There is actually a term called "negging" that I recently learned about. Us 10s should be made aware
True line..after I made a comment to a guy about how I wasn't as exciting as my friends, so he would leave me alone... "I heard a rumor about you. I heard, that you think that I think your boring. And I want you to know that that's not true". Haha!
I am nervous about dating again. I am nervous because I worry about all the hiddens. The stuff that won't come out till years later. Or that I will be in denial about until years later. I am worried because I am a single mom. I'm really 38. I am worried because guys that are younger then me like me and I know they can go for women in their 20s. Or perhaps they will use me even unintentionally. They are the single ones, but why would they settle down with some one with a kid? Then there is a really good chance that the guys with kids my age or older have left their wives. I am sure a good percentage of them Did the same thing to their wives that my husband did to me. My husband will gain sympathy by saying I kicked him out and didn't let him see his son.
A very wise person suggested what you seem to be doing. She said to expand my social circle and just work on building friendships for now. That way, you or someone else you know can get a sense or warning of the red flags. I wasn't friends with my ex. We dated and then just never broke up because no real reason. Perhaps we both looked good to each other on paper. I didn't have much experience with relationships so just never thought to break up.
