Oh hon, I feel your pain. When I was 22 I had a 6 week old baby and an abusive husband. I left him and went to live with my parents. It was hard, but worth it. Right now you need to focus all your love and attention on your child. You do not need to parade men through that child's life. Get yourself together. Get an education. Get independant. THEN start looking for a boyfriend or husband. I know it's so so so hard. It's lonely. But at some point I realised it was not my husband or a man that I missed, but the companionship. Funnel all of that into your child and when he is older and well adjusted and you are independant go for the dating scene. I did that and now am very happily married at age 30 with a brand new baby. My son is happy, smart, articulate and has a strong bond with me and his adoptive dad. I know it's hard but do this for your child. You are all that baby has, so do it right and focus on a happy future for you and your child. Good luck and I hope you are able to hang in there.

make sure you screen your prospects carefully. You dont want to introduce tons of guys to your 1 year old. Babies love people:) But I think you should date if you think your ready. Btw I respect the fact that you think of the baby first. your a good mom..
