While Deb's honesty is admirable relative to her weight her description, "A few extra pounds," will turn many men away.   

Hi Everyone!  

I was asked to tune in to Dr. Phil's show today.  I'm not sure if it was a new episode but found the male guest Terry quite interesting!  You know how sometimes you mentally script what guest's response should be?  He hit the mark with language and self-observation because his information is similar to my experiences and hopes.  How would gain a conversation with him?  

Don't give up hope of finding your Mr. Right.  I had too, tried Match.com and it certainly didn't work for me.  I don't recall having to fill out the questionaire thing, just what I had wanted my profile to say.  Then again, I know that several of these online dating sites have changed since I was searching to find Mr. Right.  

I am aware that Matchdoctor.com has changed since I deleted my profile, after finding the right guy.  Perhaps you may want to give Matchdoctor a try yourself.  I had several online profiles out there and I would either get responses from the wrong guys or simply no response at all.  

The night I had planned on pulling my profile and giving up on the online-dating thing for a while, was when I had received a reply to my message from the guy I am now married to.  Who would have thought?  

Keep your profile short and simple, get exactly to the point (that is) what you are looking for, what kind of relationship you are wanting to find.  Remember, don't settle for less.  

Best of Luck To You!!  You will find him, just be patient.  

I met my husband online.  It was a fabulous experience.  We both had lots of fun.  There is a very funny and romantic book on a true life online (& successful) dating story.  It's called "From A Virtual Fling To The Real Thing:  Diary Of An Internet Relationship".   

Yes, you can meet weird people online, but you also meet them at work, through sports activities, through friends, etc.  If I hadn't had the courage to try it, I wouldn't have met my husband.  We've been married for just over 4 years now. 

Of course you have to be careful, just like you have to be careful no matter how you meet a person.  Online dating just opens up a whole new world of possibilities.  After all, how else can you meet interesting people all over the country, and indeed, from other countries as well!
