"It's Tough, But I Really Need To Change!" (Patrisia's Blog)

I’ve been a single mother for many years now. Yeah, I’ve had my novios. When I was younger, I also had 2 boyfriends who didn’t provide for my kids, so I still considered myself a single mom. Those relationships didn’t last, of course. After 6 years of being alone, and then dating the same guy for 4 years, we finally tied the knot! It was a lovely, simple wedding ceremony that he paid for all by himself. Even though we’re happy, … Read more →

"He Doesn't Have Any Red Flags…It's His Friends Who Do!" (A Guest Blog From Lina)

So, here’s a new one on me. I have been talking to the coolest guy. We enjoy each other’s company and really like each other. However, his friends are a major turn off. Of the ones I hear so much about: one stole from him, one couple is so drunk and drugged up all the time that they recently ‘lost track’ of their small child and the cops had to step in. The kid is ok, but now in temporary custody … Read more →

Okay, here it goes…please be kind! I’ve been dating this guy (he’s 28, I’m 25) for almost 10 months. It’s been going relatively well. We really connect, have a wonderful sex life and many similar interests. He’s a very good person: honest, wonderful father to his daughter, very good to my son (who’s autistic), and makes time for me which says a lot, because he’s a single father and going through a separation. Lately, a lot of my girlfriends have been … Read more →

Here we go again—another article about trust. But if you’re out in the dating world, in a relationship, or using dating sites to meet potential partners, then yes—we have to talk about it again. Because the fact is that if two people want to make a go of it as a couple, the number one item that must be established from the start is trust. I mean, where can you go if there’s no trust between the two of you? If … Read more →

When my boyfriend and I first met we both had gotten out of two horrible 5-year relationships. My relationship was a very abusive one with my boyfriend constantly cheating on me and neglecting his kids. My current boyfriend’s girl was also cheating on him. She was cheating throughout the whole relationship, even when she was pregnant with their daughter. Since we had both been extremely hurt, we talked about what we expected from each other in our relationship. At first everything … Read more →

I had to share this experience. Let me know what you think. So, I had a first date with a guy I recently met online. We went out on a Friday night and it went really well. So we decided to make plans to do something that Sunday. We had chatted for a little while and had a few phone conversations and plenty of text messages. He seemed pretty nice and cool. He was new to the area so I told … Read more →

I am a single mother to 3 beautiful children, a 13-year-old and 6-year-old twins. The father left me for another woman when I was 4 months pregnant with the twins and he has only met them once. I have brought my children up on my own for nearly 7 years now. Although I did have a boyfriend during a lot of this time, I never lived with him. I work full-time at a respectable job and do not rely on the … Read more →

I think everyone has at LEAST one funny/crazy story, if they’ve been doing the online dating “thing” for any length of time – mine happened 2 weeks after I created my Plenty Of Fish account. Everyone I’ve told this to seems to get a real kick out of it, so thought I should at least share it and hopefully put a smile on some more people’s faces! A guy reached-out to me, seemed nice enough. Really had his “act together”. Had … Read more →

I was recently talking to a few people about how long I’ve been in my relationship, which is two-and-a-half years and still going strong. My relationship is very serious; we have talked about marriage and having a child of our own (I have 2 children from a previous marriage). Everyone was astonished. They couldn’t believe I had been with one person that long, and planned to stay with that person. So we all got to talking about how today’s relationships really … Read more →
