When you least expect it, it happens, it does. You are an incredible woman. The right man will see that in you.<br /><br />I like that quote. Unfortunately, we have to fall so that we can rise again and be more steady on our feet.<br /><br />((Heather))Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06266946886325317958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367761429020318168.post-71105277755316740792009-07-30T10:28:54.074-07:002009-07-30T10:28:54.074-07:00Thanks Shannon-I appreciate the comment.
I am n...Thanks Shannon-I appreciate the comment. <br /><br />I am not pinning my hopes on eHarmony-I didn't expect much from it to begin with despite having a couple of friends who have had success with it. But it would be nice if at least one person out of 70 found me attractive! (I didn't have a picture yet when the one initiated contact).<br /><br />After meeting James, I never thought I would have to start over again & I never in a million years would have guessed it would be as a 35 year old widow. As a lot of young widows are finding out, a lot men view that as a negative-they don't want to compete with a ghost. Yes, there are good ones out there, and I know I just need to bide my time.<br /><br />As for getting out of the house, I volunteer several times a month. I just took a photography class and I joined several meetup groups as ways to meet others. About 90-95% of the people who volunteer & go to the meetup events are women. At volunteer events, the men that attend are either there with their wife/gf or are high school/college kids completing service credits for class. I do need to attend more meetup events-however, most of those are centered around alcohol, which I am allergic to or are late at night on a weeknight. I know I can go and not drink, but quite frankly, I have absolutely no interest in that as even the smell of it is enough to give me a headache.<br /><br />Setbacks are common on this path and yesterday was just a bad day. We had record-breaking heat which was miserable in itself and I had the added bonus of feeling like a ugly, bloated cow on top of it.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15133504320361109502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367761429020318168.post-36832254619011189962009-07-30T04:44:36.984-07:002009-07-30T04:44:36.984-07:00Heather...
For the love of God, Please forget ...Heather...<br /> For the love of God, Please forget EHarmony!!! They are quacks! You are a one in a million! You can't see that on freakin' EHarmony! Half of them weirdo's lie anyway. You need to pry yourself away fromm the house and get out more. I know it's hard, but you will find happiness. After my divorce.. I didn't date or go out for 2 years (didn't want to) had had it with men in general. Until I met my husband at the hospital where I work, I still was apprehensive. He had two kids (very small) red flag to me and was going through a messy divorce, another red flag. I thought, what the hell am I getting myself into, I just got out of this hell and I don't want to get back into that again. But it turned out well and we have a beautiful family now, two kids of our own, and his kids are with us every weekend. It all works out WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. So hold tight, it will happen for you, like I told you before, but don't have so much faith in those stupid on-lie dating services. They are a joke. Everyone I know has had the same problem you have had. (Sorry so long, just being a friend...:(Shannonnoreply@blogger.com
