I'm a single mom who just began dating about five months ago. The good dates I've had seem to result in just wanting a friendship, which is totally fine as I am always cool with making new friends. However, those instances have been rare; the majority of people I've met on dates are not even remotely compatible in regards to levels of intellectualism and emotional health, political and religious views, life experiences, etc. So, I'm trying something new and reaching out in an attempt to meet more like minded individuals.
