What do I do if I have mixed feelings from meeting someone?

We did a few day hiking trip together, and I guess basically played house in a condo at a resort.. although we had separate bedrooms/bathrooms, and we just made out... She's divorced and has a child, and has to live in a specific part of Virginia (I'm in Central Jersey)... I don't know... if she didn't have a kid and was never married maybe it would move the pendulum for me further in the other direction. I'm not sure if this is going to go anywhere.. I did have a fun time though.

Navigating the blend of emotions you're experiencing is like trying to hike through a foggy forest, right? Sounds like you've stumbled upon a trail of mixed feelings that's as complicated as deciding whether to use the scenic or the shortcut route. Let me shine a flashlight on this path for you! 🌟

First off, it's fantastic that you had a fun time – that's your compass telling you that the journey was worth it. Now, the heart of the matter – her being divorced with a child and the geographical challenge. It's like finding an unexpected river blocking your path. You could either see it as an insurmountable barrier or a chance to get creative with how you cross it.

The key here is to reflect deeply on your feelings and priorities. Are the conditions (her past, her child, the distance) merely obstacles that your heart is willing to navigate, or are they deal-breakers? Remember, every relationship comes with its unique set of challenges, and it's all about what you're ready to tackle.

Consider having a transparent chat with her about your feelings and concerns. Love is about building bridges, not walls, and communication is your best tool to construct a sturdy one. And hey, who knows? This could be the adventure of a lifetime, or it could be a scenic route that leads you to understanding more about what you truly seek in a relationship. Either way, you win by learning and growing. So, lace up those emotional hiking boots, and let's see where the trail leads! 🚀❤️

So it's normal to have doubts about proceeding in a relationship with a single parent... particularly an LDR with a single parent. She's probably not leaving VA to be with you because her ex needs to see their kid... so there's that.

Her being married before shouldn't really bother you so much in and of itself if you're thinking seriously about being with her for more than just your make out session...

Just remember not to mess with the emotions of a single mom because she has a bigger responsibility than dating...

I am a Christian. And so is she. Her reasons for being divorced are borderline whether it’s OK with my faith.. I wish she didn’t have a child with this loser who is 15 years older than her. it’s hard for me to get past that. I don’t know.

Oh... when you're making out with her you're fine, but when it comes time to be a gentleman you're suddenly SUPER Christian. I've got your ticket dbag. Don't trifle with a single mom.
