How many dates would you say until you decide you want a relationship? What would you do in my situation? Started dating someone I would see randomly at work. We went out a couple times and I told him from the beginning I was a single mom. I didn’t expect to date him so that was something I just shared upon meeting him. We started going out and after a couple dates we had sex. Randomly after sex he brought up that he wasn’t ready for a relationship with me but he can see us getting there? I didn’t ask him. We’ve been talking/dating for 2 months now. I was never going to bring up a label, but now that he brought it up it has been on my mind way more. I think I’m going to wait a couple more weeks before breaking it off. I know some people say to wait longer or until you hit a certain amount of dates. But we text everyday, if we work together we hang out during lunch and after work, and then there’s the dates we’ve gone on. I feel like if a man wanted to be with me he would know already? Him being unsure already is a sign that maybe it’s just too much for him or we’re just not compatible.

How do you cope with being single? Like I’m okay with being single and I’ve accepted my dating life is more than likely over. I just don’t see it working with anyone. I’m still human and I do have crushes. Most recently had a crush on an ex coworker. We could talk and joke forever but I knew it was never going to go anywhere and I ended up leaving that job anyways. I’ve been asked out a couple of times by men I used to go to school with and just reconnected with on social media but it never works out because I’m always busy with work and my baby. I feel like most men my age (25) don’t have kids so they can just date someone more available and flexible. It’s not rare that someone flirts with me but I just don’t feel open to dating. As much as I would love to date, my baby is way too young rn (1 year). I’ve heard a lot of negative things about how men view single mothers. I can handle being single but sometimes I miss intimacy? I’ve been single for a year and like abstinent (tmi) for like a year and a half so how does everyone deal with that?

Looking for recommendations for a TT surgeon in LA or California. My baby is almost a year and I went from 145 lbs down to 113 lbs (my normal weight) I don’t have a ton of sagging but was wondering if there’s any recommendations preferably in LA
