HA! Great advice...sounds like you could be the next Anne Landers Bev! :)) The best part is how you are wisely taking care of your marriage. Nice. I think the divorce rate in the U.S. is now, ? 51%? I think. Anyway, nice article! :)) Susan

I loved Ann Landers!! But, I'm not nearly as wise as that lady was. Just the lessons learned by hard experiences. Say, you are so sweet to read my essay. What a kind and generous lady you are, Susan. Blessings, Bev

Thoroughly educating and enjoyable read. I dare say I agree with old fashioned dating. At least we knew someone that knew this someone and really where they lived. I worry about safety, especially for our younger folks.

Comment from ameen786
Bev my friend, superb write with wonderful, sagacious advice; you have a great sense of humor my friend, love the wit/sarcasm in this write. Born and raised in India, I was 21-years old when I came to this great country, saw and settled. But, my marriage was an arranged marriage, my parents fixed my marriage. There are several Indian websites that specializes in match-making by race, religion, language and region and in most cases these marriages ended in separation and or divorce; I am a firm believer in arranged marriages, not that I disapprove of the social networking, but a bit concerned for the same reasons that you so aptly explained. Great essay my friend, I thank you for sharing.

Hello, ameen. Thank you for sharing your personal story with me. Americans cannot fathom such a system of meeting and marrying as you describe, here. But, it's a system that works, for the most part, brilliantly. We just have a crazy fascination for romance. My husband made his way into my heart by being steadfast, honest and loyal. The rest developed over time. The great thing about writing on this site is that I get to hear from great friends like yourself and learn to see outside my box. You are a lovely man and I always feel honored when you read and review my work. Blessings, Bev
Comment from Connie C
Maybe, Bev, you should start an advice column about dating! You know I'm kidding, but you offer some excellent observations, along with a touch of humor here and there, about this age of computer matchmaking and how dating has changed. I love your descriptions of the dates, numbers one through four. And your description of how you went out on the first date with your husband and how that evolved was so sweet. Brought back memories for me of how my hubby and I first dated. Yes, things have certainly changed. I loved your little essay here, and once again here comes another sixer. Connie xoxo

Comment from The Stranger
oh there are some really seedy pick up lines out there and why anybody is taken in by them truly beggars belief, all I can say is that they must have been desperate in the first place

Yes, there are, TS. And it's scary because today's kids are so enamored of the kind of romance they see in movies that they are perfect lambs for the predators. I appreciate your review and insights, my friend. Warm regards, Bev
Comment from ATHWebber
Oh testify sister! I have been with my wife for a very long time, and I have no desire at all to change things. 99% due to even after 17 years together, I still live her madly. 1% the realisation that dating now is an alien landscape.
One of my young friends hearing of some..ummm.. exploits... from an old friend of mine laughing asked if I thought I still had 'game'
I honestly replied that I didn't even know the way to the playing field let alone performing any snaring techniques.
Nice work...

Hello ATH. Thank you for your great review and personal insights here. I especially enjoy your poignant remark about not knowing the playing field. How can we, it's changing at the speed of light?! So appreciate your time and interest. Kind regards, Bev
Comment from God's Writer
Quite comical and all too true. But believe non of what yo see and half of what you hear. I also think it sickening the portrayal that they give. One site I joined had an in depth question form to fill out with the promise of finding you the right one. Well I guess if extreme opposites is what you are looking for. Anyway a great story. I enjoyed reading it.

I say what I feel. I don't gloss things. I do flirt, but keep that away from reviewing and I don't play favorites. You truly have a beautiful mind.

Thank again, Erick.

You are welcome.
Comment from Maureen's Pen
This was brilliant. A serious piece in spots along with some cracking humour that had me in fits of giggles.
Well penned, and it has relevant information it could help to lesson the confusion on dating sites. Stay single..Oops no that's mine.
Great job loved the story and all that you brought to the topic.
Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Rama Rao
A good piece of rant about online dating. Unfortunately for you it has become very popular as people have very little time to look for partners and go for dating.
However, I couldn't understand your peeve about the use of the word like. That's the way some people speak and it doesn't give any indication of what kind of person he/ she is.

Thank you for stopping by, RR. I appreciate your disagreement with me on the issue of using Like too much. I admit it is a personal bias. So, we will agree to disagree, eh? Thank you for your very generous rating, given that some of the write irritated you. Warmest regards, Bev
Comment from Paradox Tremors
I'm one of those who don't believe the "goods" those television commercials try to offer and claim they can deliver. I, myself am always and will be an old-fashioned type of guy. I believe in equal-rights, equal-pay, but been taught (I'm southern by the grace of God) you treat a lady properly at all times no matter what. You give great advice and anyone who doesn't take heed will probably get into trouble real quick on these "blind" dates. Enjoyed this.
