After a few months of endless travel and long hours at work, I decided that eventually I'd have to go back to online dating. I can't complain about being alone if I'm not willing to put in the effort to find someone. Prince Charming isn't going to fall into my lap. He's going to need some convincing and perhaps an invitation. Maybe he's lost and needs directions, who knows? I'd do it gradually and take it slow. My ego was still pretty bruised. While away on travel I'd log into my account occasionally just to view profiles and I'd add the ones that I thought had potential to my favourites list. When work slowed down I'd dive in a bit more seriously and write to those that had the most in common with me based on their profile and what I was looking for.
My profile would stay hidden, I wasn't ready to deal with emails just yet. I gave my profile a once over and made some minor changes. A friend provided feedback and I agreed with his recommendations to "Keep it simple". One day at a time, there was no rush.
Funny how you can be a consummate planner and plan things to the nth degree, but nothing ever seems to turns out the way you expect. That's the story of our lives! Definitely the case for me.
Stay tuned for another interesting round. At least I can honestly say my life is anything but boring. One day I'll look back on all of this and laugh. For now, I'll live it and keep my readers entertained.
Wish me luck!
