Miss Match
No witty thoughts today. Just realizing that being on my own means I am wholely responsible for my life. Having said that, I am also realizing that I am such a social creature, I need to do things with people. After being married for so long, you develop relationships with other married people. It becomes much harder to meet quality single people when you are older, because you're much more settled in your career, and have less leisure time, like you did in college. At the suggestion of a friend, I joined Match.com. I've sent out about 100 e-mails. I've only received 2 returns, and they said "Sorry, not a match. Good luck in your search." My profile has been viewed 25 times. Nothing like setting yourself up for rejection. I think I'm going to rethink this approach. It's one thing to be rejected by people you know, but being rejected by people you've never met kinda hurts.

Ron, I met Steve through an online dating service, Christian Mingle.com. I think it's now called Relationships.com. But that was after eight years of being single. Hang in there. Don't be in a hurry. God may have things to teach you in this interim that you didn't know about. I tried Match.com and found that it's very secular, and more about people wanting sex, or a fling, not a long-term relationship. Also try E-Harmony. It didn't work for me, but I know it's a good place to try. But again, I caution you...don't be in a hurry. In love, your sister in Christ, Heidi
ReplyDeleteRon, having been single for some time - I agree with Heidi. It took me five years to find the person I was meant to be with. God had a lot to show and teach me during that time and anything I tried to do before He was ready for me failed. Don't be in a hurry - it will happen and when it does, you'll know that it is the right time for it to be happening. Judi
