You know, the things women are so unimaginatively accused of wanting more than men?
I once crammed four dates with different men into two days, but as my ability to pick interesting and nice men online seemed to be rather lacking, having four bad dates in two days was just too depressing to repeat. But I still think I deserve someone really special.
What became immediately clear is that lots of people my age are like Tom – old before their time and acting like we’ve been married for 30 years.
I realise I’m not a teenager any more, but that doesn’t mean I want to fast-track to a relationship that involves arguing over the remote control when Match of The Day is on.
But I seriously doubt any single dads ever receive the same type of criticism.
I learned to keep quiet about my dating adventures and largely ignored the so-called ‘advice’, but I soon realised that meeting new men isn’t quite the wall-to-wall fun I’d imagined.
They even implied that I should wait until my son was 16 – only another 15 years on my own then!
