I'm a young parent and things aren't going great in my current relationship (father). I'm thinking about ending this relationship soon because we have tried numerous times to work things out and it has and hasn't gone very well. One day we're fine and love each other dearly, the next day, we're arguring up a storm in front of the baby, and that's not good at all. I want to know, when is a good time to get back in the dating scene? Once I'm no longer with him, I know I'm going to feel very lonely and afriad, and I don't want to feel that way. I know that since I already have a baby, it's going to make dating even harder because I have no down time. I want to have someone speacial in my life that will love me and enjoy my company and treat me with the respect I deserve and I can be romatic with..

You are definitely not alone. The baby in your life is all you will ever need for now. Times will be tuff for sure. But time to yourself will become easier and easier as time goes on. I would find time for only yourself also... for instance get a baby sitter and go out with friends. Find activities to keep you busy. Don't dwell on the past and before you know it that special person will come into you life when you least expect it.

You get back in the dating scene only when your ready but don't settle or pick the first guy that comes along because of your feelings of loniness. Don't let that cloud your jugement.

On the flipside sometimes being alone is a good thing especially when you just ended a relationship. Of course you going what that male championship but it gives you time to reflect on you.

Like the above poster said hang out with friends do things with your child and when your feeling down and out look at your baby because a baby smile can lighten up anybody day.
