I was a single woman for a long time. When I was about 50,
I was asked more and more by my friends and not only: “You are still single?”, “Don’t you want to get married?”
I was not sure what the right answer would be. I just wondered:
“Why do they I ask me this? Is it anything wrong with me? Isn’t it my business?!”
Some of my friends wanted to encourage me telling me stories how they appreciate that they found life partners again, after they got divorced or after a period of 5 or more years. Some of them suggested to go for online dating.
My answer was: ”NEVER!!!!”
I had a real bias against online dating so why should I do it? But the bug was there, doing his job well.
After my inner work, my curiosity won and as usual, instead of “Why?” I created my “What ifs”.
“What if I started dating.”
“What if I found a man that I would be happy with.”
“What if I tried online dating.”
There is always a time to complain. And there is always a time to learn. When is the best one? NOW!
After more “what ifs” I decided. I am going to try. I started. First, it was a journey full of confusion, joy, surprises, excitement, disappointment, awe, wonder, ups and downs. There were fiascos. I was disappointed. I was upset, but as well as I was sure, there must be a way. I decided not to give up, but enjoying it and to find out how it works. I learned and learned and tested. I was having fun. One day it happened. I met the ONE.
