Online Dating Fills Life with Joy

I never knew the meaning of true love until I met my girl friend, Sarah on an online dating site. Before I met Sarah six months back, life was a complete mess for me. I was into a relationship and I really wanted it to work. But my then girlfriend had some other plans. She was into modeling and I had full support for her. However, things took a turn once she got pregnant. She didn’t want the child, and I want didn’t want to abort my baby. It was one of the happiest days in my life when my daughter was born. I had expected that after the birth of our baby, things would change for betterment. But guess I was wrong. When my daughter was only 6months old, her mother abandoned her to pursue her dream in the modeling world. I felt hurt, devastated initially but as I had a toddler to take care of, I didn’t have much time to ponder about what happened with me!

Time went by and soon Jenny (my daughter) became a six year chubby and cute girl. Life was good, for we are there for each other. Jenny doesn’t miss her mum so much coz I have always tried to be there with her whenever she needed me. About me, I was happy as Jenny was there for me. But of late, I had started feeling a bit lonely. I never got the time to be in a relationship earlier and frankly I wasn’t looking for it then with Jenny occupying most of my time. But now with Jenny grown up a bit, I was missing the companionship of someone. Then I got the idea of online dating from a friend. Initially I had no hope of bumping into my soul mate there. All I was looking for is having a casual dating experience.

I joined a leading online dating site. Starting from the first day it was a mind boggling experience for me. I joined the chat room of the online dating site and had a nice time chatting with some very interesting women there. After some days, I got a message from a profile who invited me to join her in the chat room. She was Sarah. When I met her for the first time in the chat room of the online dating site, I couldn’t feel any vibe. She seemed to be a nice, warm and friendly person. But gradually as we continued meeting day after day, I was amazed by her intellectuality. After 3months of chatting at the online dating site, we decided to meet for our first date outside the online dating site.

I was happily surprised when Sarah suggested meeting me at my home over dinner coz she wanted to meet Jenny. I was anticipating how Jenny would react, but to my surprise they got along very well even from the first time they met. Now Sarah frequents our home and treats Jenny just like her daughter. Jenny also often stays at her home at night. Though I feel a bit left out with their being close to each other, I am happy that Jenny has someone who gives her motherly love. Now we are planning to get married soon. Thanks to online dating, today life is looking afresh for me!

Datehookup Was A Great Leveler

Online dating can be a great leveler- I didn’t know this until I joined the singles forum on datehookup.com. About 5 years ago when I was in the university, I was in search of girl who I could hook up with in real. I tried several ways of finding myself a girl who could vibe with me. I went to the bars, on blind dates set up by Jack, my close buddy, and even tried my luck at a few single networks. I sure had a blast with all of them, but I was never able to find that someone who I could feel like spending the rest of my life with. I went on a ton of dates and even hooked up many single girls, it was all real fun being a part of those things. But at the end of it all, I would ask myself this question – what am I heading for?

This was when drew myself away from all those things and started thinking of trying to hook up with someone in a different way – I came with the idea of giving online dating a shot. So, I joined datehookup.com with the faintest of the idea on how to go about it. It was Jack who taught me how to set up my profile and browse along profiles of other members to see if some really appeal to you. After spending some time on it, I started sending messages to the other members and even got some from other members. But, I had little idea on what the next step should be.

One find day, I decided that I should join the singles forum on datehookup.com. I was actually trying to explore the options to bump into someone randomly and then mysteriously fall in love with her. I introduced myself to other members and then headed straight to the ‘Profile Reviews’ section where I could increase my chance of being reviewed by other members quickly. This worked out and I started getting lots of messages in my inbox the next month. It was overwhelming, so I asked Jack what I should do. He suggested that I wait and watch. Since I was focused on having a long-term relationship, I chose not to mess around with many and select only a few to see whom I could be really compatible with.

I started chatting with a few females on datehookup.com. Yana, of the several females, seemed very cordial and charming in her behavior. She had a great profile but she had no photo. We got really close and decided to meet each other offline. We both scheduled to meet at café near our university. My curious to meet her in person was at its height. I also had planned to ask her for a movie together afterwards. When I entered the café and gave her a call to confirm her arrival, she said she was already in, and told me to turn back. But, lo and behold – it was a lady of around 45. She smiled at me and I didn’t know what to do so I smiled back, but deep inside I knew it was the worst day of my life. I came straight back home after the disastrous day, taking the experience with a pinch of salt.

Identify What Women Want To Understand Them Better

It’s tough to understand what women actually want and even tougher to do so when you are a guy. But you can say I am an exception to this general belief. Despite being a guy I understand women much better than my other friends. Maybe, my years of dating experience with some of the very interesting women or my upbringing with three elder sisters and my mum have contributed towards my understanding of women and knowing what women want.

I think women are the most intriguing creation, not to mention the most beautiful. Many of my friends often complain about their girl friends, saying that they are too complex too understand and too hard to satisfy. But I don’t agree to this- I think we guys are more at fault for we never try to know what they want in real and we expect them to adjust to every situation which is what leads to the bitterness in many relationships. Just a few days ago, when I met my friend Mark in the bar, he was looking disturbed. Upon my asking, Mark said he is pissed off with his girlfriend’s attitude. No matter how much he tries to woo her with expensive gifts, she is not letting go of her sulky mood. I asked Mark if he had ever tried to find out the reason of this. He told me they were actually planning to go on a vacation together, but they had to call it off as Mark got busy with his work.

Now I could understand the real problem between Mark and his girlfriend! While his girlfriend wanted to spend some quality time with him, Mark was not able to understand her need and trying in vain to cheer up her mood with expensive gifts. Women want their partners to understand and fulfill their desires without saying a word. I admit that if they had been a little more expressive with their needs and desires, it would have saved the misunderstandings that usually happen with each other. But maybe that’s what women want- to judge their partners. Anyways, when I explained Mark the real cause of the problem, and he realized his mistake. Now he is planning for a getaway with his girlfriend and everything seems to be normal between them.

Well, it’s tough to know what women want and moreover, all the time it’s not possible to understand what’s going on their mind. With due respect to women, I feel, at times, they need to speak their mind, desires and needs. More often than not, it is the lack of communication that creates problems in relationships. So, my appeal to all women- please, speak up for what you want. It’s definitely chivalrous to expect your partners to understand your desires, I mean that’s what women want most of the times,. However, if sometimes, your partner fails to understand what you want, it’s not that bad of just telling him, you can start with giving a hint or two about what you want. I guess all responsible guys out there will take the hints of their women seriously enough to figure out what women want actually, what say?
