Hi Jasmine, Tom and Al
Thanks so much for your posts. I’ve actually tried online dating sites for nearly a year but somehow online dating doesn’t work for me. So far no one shows interests in me. I’m not an ugly person and I’m being very true about myself online so I don’t really know the reasons. I met my previous boyfriends in person and any boys who like me usually show their interests after we’ve known each other for a while. I guess I’m a lot less attractive online.
I think maybe God is still giving me time to find myself and happiness. Maybe like what Jasmine said, I’m not ready or strong enough to step into another relationship so God decided to put things on hold. Maybe if I rushed myself into a relationship now, it would damage me even more. I really dunno. There’re so many maybes.
Tom, thanks so much for sharing your story. I don’t know about you but I do know that I’ll meet that person eventually. I hope it would be sooner rather than later too but if I have to wait till the timing is right, I’ll wait. It’s hard to see people around you are happily married with kids and that’s why I don’t go to Facebook that often anymore. 🙂
Jasmine. You’re a very wise woman with a warm heart. I think your husband is super lucky to have you in his life. I hope there’ll be more people like you in this world. Your words inspired me a lot. I like the example of waiting for the phone to ring. I’m just gonna put the want aside for a while and go out to meet people which is what I’ve been doing for the last few months.
Al, thanks so much for your post altho it’s a bit difficult for me to understand. 🙂
With love.
