Hey, everyone.
Anyone in SE Iowa by chance?
Ottumwa more specifically.
I'm not sure how else to meet anyone here?
I am getting up there in age so I am a little worried, I won't lie, so I'm hoping it isn't to late for me.
I am seeking friendship that could potentially lead to more.
I had been with the father of my children for nearly 10 years so I am a little out of experience, with dating, period. We do have 2 elementary aged kids together and I felt obligated to stay with him for the sake of them.
I have focused these past nearly 10 years raising my kids, with no real wiggle room, so I'm out here doing what any other nearly 40 year old women with kids does, and trying to rediscover herself. Slowly building her life back up.
I have never really used labels for myself but I would say I am bisexual (obviously) but I am hoping to meet other women and explore that side of my sexuality.
Are there women out there that will date women with kids from previous relationships?
Just a little bit about myself-
I did recently go back to work. I had been a CNA previously but let it lapse so I could stay home and raise my kids. I am now a caregiver.
I think being a caregiver is in my blood.
Being nurturing.
Helping others.
I have always enjoyed baking.
I have started gardening. I don't know why but sunflowers are the only flowers I can grow. Literally everything else I try to grow, dies. If it sprouts, that's the extent of their lives. I have a black thumb but at least I don't give up 🙃
I enjoy going to the library, visiting book stores/ aisles/ sections- I do enjoy reading.
I am not good at writing, or being creative, but I am slowly trying to write a book. I'm not good at it but I like to pretend that I am lol
Anything else anybody would like to know?
Anybody at least want an internet friend?
If anything, any tips on trying to date other women in Ottumwa would be nice?
