I decided last year that I wanted to find my soul mate online. I had avoided taking this drastic measure for several years but it seemed like everyone I know, including friends and co-workers, are signing on, creating profiles, and looking for love online.  If they can do it, why can’t I?

In Pursuit of the Right Notes

Life and the notes on a sheet of music are both similarly rhythmic.  Even though the people may come and go, you are eager to at some point, to hear the whole concerto.  I knew that when I could find that special someone, the missing notes in my life would be found.  An enduring addition can happen to your life’s rhythm when you have a soulmate.

New to the world of internet dating, when I began finding my soulmate online I was hesitant to disclose information about myself. I did not know what people would be interested in or how much I should actually reveal. I searched for success stories of other users so as to find an effective solution and plan for these problems. The outcome of the search was hugely inspirational.

I found out that out there, I wasn’t the only apprehensive first-timer. Cynderella and her current husband first met in a chat room. She was from a small town in a rural area and did not have many options when it came to dating. Her friends suggested that like me, she should try internet dating.

Cynderella discovered MJ in a week from then. After he sent her an emoticon expressing his interest in her she went on and took a look at the profile of himself that he’d put up on the dating site. What she saw intrigued her and she responded. This led to a month of back and forth emails and Instant Messages (IM).  Finally, they took it to the next level and met offline.

MJ lived in another state so Cynderella flew to meet him . As soon as she got off the plane she knew she had found her match. ”It was amazing, the old nervous Nelly me was left behind and I had become a self-confident woman who would fly across the country to meet a man. Online dating really empowered me to take control of my life. Fortunately for me I found my soulmate and we both live together happily…and in the same state” says Cynderella.  Though there were no glass slippers, the music was loud and clear.

Surprises That Make You Happy!

I came across Mark’s story when I was continuing the search for my soulmate. When he met H2O, Mark was a college student. His friends and he were surfing the internet when a banner for an online dating site popped up. Just for laughs, they decided to explore the site.

That same night Mark’s friends made a bet with him. If he could get a date within one month on the internet dating site they would wash his athletic gear for a year. Mark decided to take these guys on and give a shot at winning the bet.

Mark created a profile and chatted with several women but most were offended when he explained the bet. “I wanted to be upfront about the bet so it would not be an issue later on,” stated Mark in his success story.

Mark’s despair grew and hopes of success withered as the month end drew nearer. It looked like he was going to be stuck washing not only his gear but that of all his friends for the next whole year to come.

With two days to go Mark stumbled upon a profile that caught his attention. He wrote her an email, she responded immediately and before they knew it they were chatting the whole night. H2O lived in a nearby town and Mark set up a date to meet her at a local movie theater. She was not in any way perturbed by the bet. ”She has an incredible sense of humour” according to Mark. “Barely 6 months into dating each other we were sure we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. Now we are engaged and to be married in 2010.”

Liking the Music

While trying to search for love I was led to great success stories, but it also showed me the problems you can face if you are not careful. Mad4You met a wonderful man who matched all of her criteria. “I could not believe we had so many interests in common.” I was really attracted after a few chats,” says Mad4You. However, there were problems. A person who says they are divorced from a previous spouse may not be telling the whole truth. He may married now.!”

The number of single parents looking for love online surprised me. Single parents have found great matches according to many singles. If you’re finding true love though, just make sure your kids are compatible too!

It was on an internet dating site that Yellowtutu met the man of her dreams. She was a single mother to 3 teenaged kids. Digthis, whom she connected to, had 2 sons from a previous marriage. She corresponded with him for several months before letting her children know she had found someone.

When out on their first date, Yellowtutu’s daughter fell crazily in love with Digthis’s son. The attraction was mutual and they met secretly for over a year without letting their parents know. At the time when Yellowtutu and DIgthis agreed that they weren’t perfect for each other, the children shared their story.

“Despite not working out for him and me, we still believe that the relationship was entirely worth it all. My daughter and his son have 2 fabulous children and have been happily married for over 3years now” says Yellowtutu.  I realized that while I worked to find my soulmate, the online dating adventure could take unexpected turns toward happiness.

…yes life is filled with rhythm.  When you do finally find your soul mate, or I do mine, we must make sure to listen closely.  The music will swell with the fullness of notes.
