Dear Lauren:

Good to read your update. “Slowly taking back charge of my own life is feeling good”. Feels like a very good thing to me!

Online dating done wisely is an excellent opportunity to meet a man with that “fresh perspective” that you need (title of your thread). It helps to put together a list of objectives to guide you through the experience of online dating, what you are looking for in a man, in order of priorities perhaps, what is most important at the top of the list.
