Emily d asked: I have been divorced for 7 years and haven’t been able to make new friends or go back into the dating scene because I just don’t know how!!! I have been concentrating on raising my children and I feel as if my life is just passing me by!

What you think and feel you create for yourself. Feel happy and accept your situation. When you are mentally ready it will happen.
Open yourself to meeting new people. Smile with your heart and your eyes. If you only go through life running after your kids and you don’t look up you could miss stuff. Get a membership at a gym and start talking to folks, start attending singles groups at a church or just attending group meetings.
Try watching the DVD “You can heal your life” by Louise Hay. Very nice movie to show you how your thoughts can help and hurt you. Focus on the positive and it will all fall into place.
Me too! It hasn’t been quite seven yet, and I have my son. I have had as many dates in 4 years. Maybe just too old! (me that is!)
Your life is not passing by if you are raising children. When they are 18 and on there way then it is your turn. In the meantime learn something new or go to a gym. There you may meet people to become friends with..You have no neighbors?
Get out once in a while and try to meet friends through friends, and stay off these dating websites there a big joke. I’m sure you’ll make friends soon, and maybe meet a nice guy. Best Of Luck!
You are doing the right thing, and putting your children first. You will meet someone when you least expect it. Join a group about something you really like to do. If you like to read, go to a book club. There are so many groups out there. Single parents clubs. They get together and do things with their kids.
Maybe you should try something new. Have you ever went to new sites online to try to meet people like or if you need to vent about it?
