She already had a boyfriend; she knew there was no future with him. They saw each other when he came into town, maybe once a month, and they spoke on the phone a couple of times a week. He had a daughter, she had a son. He didn't want more children, she did. She had a career job, he was less than satisfied with his. With all of this, she knew they weren't going to make it, but when they were together it was like hanging out with her friend, a friend that was just as sexual aroused by her as she was by him. Chemistry, they definitely had chemistry.
A friend had mentioned finding a boyfriend online. Now that it was becoming more serious, she was even more curious of what could possibly be found online.
That evening she found herself looking at the online dating site. The same site that her friend had spoken of. Why was she feeling so guilty for just looking? Slowly she creates a profile and begins to look through the photos and profiles. She found herself talking to herself out loud. A little "No", "Maybe", even some smiles and laughs. A few hours later, still looking through all of these potential dates she came across one that caught her eye just from the picture and headline. Honestly, there was not anything specific or extra - it was just calling to her.
She clicked on the profile; she found herself smiling the entire time she was reading the profile. This guy seemed mature, straight forward and nice. Is it possible to feel those things simply from someones words? He spoke of the three C's - Caring, Compassion and Compromise. Was it that easy? She must of read it ten more times before she finally had the courage to respond. Was she really doing this? Replying to an online dating profile? She was and it was just the beginning.
