Jenna,

I am new here and it is all thanks to a very successful online dating story So I thought I would post and let you know that they can work. Last fall I decided it was time to get my social life going again and being a divorced single mom had no idea how to go about meeting people. Most of the people I know are married and only have married friends, not into the bar scene much myself, was not working outside of the home, and just approaching some random person at the grocery store is not my style . So I sat at my puter and put up an ad on Yahoo personals. I didn't even join...hehehe. You just can't respond to ads if you are not a paying member, but you can email back the people that respond to your ad. So anyway second or third response I had sounded very promising indeed. Or at least intrigued me enough to email him back with more than the cursory thanks. A few more emails and boy I was really intrigued. Then came the IM's and about 2 days later phone conversations. I never would have expected to give out my # so readily, but something just felt right. This is where it is okay to follow your intuition. We met in person about 10 days or so into talking everyday. I did take the precautions of meeting in a public place and making sure I let a friend know where I was going and with whom. And 3 months later here I am, so incredibly in love, more than I ever expected. And he found the key that unlocked the door not only to my heart, but to my deepest sexual fantasies. I believe we are just beginning to scratch the surface of what all of that means for me and us, and it is truly the most exciting time of my life. I too like you have been on a personal journey of discovery and am learning new things about myself each and everyday. And having someone open and honest and understanding to share that journey with is wonderful.

btw...he introduced me to pixies and I thank him for it! I think I am going to like it here. I certainly have so far

I hope hearing another success story helps. And I wish you luck both on your personal journey and on the potential of having a shared journey of your own.
