Marina81 Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Hi everyone Your thoughts on my dating situation would be very much appreciated. I’m 30, a single mother of 2 little children. Divorced for a year. I recently met an absolutely wonderful man. We met at a football match and have been dating for 2 months exactly. He is 35, no kids, never married, shy and intelligent. I'm extremely taken with him. I dated a bit since my separation but I’ve never met anyone like this man. My issue is that things feel like they are not progressing. I don’t want to move quickly, but I don’t want to be in a situation where I am being used before I realise it. Little things are starting to add up; he's never called me – in two months! He texts a couple of times a week, and we see each other once a week on average for what are very nice dates to galleries, movies and concerts and dinners. He's cancelled a couple of times for what seem like honest but trivial reasons. He has never talked about us being serious but he's told me a lot of intimate information about himself, that he suffers anxiety and a lot about his family. He knows about me and my past too. While I acknowledge that dating a single parent must be overwhelming, It really isn't complicated and I am very independent, with a busy career. I have to move heaven and earth (babysitters etc) just to get a night out to even date in the first place. I don’t want to blow it if there is a chance that this might develop into something long-term so I'd rather not pressure him for info but I also don’t want to continue if this is going nowhere – it’s emotionally and physically draining I’m not dating for the sake of dating, I would rather give that free time to my children but I honestly like this person. Any advice would be so valuable - I hope I haven't posted in the wrong place, new to this forum.
