dating?

[stacey74]

so i've been thinking lately about starting to date again. my oldest is 18 and will graduate in a few weeks and go off to college in a few months. my other two are not too far behind. and my single-parenting days are drawing to a close.....

but...i start thinking about the last relationship i was in 9 years ago....my emet was SO bad.....i had lost so much weight b/c i couldn't eat in front of him for fear of getting sick...i was always n*....we never got to go anywhere, we always stayed home....needless to say he couldn't deal and we broke up....

so.... i don't want to be alone forever... my emet is not really bad now...i mean i go out to eat, although i do only eat certain things that are "safe" for me so as not to bring on an attack of ibs,i've put on weight (too much in my opinion haha), i work, i go places.

i still obsess about v*, esp. others, where you can't control anything ( i've come to learn i am a control freak hehe) i think of the "what if" scenarios, i mentally plan escape routes whenever i go out , i make sure i know where the bathroom or trashcans are located....all the emet usuals...sadly

sorry my post is so long....need some input on how to "get on with it" and start dating again....

Hey Stacey, you might think about posting this in the private forums, generally get more traffic there. It seems that a lot of emets have done really well in relationships. Seems like being a single mom would be a lot harder.

I think you should try it! Dating can fun and you never know what kind of amazing person you could meet.
I dont know how you feel about online dating sites, but I know some people who have had really good luck with them.
Go get em, tiger
