Well, you have another team member who resonates with all the above. And not only do I resonate, I rejoice over the well-written, spag-free words and sentenced. What a wonderful read! Wouldn't change a single word. Grabbed me from the beginning and held me to the end. Which I couldn't get to fast enough! Karen

Hi, Karen. Thank you for this great review! I so appreciate you taking time to read my essay and share your thoughts. Your words have put a big, old grin on my face. Warmest regards, Bev

Bev--you're welcome. Don't you love reading a review about no errors and then finding a typo? "sentences" sigh...Karen

Aw, I do it all the time. Especially when I'm reviewing late in the evening. Sometimes, I cannot believe what I've typed! It's the thought that counts anyway, Karen. You're too kind...Bev

Comment from psalmist
Bev, I thought this was a clever, humorous take on a serious subject. One thing I will say, though, in the beginning stages of any dating relationship, we tend to tell the other person what they want to hear so they will like us. I remember my mom telling me that my dad took her out dancing when they dated because he knew she liked to dance. Once they were married, no more, because he hated dancing, lol. But I have to agree with you, TV ads make it look so easy and romantic, never scary. Linda

Hi, Linda. You make a very good point. There's a certain amount of embellishing in our need to impress. I think, though, when it's done face-to-face, you have the advantage of observing body language. I really appreciate your taking time to read my essay and your generous review. Warmest regards, Bev
Comment from Belinda
Hi, Bev, this is an interesting essay on dating online. This essay is well written with a down to earth outlook and good message. I am an old fashioned type and I would not like my children get dates from these dating mechanism...:) Btw what do you think of the TV reality show The Bachelor or The Bachelorete?

Hi, Belinda. I really appreciate your awesome review. Thank you for sharing your personal insights and philosophy. I have to admit to not watching reality TV. Would make a good essay subject, though. Warmest regards, Bev
Comment from cheyennewy
Hi Bev,
The humor you wove into this essay is so clever. I am scared to death to find a man on a dating site. It would be my luck to hook up with a serial killer! I know a couple of people that found each other online and have lived happily ever after....but I think that is rare, no matter what the dating ads say. I date now and then but have no intention in getting married. You have done an expert job in writing this....blessings, chey

Comment from Cheryl Daphine
Very good post and a load of well meant good advise.I would become 'Monkish',at the thought of going out with a stranger off the internet. I know so many women who meet guys in such a way, then take them into their homes around children. Just heard of another twenty something with two little boys, who has done so recently. Scary. Great post.

Hi, DD. Thank you for your awesome review. It's the situation you describe that most troubles me. My former hairdresser bragged about all the guys she'd invite to her home within a week of meeting them online. It certainly scares me! Thanks again, my friend. Blessings, Bev

Hi writingfundimension
Sound advice in your last paragraph, I hope it gets taken to heart by those who read it. Online dating? Not for this dinosaur, even if I wasn't happily set up at home!

I absolutely love this piece! I am so glad I stumbled across this! I feel the same way about online relationships, may be charming for a while, but you can easily cheat or not judge the other person accurately. And I think the ads and all that stuff, thay glamourise it too much. Enjoyed reading this lovely piece, the old fashioned way is the real and charming way to do it.

Bravo! Good advice indeed no matter whether you are just plain dating or otherwise. Your story is believable and has very good advice for those going to the dating services to find their mate. I have many friends who have met their partners on dating sites.
