Adding the Soulmate to the Rhythm of Life Through Online Dating
I decided at some point in the year gone by that I would search and find my soul mate online. I had avoided taking this drastic measure for several years but it seemed like everyone I know, including friends and co-workers, are signing on, creating profiles, and looking for love online. If it’s possible for them, then why not for me?
In Pursuit of the Right Notes
Life, just like the notes on a sheet of music, is rhythmic. People may vary but you want to one day hear the full concerto. I knew that when I could find my soul mate, the missing notes in my life would be found. Finding your soul mate can have the enduring effect of adding a rhythm to your life.
Being new to the world of internet dating, I was hesitant about sharing my personal information, while looking for a soul mate online. I did not know what people would be interested in or how much I should actually reveal. To identify the best way to handle them, I started reading methods used by other users which have proven successful. The material that came up through the search was very inspiring.
I found out that out there, I wasn’t the only apprehensive first-timer. The first time Cynderella and her current husband met was in a chat room. She wasn’t from the big city, hence her choices and options when it came to dating were fairly limited. Her friends advised that she should, like me, give internet dating a try.
Cynderella discovered MJ in a week from then. She went through his profile after he first sent her an emoticon showing his interest in her. What she saw intrigued her and she responded. This in turn led to a month filled with IMs and emails flying back and forth between them. The couple finally took it to the next level and met offline.
MJ lived in another state so Cynderella flew to meet him . As soon as she got off the plane she knew she had found her match. “I went from being a nervous Nelly to a self confident woman who would fly across the country to meet a man. I was truly empowered by online dating to take control of my life. Fortunately for me I found my soulmate and we both live together happily…and in the same state” says Cynderella. There were no glass slippers, but the music played loud and clear.
Happy Surprises!
As I continued searching for my soul mate I came across Mark’s story. Mark was still in college when he met H2O. While his friends and he were surfing the internet a pop up came onto their screen promoting an online dating site. As a joke they decided to explore the site.
Later on in the night Mark’s friends made a bet with him. The bet was that if Mark could get a date from the online site within a month, they’d wash his athletic gear for the next one year. Mark decided to take them up on their offer.
He made his profile and started chatting with women, most of whom were highly offended by the bet but Mark continued to be honest for as he says “I wanted to be upfront about the bet so that it doesn’t become an issue later on”.
As the end of the month drew nearer Mark’s hopes for success grew fainter. It looked like he was going to be stuck washing not only his gear but that of all his friends for the next whole year to come.
Two days before the end of the month Mark happened upon a profile and photo that caught his interest. He wrote her an email, she responded immediately and before they knew it they were chatting the whole night. Since H2O also lived in a nearby town, they agreed to meet up at a local movie theatre. She was not offended by the bet. In the words of Mark, this is because “She has a fantastic sense of humour. “We dated for 6 months and knew we wanted to be together forever. Now we are engaged and to be married in 2010.”
Enjoying the Music
While trying to search for love I was led to great success stories, but it also showed me the problems you can face if you are not careful. Mad4You met a wonderful man who matched all of her criteria. “I could not believe we had so many interests in common.” “After just a few chats, I was very attracted” says Mad4You. However, there were problems. A person who says they are divorced from a previous spouse may not be telling the whole truth. He may married now.!”
I was also surprised to discover the number of single parents who are online and searching for love. Many singles reported that they had found great matches with other single parents. If you’re finding true love though, just make sure your kids are compatible too!
It was on an internet dating site that Yellowtutu met the man of her dreams. She was a single mother to 3 teenaged kids. Digthis, whom she connected to, had 2 sons from a previous marriage. They chatted and communicated for months before letting the kids know.
When out on their first date, Yellowtutu’s daughter fell crazily in love with Digthis’s son. The attraction was mutual and they met secretly for over a year without letting their parents know. Eventually Yellotutu and Digthis realized that they weren’t perfect for each other at which point the kids spilt their story.
“Despite not working out for him and me, we still believe that the relationship was entirely worth it all. His son and my daughter are still madly in love, they’ve been married over 3 years and given us 2 beautiful grandchildren” says Yellowtutu. I realized that while I worked to find my soulmate, the online dating adventure could take unexpected turns toward happiness.
Yes…every aspect of life has rhythm. Pay close attention when you find your soulmate, as I will when I find mine. The music will overwhelm you with fuller notes.
