Online Dating, Single Parent Style
As I bounce my son on one knee, he looks up at me with a fistful of hair and gives me a squeal, a smile and a raspberry. A bowl of oatmeal sits next to me, which I am munching in between attempts at one-handed typing. My son looks curiously at my breakfast, leaning precariously close to try and mimic me. But I’m onto him, and swiftly plunk the spoonful in my mouth. Then I lie him down on my lap to breastfeed, and continue on with my mission.
I’m trying to check emails at Plenty of Fish and OK Cupid, my two favorite free dating sites. I don’t have any messages at either, although I’m not surprised. I’ve used both sites on and of for years, but have yet to meet anyone that I dated from either of them. I have had relative success with Lavalife, but I seem not able to log in there frequently enough for the service to keep my profile active anymore.
I remind myself that doing the same thing over and over again will only net me the same results, which means I need to either find new online dating sites, or start using other tactics to meet someone. Hm. There aren’t any speed dating companies in my area (I live in a small town in what is considered a semi-rural area), and I’m not a bar person. I really could use a workout for this post-baby body - so maybe I’ll investigate the nearby gym. At least then if I don’t meet someone new, I can still work on becoming more of a hot momma.
