Need some input/ideas

post #1 of 3

I'm shy around guys and many times if there is any guy in my neighborhood or somewhere I get passed by .

That was the way in highschool/college that I turned into meeting guys online one guy was a cre(p other than that the 2nd one whose my son's father but now my ex who is now a JK. But even before I met ex irl he actually got so scared of not wanting to meet up that I literally pull him into meeting me and then after he met me he was the Only Guy that ever showed True Interest in me which means he was my only Relationship I ever had then I lost it after five years more likely three because it changed & I had even talked about leaving him then even before I ended up pg with Brendan but then when I ended up pg with brendan the relationship with more downhill.

Oh I was hoping maybe after Brendan was born it would bring some postivity but it didn't so I ende up totally depressed that I nearly missed out on the first beginning of brendan babyhood .

So then I finally woke up & said I needed to set myself & brendan from this misery we are in so I brought him back into montana & didn't come back to his father .

So then anyhow Brendan definetly became more happier and I was a little bit more relaxed but that's mostly how I have been is relaxed but still I get sad and alone feeling.

I even get envious how it is easy for so many to end up in relatonship with a few months , not even more than 2 yrs .

Now this one gal who been a single mom since living here as long as I have with 3 kids she is now moving in with her bf whose good with kids next month to a house but beforehand she has had bunch of dates but with me I have had 0 dates .

Another one who has a bf within a year of moving into the apartment and she has 4 kids .

Another gal got back together with her ex husband whose also her daughter father .

Anyhow so I signed up for online dating sites I see guys who are not really that chemistry attractive they look creepy to me.

So when I msg a guy who looks attractive no answer .

Other than that other online guys are smokers and even smokers are sometimes good looking that I won't end up wanting to be around smokers or date any of them.

So I truly don't think I will have any luck with online dating especially locally hence my son's father who I met online who I totally pulled him to come to meet me had been all the way down in South California is where he was .

1200 miles away from my state .

So now I'm back at square one but now have a kid whose a charmer whose irrestible because many people say he's just too cute etc .

Sigh, I would love to meet a guy whose able to not be a smoker and a local person but if I had such a heck of time in my teen/adult years .

Even my brother has had more relationships than I ever had .

I got odd prank calls that were disgusting , mean , rude etc . I even ended up getting a peeping tom more than once.

So two of the peeping tom was possibly were stalkers since I ran into one of them and I said an oddness of how that person knew where i was going but then turned the other way after i passed by .

So anyhow, then truth be it my ex was actually a cre&p at the beginning but maybe I was just happy that someone wanted to be with me and thought that was the only way I could go you know ? even though he was attractive a former smoker, nice, had fun with him but even with him some things weirded me out .

It sounds like you need to take a long break from looking for a man. You need to concentrate on your son and yourself and be comfortable with having a life with just the two of you before bringing anyone else into it. It is OK to be alone and taking the pressure off of yourself to find someone would allow you a lot of free time to really figure out what kind of person you want in your life. Have you thought about going to counseling or are you? You may benefit from it to help with your shyness.

I have been finally wanting to date a guy because it's been 5 1/2 yrs since I have ever been with a guy . Hence 5 1/2 yrs and 2 months . I have tons of free time now before I wasn't really into looking for a guy since my son had many of days fullfilled from 1-3 and even slightly less when he was 4 now he's almost 6 .

I have a free 6 hr free time every M-F . From the 8 am- 2:15 .

I can go to restaurants to get a drink, can walk, can shop during that time with no kid begging for toys .

I can even head down to the mall which is pretty empty during the weekdays especially around the time I'm free roaming around.

Mom even likes to watch brendan sometimes even during the night so I get a nite out for myself more than once then I go to movies by myself on my own and restaurants on my own so many of doing that on my own it's relaxing but would rather go with someone.

Counselors never helped me with my shyness if they would I proably wouldn't be shy but instead being around counselors make me even more shyer because of the inaccurate information that was given for cousenlors to not really care that I was being hurt in a bad way with my family for my brother horrible meaness whose 4 yrs younger than me a total bully I even get even nervous about being around him because even now he gets totally annoyed when I want to speak it just seems like I always bug him no matter what I do even if I'm just trying to be nice .

I'm satisfied with the life I'm with we have money , food, free time, fun with my lil one , but I been without a guy for 5 1/2 yrs and with others around me finally getting into relationships getting me envious because how can they end up with someone and I still end up with none after 5 1/2 yrs even though just this year I have started to wonder how I could start looking but lately there is really no guys in my neighborhood.

Also, brendan is becoming more independent his friends are coming over right after school saying can he play outside sure he can then out he goes ! I'm sitting on my own on the patio reading an archie comics to the cat .

Even one of the weird guy whoses proably in his late 60's or early 70's is in a relationship with my neighbors homecare nurse .
