Just wanted to jump in here. Several of us found our new loves on Dating Sites. The statistics are that 1 out of 5 long term Rs meet this way. Welcome to the new Millenium!
I was VERY careful about who I actually met. I made my own list of dealbreakers and walked away when I knew I had to.
I have been with Josh for over 7 years. We are happy. I met him on Lava Life. Had good luck on Yahoo dating as well. A bit on Match.
As for sex without love or some kind of commitment - not for me! I think it would have added to my stress not taken it away. Call ME a prude but I held off a bit until we were more comfortable and then when we made love - it was wonderful!
