Do you think online dating is only for the young and the dumb? No
true! Many men and women of all ages are finding the love of their
life through online dating I did it so you can too.
Oh no, single again!
When I separated from husband number three, I was 47 years old and
very afraid that she would never find a good man to love. i read all those
stories about how a woman over 40 is more likely to be hit by
lightning to marry again. It’s all nonsense. Your life is
determined by the state of your consciousness.
When you end an unhappy chapter of your life, it means that you have
some soul searching and spiritual work to do. if you are willing
to do the work required to heal your emotional wounds and resentments,
you can write a new chapter with a very different ending. I went through
a true “Dark Night of the Soul” after my third divorce, but I had such
a big and stubborn ego that the only way he was going to learn the lessons that
I needed to learn was to be completely humble.
I didn’t really find my own spiritual truth until I lost everything else. I take
some time, but finally I changed my life completely
all fronts: health, finances, work and relationships.
As you get older, it becomes more difficult to meet eligible men. Plus
and more people of all ages are using online dating to find their
someone special. My story should give you a lot of confidence that you

geographic location. When you have trouble meeting the requirements

try.

find my soul mate
Two weeks after moving into the new house I bought, I met my soul
companion. It all started several months earlier, when a woman I knew
showed up at church one Sunday looking good, well dressed
piggyback boy With a sports jacket and pants, not blue jeans, wow!
“He’s not from around here, is he?” I asked him: “Where did you meet him?”
“In Internet!” She answered.
“Are you serious?” I gasped! He told me that there were many nice men in
our age group using online dating sites and encouraged me to try

They could see each other at least twice a week. I received emails from New

Didn’t they know how to read?
I have met several good men and dated them for a period of weeks or
months, but no one really clicked with me. That was good. It was fun
checking the website to see who contacted me, then writing and
talking to many different men. Sure, some were losers or jerks, but most
they were just decent guys who wanted to meet their special woman
and fall in love
The whole experience restored my faith in the male of the species. I saw
that most men want someone to love as much as we do
women do. They touched my heart and strengthened my resolve to continue

I read some of the success stories posted on the site and noticed that in
In many cases, the woman had made the initial contact. she fed me
the confidence to attempt my own search instead of just answering those
who contacted me. I was wondering if there might be someone interesting who
lived anywhere near. My search turned up dozens of men living
within an hour by car.
Something immediately drew me to Stephen’s profile. He lived
in a nearby village right at the foot of the mountain. Her face was blurred
in her photo, but she was wearing a tank top, which revealed
his muscular arms. I’m a sucker for a big pair of biceps,
so i contacted him via email. On his online dating profile she said she liked him
to write poetry, so in the subject line I wrote: “Your muse awaits you.”
He was intrigued by my message. I wasn’t quite sure what a muse
it was and I had to look it up in the dictionary. (A muse is someone who is
an inspiration for an artist, especially a poet). He later told me that my
a clever and romantic line made her day.
We wrote to each other several times and then talked on the phone for
several weeks. It sounded pretty casual on the phone and I wasn’t
I sure wanted to meet him. However, he was persistent and
he convinced me to meet him at a coffee shop called Grounds for
Enjoyment. Little did I know how prescient this would turn out to be!
I still didn’t know what his face looked like. Oh but there was no mistake
about those biceps! I assumed that his appearance would be nothing special.
because of the blurry photo. I kept my expectations low and my mind
open, so that I would not be disappointed, no matter what.

He was waiting outside when he pulled up in his purple Explorer. He got
He got out and walked towards me and my heart almost stopped! He was tall,
slim and very handsome, half Italian with dark hair and
eyes, an aquiline nose and a strong jaw. she wore a black
leather jacket that immediately reminded me of my old high school
swains in New Jersey.
We greeted each other and then, impulsively, he gave me a hug. she caught me
guard, but I liked it, and it was okay for me to do it.
We hit it off immediately. We talked for hours that first night.
Before heading back to the mountain, I told him that it felt like family.

We dated, got engaged, and then married a year and three months later.
Online dating worked out for me better than I could have dreamed!

Great relationships are created through your awareness (as is
everything else in your life). That’s what I know to be true through me
personal experience. A great love is possible for each one of us, so
do not give up! Online dating could be the perfect way to meet
your soul mate just as it was for me.
