Why do you want to do this?

I turned 33 this year and realized that it has been at least 3 years sinces my last relationship. I have not dated alot in the past but that I'm fine with as I have been very focused with my career. Again I find myself focused on my career but now I need I have decided a relationship is important as well.

What three things will you need to make this happen?

I have joined a online dating site. Right now I am only using the piece of it to see how it feels. So far it has been good. I have had a number of emails which is alot of fun.

Decide if I want to pay the monthly service to have more opprtunities to me people. I have done that before and did not follow through lost good money.

Not sure what my third thing is at this point. I'm open to suggestions

What is the biggest barrier to your achieving this?

Of over thinking all of this. Trying so hard that I mess it all up.

Great Goal and thanks for sharing.  I'm looking forward to reading your progress on this so I hope you'll keep us updated on how things go with your Online Dating site. Are you dating just for the fun of dating and meeting a bunch of new people, or do you have an objective in mind?  For me, I had had a few very long term relationships, but it got to the point where I really wanted the next one that I became emotionally invested in to lead to marriage.  It was amazing.  Once I figured all that out, it was like the universe aligned to bring me to that point.  I've written a story about it if you'd like to read about my journey into the dating world with a new attitude.  Maybe some of the steps I took to lead me to that point will help you to avoid 'messing it all up.'  I'd love to hear your thoughts so I hope you'll pop over to my portfolio/profile page. Wishing you the best of luck and a tonne of fun too.

Hi Andrea,

Honestly I want a life parnter. I will check out your story as soon as I can. Right now I'm having a unique error that keeps me from reading complete stories. They are working on it. I'll keep in contact.

Hi Sheila, So sorry it's taken so long for me to respond here.  For some reason, I didn't receive a notification that you'd posted even though I'm following your goal.  Good to hear that you've got a plan.  I felt the same way exactly.  What I found helpful was to make a list of all the qualities I'd love in my dream partner.  I put it all on paper.  It truly was a 'wish list.' There must have been 150 things on that list, but I narrowed it down to the five most important and then vowed not to get emotionally attached to anyone until I was sure they had all five qualities.  I'm wondering if I post the link here you'll be able to access it.  Let me know if this helps you get to the full story at all.

So far I've made a connection with a guy online. We have had lots of fun texting and emailing. The date we had was cancelled not sure where this will go. I have had fun with this and that is the most important. I think I'm going to make a list of what I want in a relatinship and either sleep on it or burn it.
