I am in no way ready to date. My divorce is not even final yet but on Valentine's Day, I was feeling a wee bit lonely and I had a few glasses of wine...when out of nowhere on FB, an add for yahoo personals popped up. I filled my glass and went to the site. It allowed you to put in your zip code and pull up available men in your area. I could not read their profiles without joining but I could see their pictures. I laughed til I cried and I even think I tinkled on myself just a little. I need to move away from rural Appalachia before dating!!!! Anyway, I am mending my somewhat broken heart and ready to live vicariously through you. Venture out there! I think eHarmony is a great place to start and can't wait to follow this JOURNEY/ADVENTURE!Margaret Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15243421179418992510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8338568744176253243.post-1718219968290662122009-03-02T20:14:00.000-06:002009-03-02T20:14:00.000-06:00my best friend met her husband on eharmony.

I was hesitant, but i was finally ready to meet someone. I signed up for three months...my last match was with Robert. I was his first match. Of course, he signed up for a year, lol...<BR/><BR/>We started off very slowly....first we communicated via eharmony and then on our own. For 6 months, we emailed and talked on the phone. He lived almost 3 hours from me; it gave us a chance to talk without having to worry about meeting quite yet. I know that i'll get laughed at for this, but before i met him, i told him that i wanted to run a credit check and a police report...and he could do the same on me. After a huge laugh, he agreed. I am cautious by nature and after my first marriage, lol, i felt that i needed to be! After all, this time, i refused to settle and he felt the same way.<BR/><BR/>We married almost 3 years ago...and adopted Emma. <BR/><BR/>E-harmony even sent us a wedding present from Tiffanys. :))<BR/><BR/>I say go for it...but keep other options open like church, etc. What i did like about eharmony is that it asked the questions that were important to me: religion, children, etc. I felt 'safe' on eharmony...i followed the rules and communicated through them. I did meet 3 other men who became really great friends, but no more.<BR/><BR/>Good luck to you on this, Denise, and please update on how things go!~Isabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437976653688457847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8338568744176253243.post-58146296622127992232009-03-02T17:25:00.001-06:002009-03-02T17:25:00.001-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.The Johnson 5https://www.blogger.com/profile/02295171630228842947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8338568744176253243.post-61971122477806335382009-03-02T17:25:00.000-06:002009-03-02T17:25:00.000-06:00GO FOR IT!!

I didn't get married until I was 27 and the pickings were getting slim by that age and I was very picky, too! I can imagine it's hard to know how and where to meet anyone at your age and with kids. But I'd be terribly cautious about doing a matchmaker thing BECAUSE of the kids. There could be some nice people there, but I'd been worried about bringing some nutcase into my kids' lives!<BR/><BR/>Another widower would be great.Aspiemomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720558783668971656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8338568744176253243.post-41419949746453350082009-03-02T09:14:00.000-06:002009-03-02T09:14:00.000-06:00If you're ready then go for it.

My sister is a single mom and she always asks us, where I am supposed to meet a man - the diaper aisle at Publix or the Playschool section at Toys-R-Us? When you've got kids, it's just hard to meet the right guy. I think on-line dating is good idea. Good Luck!

Look at it this way it is in a strange way a compliment to your husband. I know that kind of sounds strange but he completed a piece of you and did it in such a way that you long for that company again. He certainly touched your world in such an awesome way that you hope to find a male friend to try and bring some of that piece that is missing back. You will find the perfect guy and no matter how you find him it is totally all a God thing anyways. If he is meant to be in your life God will put him in it no matter what route you take. Go for it!
