Frst Steps

After receiving the "heart to heart" e-mail from my daughter............I decided to take the leap. I signed up on an Internet Dating Site. The HORROR!!! I'm Terrified!!!! On the outside I look like confident, together, intelligent woman - on the inside it's a totally different story........

I've been divorced for 12 years and have been very happy with my life as it is. I have very close girl friends who I spend time with - going to dinner, the movies, and vacations. My son lives out of state and I visit him and his family a couple of times a year. I have a great, challenging job and work with wonderful people - I volunteer - I'm a busy person. But as I edge closer and closer to my retirement years, I see that my wise daughter is correct. It is possible that there is a great man out there waiting to meet me.

So - I went to a popular web site. Completed the profile and waited for my matches to arrive. Arrive they did - I received the first 6 matches. To my disappointment most of them were between 62 and 70. Oh my goodness - I'm having trouble realizing I'm over 50 (and I substantially past the 50 land mark), so dating a 70-year-old seems totally out of the question. So I change my "potential match age range" and hope for the best.

Stay tuned for what comes next......................
