How to date again?
Im in my mid-30s and with three kids. Ive separated with their dad three years ago when he left for the US and he recently got married there na rin.
Since separation, Ive gone dating and only two younger men have since capture my attention. Both "relationships" were failure. But both truly raised the standards for me on how I should be treated in a relationship bc they treated me like a princess, its just that hindi lang kami nag align during those times.
Now that Ive moved to an entirely new city (kids are with my parents since I still couldnt afford to bring them with me), I want to give dating a try again.
But how?
Nasa dating apps ako and from afar, I can see boys who would either want to just fck or may tendencies to be a sugar baby. Men I see there are also not my type since mapili din ako, knowing my career and educ background.
Wala din akong makita sa work kasi: 1) lahat kami busy; 2) married mostly; 3) bata pa ang iba; 4) hindi ko talaga type.
For those who have been single for long and are solo parents, saan po kayo nakahanap ng "organic encounter?" Pansin ko kasi mas gusto ko yung ako yung pinu-pursue kesa sa ma-meet ko lang sa dating app which would require me to msg them first.
Most men I meet back home would often tell me that hindi talaga nila ako abot kasi nga... career and educ background. Nakakaintimidate daw. And I dont take it against them. Actually, naiisip ko na that saved me from choosing the wrong ones.
Pero ang lonely kasi talaga sa feeling na wala kang mapagkwentuhan. Ayaw ko din naman maging burden sa friends ko kasi I know may kanya-kanyang buhay sila.
How do we date when we're in our 30s and as a single parent?
Thank you po.
