I was reading Kymberly’s blog and saw a post about a new book out called Single Mom Seeking. I think it would probably be interesting reading. I’ve been dating again recently after a long break from it. I find that my perceptions about dating have changed a bit since I first entered the dating scene 3 years ago. Then I was dating a lot, met quite a few men, made good friends and just overall learned about dating life today and what was important to me.

Now I find that my interest level is there, but in a different way. I’m not as interested in meeting a whole slew of men and filtering through them and all the time and process involved in that. I know what I want and what is important to me. Some of my “list” has changed. So I’ve been “meeting” a few men and mostly making friends again. I find that the same challenges always seem to come up. Feeling connection with someone is still a rarity. Things like trying to organize custody schedules to line up a time frame that works for both people. Or some men seem great but don’t have children of their own and want to have a family of their own. Trying to align all the factors can be challenging.

The bottom line is that I’m happy with my life, with who I am and I don’t need a relationship to be complete. I’ve got an incredibly busy life, and dating provides an outlet for me to get out and enjoy some company for a while. If something from a date does develop into something more. I’ll take my time but I won’t be afraid of exploring the opportunity to have a wonderful partnership with someone.

Now for my long time loyal readers. I know I’ve disappointed you lately with no juicy dating scoops;) I’ll let you know when anything news worthy comes up;)

Updated: Since Dan has so politely requested this umm twice now. And I do give him grief about not posting enough pictures of himself on his blog, I suppose it’s only fair;) Here’s the pic, blurry and all;)
