I recently connected with a childhood friend. Don’t you just love the internet?!
Both of us were newly married. At the time I was just over 6 years and she is just over 2 years. This is not a first marriage for either of us. When I asked her how she met her husband she told me at an online dating site. I excitedly told her that’s how I met my husband too. How exciting to share this!
She said she is not a ‘geek’, did not use the internet much at all, but decided to sign up at an online dating site. The short story is she saw his profile and clicked to send a message, he replied, they chatted, met, and the rest is ‘history’.
What I want you to know from this story is:
1) No matter what age, or how many years it has been since being in the dating scene, do take this first step. Online dating is easier because you can choose who you want to connect with.
2) Your profile is very important. Always think ‘first impressions’, so a good picture of yourself is important (and do be honest with the picture) and be honest about yourself. You will get connections from those who like who you are.
So much to share…stay tuned for more!
