    Good morning, Mr Troll. Happy Christmas.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    If you have just split with ex, why are you so intent on finding someone else so soon? No-one who is serious about finding a new relationship would look twice at someone who has just broken up a relationship.

    Interesting, why do you say that?

    There's no point in hanging around. I've tried counselling etc but she wasn't interested. My main concern is my son though.

    So you;re looking for a pseudo mum/nanny for your young son ? That's really going to bring the women flocking.....

    i split with ex and we have a five year old. Any dating tips and where to go to meet someone new? - Sure. Try being single for a while!

    I will try to hide the new girl if I meet someone from my ex as apparently they don't like new women in their child's life. That advice came from my solicitor. - Nope. Don't believe you But where to look-

    speed dating
    online dating
    singles nights etc

    I figured I'd make a new Facebook profile and use my other phone. I have two or three phone numbers; at least initially. This will mean if I am at my ex's house then she can't call me and make my ex know I have someone new. - Sounds like a perfect plan

    Men are so screed in Britain it's laughable, I should have stayed in Japan



    Perhaps. But how about concentrating on your child??!!

    You should concentrate on your child first and foremost, not look to jump into another relationship.

    I've been single over 4 years and my relationship with my daughter has never been better, despite only seeing her 3 days per week. I've tried dating, but honestly it's now the last thing on my mind.

    Top bloke. I know what you mean. I'm not really that interested; it's strange when you have a kid you arent as motivated. It's just lots of people told me to look and get on with my life.

    My ex is a control freak and I've been told they don't like other women being around their kids. A solicitor I spoke to said to keep quiet about it unless it's serious. U see lots of single mums with other blokes; I guess the guys are desperate in some cases.

    They must be desperate because she's got a kid?
