Thanks Karen (congrats to you, Karen!) and Tom. My woman friend has done the online dating thing but it was at a time when she was kind of out of her mind so I won't judge her results as typical! My uncle tells me that his sister met her H on Yahoo and they've been married 20 years now. What I've noticed in my year and half of singlehood is that meeting people is really difficult and I'm a guy whose been out there keeping pretty darn active. I just get the feeling women are very cautious, and in fact, overly so. This may be because they don't want to mess up whatever activity they are involved in by being open to a R. For example, if you attend the same church any involvement could turn out badly and one of you or both of you may be uncomfortable returning to that environment, so better not to. It's the same thing in a work environment or any other activity. I guess the nice thing about online dating is that all parties are there saying "I want to find somebody" for whatever. It's likeminded people, with no mutual ties that can be endangered and that lets people be open. Well, just thinking out loud. Before I step into that kind of world though, I really want to feel confident in myself. I want to know that I will have boundaries and be comfortable with letting something go if it isn't what I want. It's hard to know when that is without actually doing it but those are my thoughts for now. AT, I don't travel that Queen's Highway so I really couldn't answer about the radar. I was out of town this morning, driving an hour and a half to a small town for a gymnastics meet and traffic was unbelievably great for a long weekend. Btw, D12 put in a kick ass performance, best of the season so far. Lots of gold medals today. One more meet next weekend...and yes, I did go with STBX.
