About a year ago, I rejoined the wonderful world of online dating. Joining a free dating site was definitely interesting, to say the least. The first message I ever received was from a French man that called me "beautiful, ravishing and revolting." Not a very good pick up line in my book.
First dates came and went without a second date ever being discussed. Failed attempts at dating taught me a lot about myself but left me feeling a little hopeless regarding the quality of men that were left in the dating pool. I met some great guys, but those great guys weren't interested in me, or there wasn’t a spark. I met some crazy men that told me stories of them stealing from churches or lied about their alcohol addictions that had them living in a half-way house.
Then, somewhere as the profile searching fizzled out I was introduced to someone that I now call my boyfriend. We met through mutual friends and he is the coolest man I have EVER met. He is genuine and charming. He is sarcastic and witty. He is handsome and strong. He makes me HAPPY.
I think the saying is true that you need to meet a lot of frogs to find your Prince. I needed to meet different men,experience heartbreak and learn about myself in order to be able to open my life up to someone.
Side note: I met Ted's family Sunday and I walked in like a deer in headlights. I have never "met the parents" before. It went great! I love knowing where Ted came from and why he is the way he is today.
He is meeting my family this weekend... wish him luck ;)
