Yes Zeroturbulance, Jullianna, and OceanGrl, it went way better than anticipated.
In an act of desperation (let's call it what it is), I opened an account on CM and a few free sites to see who is out there. Note that I did not pay for the service at first. I just wanted to browse
Anyway, I crafted my profile to appeal to a certain type of woman (90% of the female population probably looked at it and rolled their eyes).
Three weeks ago tomorrow I received an email from an attractive girl who entitled it "Good Ol' Clive Staples." Something inside was telling me to pay through the nose to pay just so I could read it.
So I did. Anyway, since that time we exchanged emails about every topic under the sun and really connected in ways I didn't even think were possible. It got to the point that I considered someone rifled through everything I ever posted on the internet and built my composite dreamgirl in order to swindle me.
That is how strange and serendipitous this was.
Naturally, I agreed to meet her and make the day of it (she lives two hours away).
So we did! At first I had my doubts. Not because of her- I was stressed and when I get stressed I don't get angry or sad, I just get odd. More dorky than my usual self.
She didn't seem to mind. We just talked. The date lasted for about 14 hrs. And now I am back home wishing I was two hours away again.
We're making plans to meet up again very soon.
Needless to say, I cannot thank each and every one of you enough.
