I do want to address the subject of online dating and expectations. I personally think online dating is the killer of dating. People all of a sudden get these high expectations and no one person can fill those expectations. There is all of a sudden complete loss of sight. There are so many choices a lot of people will get that deer in the head light stance. They are scared to move forward and they freeze in the land of the what if. What if I meet the person and it is a disastor, what if someone better is on here, what if. Now we have found one we both like each other and exchange emails. We don't know each other. We can't see each other through body language. It is like walking through a mine field. What can one write to someone without turning them away. Write to much then they might run. Write to less they see you as not interested and run. Ask to call or text to soon and then they worry you are moving to fast, scammer, player etc. and some take it as a game to feed their egos. These are the ones I feel bad for, they will forever be dating their computers most likely unable to have a healthy relationship. I would like to make a suggestion. Stay on here look around. People have met and had wonderful relationships from this site. Also go out in the tactile world. We have groups in our area that are listed on meetup. I have not joined any of the single groups on there but I have joined some of the other groups and enjoyed meeting different people from all different parts of life . I have my friends yet I also enjoy meeting new people. I have found some groups, you can meet single people, married people, different races, all educational back grounds. I joined one we met for dinner once a month and usually around thirty or more would show up and we would do dinner and drinks. I watched some relationships slowly begin. If you have a good host you should never feel awkward or strange going. If not "nothing ventured, nothing gained". Deep breaths see on line for what it is and try to enjoy what time you spend here. Best wishes on finding what you are looking for
