When I was a kid, “personal ads” were the Match.com of the day. They were something we read in the back of the paper and laughed about. They seemed really silly and I was sure all the people who placed them were entirely weird. I assumed the same would be true of everyone on Match.com, eHarmony and Yahoo! Personals.
It’s not all freaks today. I met some nice folks through Match.com. For instance, I dated a very nice guy who is a respectable lawyer. He is a great guy and we’re still friends. We just weren’t the right romantic match. I ran into some odd ducks as well, I admit, but no one scary or dangerous. Okay, one guy was scary, but I'll save that story for another post. I knew he was scary by phone, I never met him. Use common sense. If someone seems really weird, move on. It’s still better than trying to meet someone in a bar, for goodness’ sake.
In the last six years, I have been to two weddings that resulted from on line dating. Both marriages appear to me be happy, reasonable, long lasting unions. It’s the wave of the future; get on board.
I truly believe that it is more than possible to find someone and build a relationship through dating websites. I myself have never tried, maybe because I am from old school when the subject is love. I still believe that it can happen anywhere, with anyone and when we never expect it to happen.

Thanks for writing - that makes me feel good! :-)
