"Single dad of 2 children lonely and unhappy
Just looking for chats and hopefully meets when this is over"
Sorry for your present emotional state. If you want it may (or may not) help to share why. Others may be able to help if they've been through the same. Good luck. |

There are some lovely people on the forums and on fab in general that will go out of their way to chat to you and help you to feel included and chat to you. I hope you find some fun and friends on here. Chin up and I'll send u a virtual man hug to go with it |

"At least you have two children for company and are not alone.
I know it's just people lead me on then drop me "
I'm sure this is simply your emotional perception. Think of it this way, it's them assessing you're not for them and although it results in the same thing it's not. In your "right" mind, you wouldn't want people to stay "friends" cos they feel sorry for you. |

Maybe change your thinking around chatting to people on here. Don't go into a chat with any expectations, people will pass the time of day with you but it might go no further than that. They aren't leading you on. |

this is good advice. On here is very different to dating. Feeling lonely is never good though and losing a partner is hard. You miss them but you have to keep going for your kids.
Remember there will be plenty of people feeling the same.. and there are support groups out there. |

I was lonely and then I bought a blow-up doll “Betty”, everyday I position her in a different place in the house (sometimes at the kitchen sink, sometimes stood by the ironing board, or close to the oven, occasionally by the sewing machine).
When I purchased “Betty” I also bought a large number of post-it notes and every evening I write some nagging messages (“put the bins out”, “clear up the shed”, “fix the tap in the bathroom” or “stop leaving your socks lying everywhere”).
Although “Betty” and I do not communicate as well as I had first envisioned, with long bouts of silence, and the sex is rather pedestrian, I feel we have achieved what others call “marital bliss” and I am therefore content. |

Hi, sorry if I'm a bit late to this, but I just wanted to say don't be afraid to reach out to people.
Having kids is by no means a reason to be be lonely. It's a completely different dynamic. I have a five year old whom I love to death, but he in no way deminishes my need for adult contact. Nor should you feel guilty for feeling the same (honestly, people whose dating profiles say my kids are my world creep me out).
I appreciate I'm not a big titted blonde with an arse that tastes like French vanilla ice cream, but if you're ever feeling low give me a shout.
If anyone doubts my motivations (which let's face it, someone will), a friend of mine took his own life because he didn't feel he could talk to anyone, so I'm acutely aware of the need to commune. |
