I'll tell you how I met my fiance. A little over 2.5 years ago I felt like the biggest loser in the world when I turned to a webpage to try and connect with some women. Well I went on and chatted with a lot of different women. On a Friday night I drove to Toronto, live approximately 1 hr. from there, and met this nurse who was originally from Egypt. Well she turned out to be some kind of a kook. See I am physically disabled and walk with a bad gait, so this lady all of a sudden said that she wanted me to move in with her and that she would take care of me etc., etc. Well this scared the hell out of me cause I may walk a little funny as compared with others but I am more than capable of looking after myself thank you very much. Then on Saturday I was to met a woman and this first experience almost stopped me but I went anyway. She and I had been chatting it up for some time and finally she gave me her real name and phone number. So we started conversing on the phone and arranged a place to meet, we live about 2.5 hrs away from one and other so we met half way. Well everything that could go wrong with my car did but that didn't stop us from having a very enjoyable day. We met at a coffee shop, then went to a dairy bar and had a bite to eat. Then we returned and got some coffee to go and went and sat at side of river. River was frozen however as it was March and here in Canada that's what it's like. But we sat there for hours just talking and learning of each others interests, dersires, hopes and dreams. We really connected and I knew when I saw her walking into the coffee shop with that confident strut that this was one fine lady. Well as I said there was lots of car problems and by the time I returned home the day ended up costing me over $750.. But I did not turn this lady off at all and as a matter of fact she was pretty impressed how I handled the situation by remaining calm and not getting angry. She had come from an abusive relationship and so wasn't use to a man handling bad luck so well. So then we began seeing each other each and every weekend and now 2.5 years later we are engaged and getting married next May 20. Your 37 years old so I'm sure that you realize that communication is the most import element in a good relationship, and we are blessed that we are able to do just that. My lady actually sounds a bit like you and your what you see is what you get attitude. She did not wear makeup on our initial meeting as she likes the natural look and I'm glad that she didn't try to be someone other than who she is. At the time we were 47 and 45 years old and the last thing either of us was looking for was a long term relationship, but Karma works in mysterious ways. I'm sorry I've been rambling on about us so long that I forgot to tell you were we met. It was a dating service on-line called Findsomeone.com. At the time it was a free service but I think they may charge a fee now but am uncertain for sure. I wish you every success in finding a new relationship. Stay true to your ideals and be yourself. There are a lot of sicko's on there but there are some real people too. Best of luck to you and I hope that you can tell a nice story about finding your soulmate someday soon also.

Not on the Internet for one thing. Forget trying to meet someone. Be on your own with your teenager... it will happen when the time is right and when you least expect it. Think about things you like to do, and just do it. Even if you are alone. Just do what you enjoy doing, because if you are doing what you like to do, and you meet someone, then you know you like to do the same things. Don't look for love, it always brings the wrong ones in.. haha.. just do what comes next in life, things fall into place if we don't force it.
