Hey and welcome to Mingle!
I love your heading.
I think the only thing wrong with your profile is that you need to add what you are looking for in a man. Other than that, it looks pretty good.
I hope you find what you are looking for

My question is this, why would you really want to let your child meet a man right off? If you date someone, that does not mean that you will end up with this person..if this were true, would we need dating sites?
I am a single mom and I have been for a very long time. My boys are 25 and 18 now and my youngest son is still living at home. I still do not allow men to come into my home. My son is an adult but I want respect from my boys, one thing they can say about me is that I was a great Mom that never had strange men in and out of our home.
Being a single parent is hard BUT your children are number one. You have to stop and think, you do not really know these men at all. They could have a criminal background, do harm to your child, or who really knows..they could be crazy for all you know. I guess the main thing with dating is you have to STOP AND USE YOUR BRAIN! PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN!
When your children grow up do you want them to say that you had a different man in their lives every year? NO...so keep your life away from the kids!!!
Keep the men away from the kids. IT IS REALLY THAT SIMPLE!!!

I will say this and then I am going to ignore this thread because I am sick of reading it..just be yourself and if someone does not like you then they can kiss your sweet a$$!!!
My friend was very thin until she had a heart attack at the young age of 35. She has a lot of medical problems and her doctor put her on steroids for about 15 years. Now if you have no clue what this type of medicine does to you...it makes you gain weight and lots of it. So please do not tell me that people over weight do not gain weight due to a medical problem or medicine. IF YOU TRY TO TELL ME THAT, YOU BETTER BE A DOCTOR!!!

All I can say is THANK GOD I AM OLDER AND DO NOT DEAL WITH BULL ****. Geesh if you do not trust your girlfriend, get rid of her..it is really that simple. Why do you want all that drama in your life when there are so many single people out there?
You have to realize that men or boys, are going to take what they can get from these girls. If she will give it up, he is going to take it and not complain about it.
One day when all of these boys grow up they will realize that life is not just about sex and BJ! Get a life and either break up with the girlfriend or deal with her crap. Can you say DRAMA QUEEN??

Great picture btw!!!

Hyperemesis gravidarum

I am starting to think that most of the guys on here, not all, but a large portion of them are here just to get lucky. I don't understand how a man expects to talk to you 3 or 4 times and then want you to come and meet them. I am not talking across town, I am talking 1200 miles away.
I NEVER GIVE OUT MY HOME PHONE NUMBER, I use a track phone then that way they can not find my exact location. It is not fun being stalked and I now realized that to be smart...I started carrying a pistol.
So ladies be smart and be safe!! NEVER LEAVE HOME WITH OUT YOUR GUN!!

Your profile is very cute and it has very nice pictures. My question is this, why would you limit the age of the ladies that can email you? I think when you put limits on that, then that is like putting a limit on the age of how old you will allow your friends to be.
I actually was going to send you a private email and ask you a question and it would not allow me. I am a little over the 44 age limit. So I guess I will ask you here since you have a damn limit on there...haha!!
Why did you pick that one picture for your main one? I actually like the one where you are laughing and honestly, you look absolutely breathtaking in that one! I think I stared at that picture for awhile..I would have picked that one....but then again, it is not my damn profile!!!
LOL I guess people have to read your profile to see why I say damn!

I also get all kinds of gentlemen checking out my profile, some are 75-18. I think that maybe if they find what you say interesting in the community, then they click on your profile and maybe just fine out where you are from and what you are all about?
It does not offend me at all, I actually think it is nice that they find something I said interesting. I actually get emails from them though and honestly it does not bother me at all unless it says something like..YOU ARE HAWT! Then I usually just chuckle and I don't reply but if they show me respect, I usually reply to them. I think this is how we get to know people from different areas and different generations.
So instead of being offended by it...smile and just think that maybe they found something you said interesting!!!

I don't care what anyone says, men love women that have confidence. If you are a little overweight or a lot...if you feel sexy, men love that. I will say that I have lost a lot of weight BUT I had more dates when I weighed more?? I do not understand that one but I guess I don't really try to date that many either.
If you like barbie dolls...then I am not the one for you, but if you like someone who is confident, that would be me!!!

What are you looking for in a mate?
What do you enjoy doing with that special person?
You really don't say what you like or what you want??

I have never heard of this...so what all you do is text each other?

You might want to say what you would like in a woman. Finish answering all the questions on the profile also :-)
Welcome to Mingle

I have always said that there would be only one reason why I would ever divorce the man I loved, cheating. I can deal with anything and sit down and talk a lot of things out BUT I will not put up with someone who strays in our marriage.
As you know I am now divorced so now you know why. We actually went to counseling through our pastor but my pastor told me to run because he would do it again. It seemed like everyone knew he was cheating but me, they didn't come to me until I filed for divorce then I had all kinds of people coming to me and telling me things. Why do your so called friends NOT tell you and save you from looking like an idiot?
I really thought we had a good marriage. The way he got away with it is I worked days and he worked nights. We never really ever spent any time together, when he came home I was already asleep. I got up at 3:30 am and got ready for work and didn't get home until around 3 pm. He went to work at 2:30 pm and got home around 11.
SO I AM HAPPILY DIVORCED AND OUR MARRIAGE COULD NOT BE WORKED OUT EVER!

How long ago did you meet him and where? Now let me say this..not all men are creeps there are some really nice guys out there. It is just when you have small children, you have to be very careful.

How long have you been seeing him? I would just talk to him and explain your situation. If he cares about you, then he will understand. How old are your children and do you have little girls? Where did you meet him?
Honestly you have to be careful and make sure he is safe around your children. Did you do a background check on him and make sure he is not a sexual predator? Now before anyone goes crazy on me..if she has little children, YOU can not trust anyone around your kids now a days. You should check and make sure they are safe to be around your kids, I am sorry but I check everything out!!!

When I seen this on the news, it said that they actually seen the guy jogging by their place and they said something about...let's go kill him because I am bored.
Let's face it, it is getting bad every where and it is not safe to do anything because the world is going crazy. I live close to South Bend, Indiana and they have people that just drive by people driving their cars and start shooting. This is why everyone should carry a weapon, guns do not kill people...people kill people!!!!

I agree, when you sit behind a computer screen...you can be whatever you want to be. It is hard to trust people on-line because you don't know if they are trying to scam you or if they are telling you the truth.
I am honestly looking for my best friend that I can not live without. They do not have to be perfect but be perfect for me. Usually when I think OH WOW, NOW HE IS SWEET, he lives a million miles away from me. This is one of the down falls to on-line dating or even friendships.

When you go to court, ask them for drug testing. IF she is doing drugs that is a good reason for them to give you your son. I just don't know how a mom could leave a child behind...but I consider myself a very good mom. I would do without to give to my boys.
My kids are now 25 and 18...my oldest son lives on his own and is now engaged. My youngest son is now a freshman in college...yep I am a proud mama!!! You do your best and teach your kids to be the best that they can be.

I agree with KIK...keep a calender of everything that has happened and keep that picture that she sent you and make sure you write down every time you do a welfare check on your son.
Hey I am a woman and some women are so mean when it comes to using the kids as a pawn. I am so glad that me and my ex never had problems like this. We actually got along so well that we just celebrated our son's birthdays together and had Christmas at my house. I think it is because he is single and I am single so we have no other people to cause any problems between us.
I think you do need to try to get into court as soon as you can and file for joint custody so you can see your son. Why would she leave 1 child with you and take the other one? Some times I just do not understand parents. SMH!!
