Being a single mom can be tough, but I’ve done a pretty good job of adjusting and am managing my role as parent and primary breadwinner pretty well, if I don’t say so myself. When my friends get in arguments with their husbands and tell me, “I wish I was like you and didn’t have to deal,” I usually agree. I’m not the kind of single mom that gets angry and shoots back a tirade on how hard single motherhood can be.
I’ve dated here and there, and so far, no one has knocked my socks off. I’m happy being single and have some good guys in my life that I can have fun with on occasion, without a big commitment. It works for my life which currently is focused on my boys and my career.
But, I need a fake boyfriend. I’m sort of sick of being the 5th wheel. I spend more than 50% of my leisure time with two of my closest (married) friends and their husbands. I love all four of them and it really isn’t an issue for the group that I’m single, but it would be nice to not be the odd-woman-out.
My idea of the perfect non-mate? He needs to be funny but not obnoxious, smart but not a know-it-all, chatty but not too chatty. Someone who can go with me and my coupled friends to movies, out to dinner and — is this too much to ask? — vacations. OK, that might be a bit much.
Got suggestions on how to find my fake boyfriend? Lemme know.
