Dating after being single for two years

Hi I am 26 years old and I just started dating again after being single for two years I am a mother of the two-year-old little boy and I just want some tips about getting back into the dating world meeting new people I’m a pretty shy person and most of the guys I’ve dated were blind date set up by my friends but with the track record of her I don’t think I want to go down that road again I’ve actually met a really nice young gentleman is a single father is just I don’t know how to keep our conversations interestingWhere I can see if this is going to go somewhere he does ask is me very interesting questions that I think I’m able to answer pretty well I’ve got to know a lot about him and I revealed the lead about myself that I would really do so if your moms have any tips about this subject or if even if you’re not a mom I would love the advice
