Mmmm yes... another man... geez I'm terrible.
I gave up on the other one... and had given up on men altogether actually - until last weekend 
I went out for a friend's birthday and had one glass of wine too many... which led to me flirting furiously with her partner's friend Andy. I later found out that her partner had set the whole thing up. Truly embarrassed! Except that he sent me a text message today and asked me out for a drink! How cute! A date! So yeah, he's a bit older... QUITE a bit older... which I am struggling to come to terms with. But then I think that was one of the problems I had with my last boyfriend, he was forever competing with Hannah for attention and was never going to win. We'll see how it goes with Andy, but he has a niece a couple of months older than Hannah who he ADORES and babysits all the time... so hopefully he'll understand that he's second best 
Not sure what to do about the Hannah thing. Taking baby steps. I think I'm going to hold off on him meeting her and see if things go ok with just us first. Will provide an update after this weekend

Ooohhh yay for you Nikki. Looking forward to hearing how it all works out.
I think when you are a young single mum, you kind of have to date older guys cos the ones that are your own age are waaaaaayyyyyyy to "young" to be in a relationship with someone who is always going to have a higher priority. Hope you manage to get your head around it though and good luck Have fun!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

He may be *cou11yearsoldergh* than me... we decided my emotional maturity must have some how been brought up by having a child... and knowing males... they are kids on the inside... so maybe we are even? (P.S. Not too sure about my increased emotional maturity - especially my track record with men. Ah well... I'll run with it anyway )

I wouldnt worry about the age thing. Once you get to a certain age 11 years isnt so important. Now if you were 16 and he was 27, thats a different story! ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

I agree, when your around this sort of age 11 years isnt a big deal, hopefully it means he will have his sh*t sorted out and not be some little boy wanting to party with his mates all the time.
How excited, my love life is old and married, its fun to hear about someone dating and going through the whole first time events again. Good luck for the weekend, cant wait to hear all the juicy details (though hopefully they wont be tooo juicy young Nikki! you know the old saying about buying the cow and milk thing hehe, Ive always wanted to say that to someone) |

when I met my hubby my kids were my world, as in previous relationship alot of the time I put ex needs before them - i feel guilty about this everyday but it was an abusive relationship which I tried to make work but thats a whole new story - anyway they were just turned 3 and almost 8, I decided I play it by ear when to introduce to new BF, it as 8 weeks after I met him that I told kids and introduced not long after wards although still careful not to show too much effection and acted like he was a friend rather than Bf, nicki you seem like you know what you doing and so i am sure ypu will know when the time is right for both of you.
and normally when you not looking for a relationship thats when you find .... right enough of my advise/insight  ------------- Ann

There is about 8 years between me and Daniel. I am just about to turn 21 and he is 28. I had a 7 year gap relationship when I was 16 and needless to say it didn't work. When you are older age doesn't matter (within reason).

You go girlfriend!! Now, I am a long time lover of the "silver fox" variety of men. I don't think I have EVER "dated" anyone close to my own age. There is 12 years between Rod and I (sometimes feels like he is 17 sometimes he is 70, like Atish!)
what Rocks about men over 30 is that they are usually secure in themselves, have some sort of "plan" about liffe, and are actually DOING it (that dosen't include drinking 2 24 packs of beer and scoring a 16 year old)and the world *usually* dosen't revolve around them. Oh, yeah, like I even need to point this out *ahem* experience counts! Keep us updated!! ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

Hrmmmmm... well.... the night went ok. I was a real bitch to Andy though. Well, not really rude, just discouraging! I don't know what came over me!!! Niamh (and her silly psychology degree) said that maybe I was trying to sabotage it... because if it doesn't work out then I don't have to worry about all the Hannah stuff and getting hurt or whatever. She may have been right.
So yeah, now I feel awful... especially because it didn't put Andy off! (Tough guy!) So I'll get in touch with him in a few days and see if I can manage to get over my anxiety about going out with a new guy.

And I think Niamh has hit the nail on the head. Make yourself believe that you deserve to meet a nice guy and have a good time, and that Hannah deserves to have a mum who is happy and fullfilled.

Thank ya Roksana and sorry to hear about Zaara... it sucks huh? The amount of time I had to spend at home with Han when she had conjunctivitis nearly drove me nuts. I'd be really vigilant about staying home til it was completely clear and then she'd go back and get it again! ARGH!
Hrmmmm... undecided as to whether I like him. Well, he's lovely and seems like a really cool guy, but don't know exactly. I guess that is what I am trying to find out. I've never really built a relationship from scratch, I have always been friends with a guy before starting something. It's kinda weird. Ah well... we'll see. |

When I first met my DH I had just been in an abusive relationship so I didn't trust DH, I'd test him alot and annalized everything worried I'd make the same mistake. In the end I decided that if anything else he can be a 'bit of fun' as it turned out we are now married and hes nothing like I worried he'd be, funny thing is about 6 months before our wedding I admitted to him i only thought he'd be a 'bit of fun' and the bugger put that in his grooms speech (shame parents, family and friends there) LOL
(and he also excepted both my two children as his own and when ppl ask him now how it feels lke to be a dad -since Rhyley's birth, he replies with he was already a Dad which is extermly cool cause its what I wished for) ------------- Ann

oh you could do what me and a friend did when we were single after long term relationships, we made a list of the perfect man, wasn't looks but more personality and stuff , like one of my things were that he would love my kids or at least pretend to. I still have the list somewhere must get it out and see. I also read in chickhen soup book this lady did a collage thing of what she wanted out of life, so I did it too, got pics from mags and stuck them to a paper , there was like a happy couple, a big cheque, I put prince william on there (prince charming) a house, a plane for a holiday, lots of smiling faces, I even put a perky pair of boobs on there LOL breastfeeding two kids had its toll on mine LOL.
If anyhtning it puts in perspective of what you want out of a partner and life. May help decide if this new man is the one that can do that for you.???

Thanks Nikki...I wish I could afford a holiday far far away but cant!!!
Trust is a big thing...some people dont realise it but it affects a relationship big time. If you cant trust your partner then you cant be in that relationship. I guess you need to be a big open minded about him....and just go with the flow....yes dont get tooo attached as yet but see what happens. Like we said, he is older so hopefully a bit wiser than the previous...Good luck with what ever you plan to do. Well....we all know my story re the Inlaws...and in all honesty I had enough.....I need to have serious talk with him.....STOP...thats a whole new topic!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Thats funny AnnC. My story is almost the same. When I met my hubby, I had just come out of a nasty nasty relationship and I thought the same about my hubby - might be a bit of fun - why not take a risk - sort of thing. He was head over heels for me but I wasn't too sure about him. I was an 18 year old single mum to a 1 year old and he was 25 - had himself sorted out. 8 years later, we are still together, married for almost a year and expecting our first bubba together. ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

Well that's positive. I'll see how my dessert date tomorrow night goes
Roksana - trusting the other person isn't usually my problem. I already trust Andy (if only because I have Niamh telling me that he's always had trouble with girls in the past because of being too much of a "friend" and not someone they want to drag into the bedroom) but I don't trust me. I have no idea if what I think is "feelings" for someone is actually that!!! I was just reading a thread on another board talking about marriage and it made me realise that I reeeeally have to stop dreaming my white picket fence dream. That's what got me into trouble with Zeke... deluded me into thinking that I was actually in love with him. Anywayyyyyy rambling as usual. Taking it slow this time. Will see if he's willing to put up with me tomorrow! |

Shyte. I just typed a huge reply and then accidentally went back to the last page. ARGH.
Anyway, it went well - went and did coffee. I found out he is still in wandering bachelor mode... Niamh had convinced me he was finally settling down (as in had a stable job and not planning to pack up and leave the country in the next few months) but apparently not. He's not the most ambitious of men, and where he does have ambition he doesn't have the motivation to make it all work. ARGH. So frustrating for an overly driven person like me. But it was fun conversation so I'd go out with him again but I don't think we'd ever have a "relationship". So entirely boring! Sorry I have nothing juicy to report ladies! Now... back to my knitting (New hobby hehehehe)

LOL Mel wins!
But her apron story reminds me... my Mum bought some denim material to make some overalls for me when I was 1. 19 years and 12 moves later, the material was finally used to make a bassinette for Kiya that hung inside the cot! ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |
