Online Dating Does Work
40 year old female
from Mississippi I met my husband online five years ago
when edating was more of a taboo than it is today.
Having been divorced for three years, I wasn't in
a hurry to meet Mr. Right or Mr. Right Now. Curiosity
and frustration with the quality/quantity of men I
was meeting in bars, blind dates, etc., were the driving
factors behind my decision to go online to date.
After three months of chatting online, dating and
getting numerous emails from potential dates (and a
few from the "usual freaks"), my self esteem
was at an all time high. Because of all the attention,
I realized I did not have to "settle" for
someone who was less than what I really deserved (which
was usually what I did) just to have someone to be
with.
Shortly after that revelation, I met my husband who
decided to look into edating because his best friend
had met someone online. His best friend is still married
to his online find. A year after we met, we became
engaged and now have a two-year-old daughter.
When we became engaged, people would ask how we met.
I would watch their eyebrows rise up into their hairlines
as I proudly announced that we'd met ONLINE.
Online dating may still garner sarcastic remarks from
some. But, I'm here to say that it does work. Success
often depends on the attitude in which you approach
it and what you expect to get out of it. My success
was two-fold. Not only did I get a much needed boost
to my self-esteem, I now have a beautiful little family.
