I am and that any man would be lucky to know me, I'm off the market. <abbr><em><em>Bad Mummy´s last blog post...<a href="http://badmummynocookie.blogspot.com/2009/01/family-matters.html" rel="nofollow">Family Matters</a></em></abbr></em> The next person who tells me that the right guy will come along when I’m not looking for him can kiss my @ss.
