Online dating and chat rooms has to be the best way to get together nowadays. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

Hahahahaha!!!!!
Hubs and I could have been cousins in an alternate universe. My grandmom dated his pop-pop's cousin before my grandpop. Thank god he (the cousin) died young!
ETA: we did meet on craigslist but I haven't been killed. Yet.

I know on-line chat room worked for me with DH#2. But it was a specialized chat room. He had a widowed friend in Michigan that knew my widowed friend here in AZ, and the two of them decided we were OK so they 'allowed' us to meet. No red flags.
I do know that when the word 'widowed' comes up all the creeps in the neighborhood start oozing out of the woodwork. All the creeps want is to lighten the purse and take care of any physical needs. Jerks.

DF is absolutely the last guy I intend to be with. If I outlast him, I'm free at last to travel and enjoy my life. No man need apply!!

Personally I don't really see that many alternatives to online dating, at least for me. I'm not sure how "normal" people meet up, but if you don't have any friends in the area and aren't into the bar scene, your options are kinda limited.

At this point, if I ever find myself not married to my current husband, I think I"m pretty much a "one and done" as far as relationships/marriages go. I have a recently divorced co-worker doing the online dating thing and hearing some of the stories about the guys she meets... ack! No thank you! It sounds awful. If I meet someone in real life that's one thing but I don't think I would seek out a relationship online that's full of anonymous creepy dudes... There's a lot of "anonymous creepy dudes" in real life too. If someone you meet online isn't right for you, you just break it off. |
