I have a 5 week old baby girl, and while I haven’t tried dating exclusively, I’ve been talking to people. Just meeting people and trying to get to know them a bit. But as soon as I tell them I’m a mom they stop talking to me. I guess the advice I’m looking for would be how not to let it affect me so much. I feel super disappointed and honestly kind of hurt that i would have good genuine conversations or meeting with someone and then they just judge me or think differently of me and end up “ghosting” me all because of my baby. Should I just like give up on trying to talk to anyone or should I wait a bit longer for when my baby is older or just wait and see if someone will try to talk to me instead?

(I’ve been single for over a year now if that helps. And while I’m not looking to seriously date I am open to having a relationship if the right person comes along.) I just don’t know what the right move for myself is at the moment.

Edit: thank you for those of you who have commented so far. I just also want to clarify I’m not technically dating. A lot of this is just trying to meet new people, (moms included and prioritized!) lol so that I won’t go crazy staying at home. I can’t work yet and being not able to work or even get out of the house is taking a HUGE toll on me.
