In the Race
Now, here, you see, it takes all the blogging I can do to keep in the same place.
If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that!
You see, I'm in
the Red Queen's Race...
Love and Marriage

My twenty-something son dated and married his lovely high school sweetheart.
My thirty-something daughter didn’t. She dated in high school and dated in college, too. She had a relationship after college. Life was busy, work was hectic. And Mr. Right was nowhere to be found. At least, not in plain sight.
When she told me some of her friends had tried internet dating and she was considering it, I wasn’t happy about it. Too dangerous, I thought....and I still do. But she, just as at least one of her friends that I’m aware of, met her husband during the process.
So, why is it so difficult to meet that “someone special” if you don’t meet them in school or in the workplace?
If you're single would you, or have you used an online dating service?
If you're a parent, would you be worried if one of your children used one?
I'm still not crazy about the fact that my daughter used one, but I'm crazy about my son-in-law. Funny thing is, it ends up that he didn't live too far away from my daughter, and some friends in her work circle new him, and never thought of introducing them to each other. Go figure.
