A couple of weeks ago I was reading Sheria On my Mind Journal she was commenting on Online Dating,and it's good and bad points (there are many for each side) my attached friends are always trying to set me up with an eligible someone!!!!.
I always get very embarassed in these situations but, my girlfriends can't believe I can be happy single (I am) I allowed myself to be talked into Oline Dating quite a simple format which onlt allows you to contact the supposed man of your dreams if you pay a fee, so to set up your account costs nothing to talk costs anything from £9.00 per month to a delux service £24.00, so anyway I duly joined and heard nothing for the first week , I got a reply from a man who wanted more than I was prepared to give (I blocked him) the others wanted photos unfortunatley of size 8 women well I'm never going to be that slim again lol some wanted surrogate mothers for their children some just strange.
Why is it that some men think that because your over forty that you are desparate and your only online because you have exaushted all your other options not so. I have given up online dating for good.
Heres the thing for the time being I enjoy being single I love being in my 40's slighty overweight well a bit more lol I love having my own space and doing what I like however it would be nice to share this with someone but I think I'll let things happen naturally and if he's out there perhaps I'll find him. My girlfriends think I'm giving up to easily, but really I think they have underestimated me, in the job I do I meet lots of men, it's a pity that I don't always see them at ther best lol and drunken invites to dinner really don't appeal lol.
Still got plenty of xmas shopping to do I have'nt even bought cards yet!! I'll redress that today.
Our awards dinner was great fun I did'nt win anything but hey theres always next year, we partied until 5.am Tuesday subsequently was not the best of days I did not fully recover until Thursday lol when the official photos are done I will post them on here.
Thats it for now

Glad you are content with being on your own ~ if there is a Mr Right out there for you ~ you will find him or he will find you ~ Glad you enjoyed the awards Dinner not surprised you didn't recover until Tuesday after partying till 5am LOL ~ Look forward to seeing the pictures ~ Ally
I think that you have to be happy with who you are alone before there is any chance of being happy with someone else. I love your attitude; it's so emotionally healthy. The party sounds like so much fun. I look forward to seeing the pictures!--Sheria

A couple of my friends have done the online dating and one has met the man of her dreams. I think she went on the one that a friend does a write up all about you. He was the first one she met and I am now thinking an engagment ring might be on his list at Christmas! Another has met a couple of strange ones on a different dating service and has had a couple of unsavoury emails from one chap in particular. I look forward to seeing the photos of your awards dinner, I am glad you had a great time. Hugs. Terry x
Dear Yasmyn,
You have a wonderful personality and good looks and it's just that you have a funny job for trying to meet anyone in their right mind!Any chance you could meet them say at meditation or church or taking Audubon hikes or the odd craft or painting class?
hugs,natalie
