It always makes me happy to hear success stories like yours and Carrie's in the post above. =)<br /><br />I will give it a try in the near future. Maybe once the weather improves a little. My BFF and I agreed today when talking that I am not quite ready to take the plunge.

I definitely agree with not wasting too much time so I will probably be more proactive next time around to have a phone conversation or public meet up sooner rather than later.

Yikes that's a lot of years and bad dates! I figure for every 10 guys I met, 1 was decent and 9 were duds. I probably went on dates with 20+ guys over the years and meet a couple decent ones. I am telling you that so you don't get discouraged when you meet a dud. I met my current boyfriend on okcupid and we will eventually be married. Online dating works. It just takes time and patience. Good luck! And if you ever have a bad date and need a good "bad" story to cheer you up, I have plenty!!

I wanted to encourage you to try online dating again when you are ready. After trying it off an on for three years or so, at the age of 35 I met my now husband on eHarmony. There will always be less than honest people online but that's true with people you meet every day too. Just be genuine & don't give those you suspect of being less than genuine any more time than necessary. It makes it easier if you meet (in a public place, of course) or at least talk to the person on the phone fairly quickly and don't spend too much time emailing or texting because it is much easier to cover up who you really are when sending written messages. I wish you luck on this next part of your journey. -Carrie in OklahomaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
