I have been single now for the past 8 years. In that time I have tried match.com and eharmony with no luck at all. Yes I met some strange men. Nearly stalked. Had one date bolt on me, one that wanted to buy my affections, one that thought I was hiding a million dollar trust fund until I got to know him (haha!). Freaks, weirdos, players, married men. That was all, nothing I was ever hoping for.

Then a while ago friends started bugging me to try plentyoffish.com as it is completely free unlike the other sites. I put it off for months until I saw they would not stop bugging me until I did. Finally I relented when I met someone a friend met there and he was so down to earth and genuine. So the next day I joined.

Well I have to say I am so glad I gave it a second look becuase I have met a great guy I otherwise would never have run into! We started talking on day 2 of my profile being posted, and I haven't dated anyone else although I have been contacted by lots of men I would consider getting to know better if this does not work out. BUT I have a feeling that I will not need to look any further!

We live in neighboring towns, have tons of common interests, and haven't once run out of things to talk about. Yes, there is silence at times, but it is never uncomfortable at all. So far we are totally compatible and he is a very romantic guy too!

He is also divorced and he has no kids. We share hobbies and love of travel and so much other things! He volunteers at his church youth group and is really just a nice all around guy. My friends have met him as well and he fits into the group nicely. For once in a very very long time, I can see that this relationship has the chance to be a big one!


So if you have tried online dating, and found frogs in the past, maybe it is time to try something different like another site.
