Hi I'm a single mum to 2 kids on the spectrum , I have been single since I separated from my husband 5 years ago( very messy) , I did have a boyfriend for 9 months and it just didn't work ,
Recently I finished studying , and now instead of studying on my weekend while they are at their dads I spend my time on my own , don't get me wrong I have plenty to do ! But I do it all on my own , I've joined dating sites but I chicken out everytime , I'm still quite young ,( early 30s) but I feel like a old woman , it's like I almost want a relationship but I'm far to scared to act on it . Any ideas

Act on it! Everyone is scared. I know that sounds very simplistic but think about online dating as practice dating.
Go meet in a public place. Have a chat. No pressure. If he is nice you might want to see him again other wise nothing lost, you met another person.
I've met some of my best friends dating online.
Reading that, felt like I wrote it myself. Exact same situation. Can't offer any words of advice as I'm in the same boat, but best of luck to you xx
