I just didn't find him yet...<br /><br />The advice of a [mature male] friend a few years ago was to 'wait until the second round' - ie find someone who has already been married and had kids, as all the single no kids men I kept meeting were perhaps, er, how should I put it? -Single with no kids for a reason. I do know lots of people that have found lovely mature men who are great dads. I thought it was good advice. <br /><br />I was thinking that once I had kids I would be able to date, nice, grown up men. I will just be a single mum who already has kids right -just like any other. <br /><br />But perhaps not? Perhaps my 'independence' will be a huge turn off!<br /><br />I guess we'll just have to wait and see!Emma Blisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00929601119226414066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592839731639120187.post-48337045310407831792012-03-27T08:53:52.591+08:002012-03-27T08:53:52.591+08:00God forbid you would actually CHOOSE a life that w...God forbid you would actually CHOOSE a life that was complete without your friend or another man? I wonder if men are oddly defensive to feel like they might not be necessary?Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14992218915423095158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592839731639120187.post-34076644320802739632012-03-26T03:59:56.521+08:002012-03-26T03:59:56.521+08:00I've thought about this one too.

Still, I think 'by design' is a warmer story for those personally involved, particularly BB et al and the extended family. I remember a friend's brother being described by his mum as 'the best mistake I ever made' and every time I heard it, it still felt to me like an emotional slap for him.Mama Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01360142399015629825noreply@blogger.com
