Right after my sons first birthday things went wrong with me and his Father. We split up shortly after and I thought my life was over. I was approaching thirty and found myself single. I was a single mother of two children who worked two jobs to keep our heads above water. I stayed single and was happy with that for a while, but when the day came that I was ready to start dating again I was lost. I didn’t know where to start or how to meet men.
I worked two jobs and raising two kids on top of that consumed most of my time, besides where are you suppose to meet the right man???
Church, well the best days to work for a waitress are the weekends so I never found myself inside a church. They say you meet your spouse at work and since I worked at a Truck Stop I didn’t have much luck there either. You can meet someone through your friends and well since my friends are not the best match makers I stayed away from asking them for help. I was closing in on my thirties and with two kids I had to be smart, which meant not bringing guys home from the clubs or random strangers. I had to be careful who I introduced to my children and that closed lots of doors for me.
After being single and finding myself lonely for attention from the opposite sex I started listening to others and how they were meeting people. I had a couple of friends who were searching the internet for companionship and so I decided to give it a try.
If you get online and google search Dating you would be amazed at how many results pop up, 738,000,000 to be exact. There are tips on how to get a date, tips on how to keep a man interested and also dating wed sites. Most of the dating web sites give you a month free and so I started to investigate.
I remember starting on Zoosk a famous dating site, but without paying a monthly fee you are limited on what you can do so I looked at more. There are tons of web sites devoted to finding you your soulmate. I made my rounds from Match.com to eHarmony.com and was not willing to pay to find a date. I finally found Plenty of Fish and was pleased to see no monthly fee required so I made a profile and started searching the web for a mate.
The more I was online searching for a date I realized that most of the people on these sites where only out for fun and sex, they weren’t serious about long term. I stayed with it and made boundaries that I refused to cross. The longer I was on this site I started to get requests from other sites like Facebook of Sex and Bang You Later, which just proved my theory even more. The internet was full of Fuck sites not Dating sites.
I stayed with Plenty of Fish for about six months meeting tons of people who wanted a good time but not much more then that. I eventually met a man who was everything I wanted and with time became the true love story that most of the dating sites brag about.
My kids love him and we have been living together for two years now. I love him and am glad to have found him among all the people online.
I still think that if you are not careful you can get caught up in the sex and party side of these sites, but if you make boundaries and stick to them you may find your soulmate. I did and I am very lucky to have found my happiness.
