Hello all, I have had my little friend since December 2011. I did think it was hard enough finding a fella as a single mum, but this makes things that much harder.
I met a guy on a dating site, so I have had the chance to get to know him and him me before meeting. Well, the time has come to bite the bullet and I will be going on a date tomorrow night. The only thing I'm worried about is telling him about my stoma. I have said from the start that I would tell whoever I go out with about it just after the first date. Not sure if that's the right thing to do or to leave it for a little while.
Hope it goes well, fingers crossed.
If anyone has any stories they would like to tell, it would help a lot.
