I think there are some online sites that are just fine. My equine vet found his new wife over a christian dating site. They are both older like me (50's). I met both of them when shopping just after they got married......she is wonderful & even has her PhD in psychology.....go figure. They are a wonderful couple & he finally has someone that is great for him.....long time in coming for him too.

My daughter even met her boyfriend on line.....they were communicating for quite a while....then she moved back to Colorado & got to know him better. Then they lived together for awhile.....then they bought a home. They seem to be getting along quite well considering the fighting she grew up with us.

I agree with you in that it is good to be up frount with some things about yourself.....however there are some things that shouldn't be discussed until you find someone that is interested......then work slowly into the information you have about yourself. I know I opened up in a totally different situation & it almost came back to bite me. That situation had the police involved & it was a theft situation that they knew too much about me & took it to the police to hold against me.....that is why I have learned to be very closed with information about myself.

The vet I talked about above was asking me about finding someone else after the divorce.....told him that I need much self time & don't want to get involved for quite a while if ever. He said that was a great idea since most of the people he knows were looking to find someone immediataly after the divorce.

Sky.....I love your quote....I too am sure they are out to get me at times too and right now I feel that way.

I just need to be free for quite a while but hope your search for dating will be successful.....just be careful & be cautious.
