So my experiences with online dating can both be bad as well as good. Even though I am still married (Seperated) I have met some very wonderful people over the internet and most of the time none of them seemed to click with me or things just for some reason in my life didn't make it possible because after all I am not ready even though I feel single.
There are still steps to go through as far as getting a divorce, but I wouldn't rule it out because there are people who you can get to know very well as I think a lot of people forget to do, they just jump into the dating scene without ever being a friend. I used to play a game for years called Second Life, it is a social game and it can be nice depending on if you find someone near your area, but I never really found much excitement with it, people were too fake and it seemed to really be hard meeting someone who was genuine.
I wouldn't say that online dating is not possible as it is, but I think you really have to go through a lot to meet the right one, kind of like real life. Recently I posted on another pen pal website and really wasn't having any luck, but then someone happened to email me.
Now this may sound crazy and some of you are probably going to laugh, but honestly it is the best thing to happen to me in a long long time. Again don't poke fun at me because I was not expecting to meet someone who had such a strong faith as I do, that's something to me that is very important, something my soon to be ex and me didn't seem to agree on as well as many other things.
This woman I met is 38, not only is she beautiful and very sweet but she's also and get this lol A NUN. Now, for those of you who really don't know too much about it, yes they can leave the convent if they wish to. It's kind of a long process in a way like divorce is. You basically make a vow and an oath to Jesus and getting out of that takes some time. She has a large family and all of her sisters are married, it has been a thing that she has been wanting for a long time to find someone that she can love.
At this stage we are getting to know each other, we email daily as well as chat on skype or facebook. So it is possible and there of course are success stories. I have plenty of time before I would meet her, but also when that time comes after leaving the convent she would have no where to go, well I am sure we will have known each other for a long time and when that time comes I would be happy to have her with me. Getting a divorce first is crucial as I don't want to do it all backwards, that can probably spell disaster.
As far as trying to lie about yourself or try to make up things DON'T. The best way that you can stand out among other guys is to really be yourself, don't try to impress anyone, and don't use pick up lines because that just makes you look like an idiot in my opinion.
I know at this point I never imagined I would be in contact with someone thinking about our future together, but it does happen, maybe not to all but never give up is all I can say. What I can suggest more than anything is be friends first as how I am with her, the longer you are a friend the smoothing things can go.
She is also from the Philippines so it's a long ways away but we seem to make it work, so anything is possible and it's never too far to find someone.
