I have no son, but after a 5 year relationship gone wrong I'm still incredibly depressed after 8 months. What I'm trying to do is not focus attention on any one person. I've said this before, pull the hugh heffner approach. Date around a great deal, 3 or 5 girlfriends at a time. I realize that may seem inappropriate due to the fact that you have a child but once you snap out of your depression then it will be easier to focus on your child and yourself, and at that point you will be able to find someone for a meaningful relationship. That's how I'm attempting to get out of it anyways.. Gotta move on somehow. Good luck to you buddy, I'll actually keep your situation in my prayers.

Pull a hugh heffner; stay single forever and date around a lot. exclusivity?! pfft. :) unless you are madly in love and have that undeniable spark with someone, don't settle. Keep dating and dating and dating. just my 2 bits

lol... this is why dating/picking up girls is so damn easy. Most guys are just stupid and have no common sense on how to go about talking to girls. Furthermore, if they are this ignorant online then how are they in the real world?! Love it... makes everything so much easier. I'm going to start a website helping people like this become normal. And charge them up the ass for it... =)

everyone has a choice and believ me, if someone you see or want to persue has a boyfriend who treats her poorly, it's pretty damn easy to steal her away. I've done it a ****load of times to real assholes just for the point of doing it. I've done it several times with the boyfriend being right there! (helps to have a friend with you that can distract the boyfriends attention)

anyways, I completly agree and hate jerks, and while I'm not looking to be in a relationship because dating a bunch of girls is so highly pleasurable, I always make it a point to break up bad relationships. :)

If your really serious all you have to do is make the girl/woman fall fast and hard and it's incredibly easy. basically, look up topics like hypnotism and pua's on the net. Learn how to make her fall in love with you in a short time. It'll be a somewhat slow process of trial and error but soon you'll come across someone dumb enough to have one with you assuming you do everything right.

Or adopt... good luck with that one man.

poor kid.
