I tried online dating for about 3 months. I had prayed about it and thought I heard to stop striving and know that he is God. I didn`t know if that was Gods advise or my fear and I joined online dating anyway.

I had about 5 dates. I`ve closed my accounts today it is clearly not for me. Generally men do not ask me out in real life so I`m worried that without online dating I will not get any dates. I`ll try and socialize more because no one will find me at home, but in my heart I have given up hope.

I wish I could get over my unhealthy like of food and eating when I am lonely. My weight has really reduced the pool of men that want to date me and my race is a sort of hindrance to dating where I live as well. However even if I was slim I do not meet many new men.

I guess it is not really about wanting to date, I am just lonely and need to make friends, something I have never ever been good at in the past.

There was a point where I was very happy being single. I wish I could feel that way again.
 
Please do not give up hope. I was single for 18 years after an horrific first marriage. I met my future wife on an AOL, Romance Christian Singles chat site. I met her sister there first but she was just basically flirting and not interested in me. One night she left her computer on while doing an errand of some sorts and her older sister started to write to me. In a couple weeks we were writing actual letters to each other and talking on the phone. Two months into this courtship I flew to Maine to meet her in person. While there I decided that there was no way that I was going to leave her there so I bought a plane ticket for her and we flew back to Orlando together. Two months later we were married. This was in 2002. She died a few months ago but I still thank God for bringing her into my life and take comfort in knowing that she is no longer in pain.

I am lonely too. I really do not want to make friends, but will be most content with having that one special friend in my life.
 
HI FEMALE Canadian contend!

Well! I like that honesty (thank you).

I have many love stories. In fact, when I got divorced, some ladies helped me to stay alive and, years passed that I met Monica online (the second Monica) and, after a full year sharing, I went to Colombia and she moved, with me home in Venezuela... It was a whole year togeter! (alone for me, He! He!) I think I was happier than those 13 years I spent married in Venezuela and, it was my plan to marry her (Monica) by the time we decided to move to Colombia... There something changed (I think I don´t belong to Catholism and those bonds she had there: like going to the disco, wearing small skirts, etc), so I decided to come back (alone) to Venezuela.

If you badly need a friend (jus a friend) dared to read a couploe of my blogs. If you see anything good in my secula life, let me know about it. I have few personal friends and, to let you know how I am, I can tell you that i spent 5 months in Colombia, and señdom phonecalled my 3 children, just because I feel the need to share with those who have something I know, essencially: same faith and same views.

If you plan to keep on those online site, just learn on how many times those guys have dated another person or how many times the have been engaged: The more persons engaged (or kissed) will give you and idea of the person you are (...) to open your eyes.
