Writing has always come naturally to me but I've never done it in a formal sense. Well, I take that back...I was a movie critic for my college newspaper one semester and did write reviews for the paper about once a week. I digress, which also comes naturally...
I started this blog to write about dating. Particularly, being a 40+ yr old, single mom who is in the dating scene. Tonight's blog will be a little background information and the following postings will concentrate on my, & my friend's dating antics.
My husband left us 10 yrs ago for a younger woman. Funny thing is, he was 35 and I was 36 at the time! She was young enough at 28. He and I had been married 7 or 8 yrs when the affair started and we had a young son. I say "7 or 8 yrs" because I'm not exactly sure when the affair started. But, the long/short of this story is he left when our son was 3. As I mentioned, that was 10 yrs ago. At 36 I found myself thrust into singledom, only this time with a young child to whom my world revolved.
Because my husband of 8 yrs cheated, I was a little leery of other men. The first couple of yrs were filled with many interesting, yet not exactly right-for-me, men. There was the foreigner, the tatoo artist, the single dad, the con-artist; all of whom made great bed partners but none of which were worth long-term, step-daddy consideration.
I have had a couple of 2 yr relationships during the last 10 yrs - both of whom are named Greg. Explain that! Really great guys & I am friends with each one & their families but, unfortunately weren't in it for the long haul with me. So, I've been dating...& dating...& dating...I have friends in my same boat - we'll call it the USS SHIWLL&C "Single, Hot, Intelligent, Women Looking for Love & Companionship." And we so happen to be in our 40s or pushing it.
The escapades of mine, and their, dating experiences will commence tomorrow. I now must go wake up my son in order for him to eat & complete his homework! Ciao for now!
