Online Dating

Quote From: loring

     I met my husband through Match/Kiss.com.  Next month is our 5th wedding anniversary and we are as happy and loving today as the day we married. I was looking for a Christian man and my husband is in seminary now.

 

     If you are meeting the wrong kind of guys from my experience it is because your ad needs to be fixed. Maybe you should rethink what you wrote. I met about six men before meeting my husband and yes some lied in their ad (says 6' actually 5'5') but nobody promises that the first person you meet would be "the one".  One piece of advise: I always got there first and left last. When meeting for the fist time I had friends sitting at the next table for my safety and asked their opinion of the guy after he left. 

 

Wow, I never knew. Before I met my husband online (love@aol.com in 1999), I met a few people and had some friends, but never truly took anything very seriously. I met my husband and we started chatting and things just connected. It was also months before I would meet him in person. I was very lucky because I was stupid in that I met him at his house. BUT, I thought it would be safe because his kids were there, which it all worked out fine. We were married in 2000 and are still going strong. We work in law enforcement and have 5 kids (1 together, 3 from his prior marriage and 1 from my prior marriage).

 

I agree with what you do when you meet people. Especially now, you have to be smart. Like I said, I was very fortunate that I met a good man that wasn't a psycho. I also had known that he was a cop and talked to him at work,  so that helped a little. Whoever is trying to meet people online... good luck. Be safe.. Don't be as naieve as I was. I got lucky.. I was safe and it worked out... not many can say that.

 

God Bless
