Here’s an idea for those of you who are into online dating. You can actually use the Skype software to meet people and communicate.
I’ve been a Skype user for quite a while now. Though, I’ve never considered it as a medium to meet the man of my dreams just for the reason that I only use it for personal [family & friends] and work reasons.
When I came across this article at the LA Times and read the dating stories that Skype helped bridge, I’m amazed at the possibilities and with such positive results, too!

I reckon it’s quite common for women to admire the first and probably the most important man in their lives. They grew up with an admiration and love for this man they’ve known to be their father, protector and friend. This man, after all, gave them the foundation of who and what a man should be.
I do wonder about it, though.
I’m not one of them, you see. I was never the daddy’s girl. I wasn’t fortunate enough to have established a workable relationship with him. That’s why I can only speculate on how these women have turned out.

I recently participated in Darrens’ group writing project with my post 5 Easy Steps to Snag A Date With Me over at Truth + Travesty.

My friend and I were discussing dating in general [but she highlighted my own lovelife, though] a couple of days back and we found ourselves debating over the matter of importance between immediate gratification and principled dating.
I, for one, cannot sit in judgment over the matter but I do have opinions regarding it. I see the need for both and also their downsides. Secondly, I’m actually facing a dilemma that falls under it, which makes it hard to form an objective opinion.
Here’s the scenario, you went out with guy A who comes a bit short of your ideal, basing …read more

Love knows no bounds nor age limits and here’s proof! 
I visited her in Denison, Texas on my 78th Birthday, and she visited me in Redondo Beach on her 70th Birthday, April 30th. The phone bills, the emails and the “American Greetings” have been clogging the phone lines for several months now. We both have homes that are really nice, and while I have kids and grand kids from my 47 year marriage (widower), she has in-laws from two marriages (widowed twice). We have more visits before we settle down. It has been trying, but fun.  We are working on the legal …read more
