Divorced at 42 with two young kids at home, the thought of online dating seemed like a great idea. How cool would it be to find a date from my own home while sipping on a glass of wine in my pjs? After posting on all the usual single websites, I finally learned that it wasn't so fun after all. Sipping on wine became finishing the whole bottle.  Sending endless notes to the people I thought were a good potential resulted in an array of interesting suitors. I usually only agreed to a drink as it was an easy escape. I remember meeting a guy at a bar in ct and thought we hit it off. After a night of cocktails and making out like teenagers in my car, I thought “wow - he may be the one”. His promises of calling me and texting me the next day had me on a high for the rest of the night. After 2 days of not hearing from him, I came to the conclusion that he must be dead. I mean why else wouldn’t he call me….? So since I decided he was dead I moved on (only after another few glasses of sauvignon blanc).  I did go on some great dates over the years and met some great men. Some didn’t work out romantically. However, a few are still good friends of mine. After another bad date my friends, single and married would ask “why and how do you keep putting yourself out there? Isn’t it depressing to get rejected, ghosted and sometimes outright used?” My reply would be - “there is someone out there and I will continue to search”. My self-esteem was shot, I became slightly depressed and continued my habit of wine tasting. Online dating became a part-time job that I wasn’t getting paid for. But I forged on and continued to date and date and date. I had two relationships before I found the love of my life. I knew right away it was different and he was different. I also knew that if I didn’t keep at it, I would have never, ever met him. So there is hope for everyone. I wish I had a “me” when I was dating. Someone in my corner making me laugh, drink less and help me through a lot of lonely nights.
