Party???

Quote From: cpknight

How can we tell Dr. Phil to have a party for all of us?  Any suggestions. 

  

Cindy 

Can you imagine? Party Dr. Phil style?  I know those TX guys know how to have a great time. I wish I did know how to get him to throw a party for all his single fans! That would be a blast. We all would have something in common already! I'd love to just meet him and Robin! Did you see that guy on his show today? The guy who met the 37 yr old afraid of shoes or against a certain pair of shoes? I'd like to have a date w/him even if he wore Bozo the Clown shoes. How did she get past the face to even notice the shoes??? Beats me! Maybe someone else on here has a great brainstorm stirring in their head on how to the "Philabuster" to throw a singles party! Valentine's would be great! Heck any day would be great........ground hog day, Easter, Palm Sunday, Good Friday, Good Tuesday, Good Wednesday, Yom Kippur, St. Patrick's Day, ...........today???  I wonder if he has "people" who check these boards? Surely they have noticed that this one has more hits than others! (sigh)

How do you start dating?

I can't say as I have even done something like this before but, here it goes.  I am a single 30 year old mom.  I was married at 17, and divorced at 23.  I guess I never really dated so I am at a loss of where I should begin.  I am a full time college student, which keeps me very busy and a bit on the broke side.  I don't have the money to go out to the dating scene.  I am tired of being single, I have had 4 dates in the last 6 years.  What are some suggestions?

Maybe Dr P's people check the boards, maybe not, I don't know. But if we really do want a singles party we have to ask! 

  

Will one of the US-based members volunteer to submit this proposal through the share your story section of the website?? 

  

I am not eligible to do this as I don't think the Dr Phil show would pay my airfare from England somehow! (Well I can always dream..)

I don't usually post on this board but I saw your post and you didn't get a response and wanted to write to help you. First I have MUCH respect for a father raising his children and I don't know what women or is it girls you are talking to but they should be supportive of you for just that reason. Now I will tell you why a lot of women run off at the sound of children is they think that they will be stuck with the responsibility of them if they get in a relationship with you. But if they think about it TM you took on your children because you wanted to be with them so that's pretty stupid right. Now where are you talking to women ...church is a great place you will find someone with some morals hopefully and be a great influence for your children. Daycare where you take your children is another place to find single moms. Parks and places that interest children get into conversations with the moms there. Now I know when my hubby goes off with my grandkids it is like they are a babe magnet he is always getting women waving and talking to him. So don't do the bar scene and mention children there because you are meeting women if they have children trying to get away from them or single not ready for children. Good luck in your search but I don't know about Texas but in North Carolina men are so scarce when a man's wife dies or he gets divorced there are women in line waiting to see who gets him! God bless you and your children and pat yourself on the back Dad you are terrific!

I agree, I think a single mom would be great for you!  If those girls couldn't see what great characteristics you have as a responsible, good father, and all of the great things that make a great dad like you then your lucky those women passed you by.  You should be so proud of yourself.  What's that Dr. Phil says ' to put yourself in target rich environments'.  My son met a great girl (single mom) at the mall while shopping for school clothes for his eight-year old son.  They're dating!  I like her!  She's not out to replace my grandson's mother, she saw things in my son that she liked and was looking for in a guy.  The same good things that you have.  You'll find her.

Hey I saw your post too and wanted to add to what the other two women said. I'm older than you and would not stop seeing a guy just because he had children. I've never had children and don't even know if I will get to, but I would love to at least have step children. I think single girls are not only afraid of being an instant mom but mostly afraid of what the "ex" might be like. I know my friends have had more trouble w/the ex-wife than the children they gained by marrying.  My brother married a woman w/a son and they split up because she wouldn't give him any boundaries or rules. My brother just couldn't handle it. It made them fight and eventually split up. I said that to let you know that there may be other things they are worried about or have issues with. BUT, the ONE for you will take the whole package and never blink an eye! My mom married my dad and raised 3 children that were not her own. They stayed married almost 25 years until he died. My mom was my dad's 4th wife. I truly believe it works if you get the right one. Hang in there. We all have to be patient!

Party w/Philabuster & Rockin' Robin!

Ok, I'm blonde and not the most savvy about computer stuff but I will ask them about this if someone will tell me how to accomplish what we want here. (As if they are waiting w/bated breath on my contact efforts towards them) Ha ha LOL! 

Ya never know if ya don't try! The worst that can happen is they don't read it or they say no!

Have you ever had children?

Quote From: ct1952

I agree with you been disabled also from a back surgery I seem to run in the same problem.I have tried online dating and when I tell them about my disability they just dont respond any more. I can not drive and I do walk with a cane and also need a wheelchair for a long distance. I can do almost anything but it seems that been disabled puts me in a bad category which I think is wrong what happend to me is something I have no control . Iam 53yrs old female and I have alot to give only if I was given the chance to prove it 

 I forgot to ask if you ever wanted children. It is still possible at this age, although far less likely than at a younger age, since the cap is between 46-55 (some younger & some older). I think that is something to bring up. I am a person who likes honesty. Maybe you could get a sperm donor if you wanted to have kids. If you do not want kids, but want a relationship, keep trying. If you want marriage, honesty is best, but if you want a one-night stand, than its all an act. Remember that! Its your choice.
