I was recently socializing at a dear friend's bachelorette party, when I discovered that she met her fiance' on a dating website. I was shocked! You see, my friend is a strong woman of God, and her fiance' is her perfect Spirit filled leader. Was it possible to find this depth online?
A friend of hers chimed in, spilling the butterflies and rainbows of her own relationship into the center of our circle. I will let you take one guess as to where their love story began...
Later that very evening, I joined a friend of mine at his pastor's house for a night of football, donuts, and everything else inconceivably unhealthy... minus beer (unfortunately). Half way through the evening I overheard one of the men in the room talking about how he met his WIFE online.
What was happening? Was this a sign? Such a variety of personalities, all of which had a personal relationship with the Lord, finding their Adam's and Eve's in the great big cyber world. Was this the new coffee shop, lingering stares, starting a conversation over a book, love story breeding ground?
With all of that being said, I decided to join a dating website. Yes, it is true. I wouldn't say that I joined with the intentions of finding my soul mate. Moreso, I was curious as to whether there was potential for a healthy relationship to blossom via the internet.
That leads me to this blog.
I am going to chronicle my experiences as a member of a dating website. I am going to be vulnerable. I am going to be humorous. I am going to be honest. Along with my personal tell tales, a select few stories from close friends, joining me on this journey, will be accounted for.
Please note, I am not a professional writer. I can 100% inform you that I don't have a clue as to how I am going to build this blog into anything wonderful. It will be sloppy. It will be a growing experience. And I am elated to share it all with you!
