Postcards from the Funny Farm

Whenever I talk with young single women I am always amazed when they say they can’t find anyone. For me, it took until I was 32 to find my wife and get married and before that I was always trying to get dates one way or another. I was always proactive and when Sarah came along … boom! It was the time that was meant to happen. Maybe you’re single or know people who are and want to be married. I say, in the advent of online dating, nobody has the excuse of not having any prospects! In my guest blog over at It Might be Love I discuss in an often humorous fashion how I met my wife through Yahoo! Personals. It’s entitled: “Does Anyone have to be single anymore?” And as far as Yahoo! Personals goes, I’m all for passing out advertising pens

Online dating helped me find and marry my soul mate Sarah. I even found her during the “free trial” period so the service was free! I thought I’d write a blurb about Yahoo! Personals because I feature them as an advertiser. It isn’t just demographics that makes me do so (most my core readers are married). On the other hand, I chose them because I believe in their product. Most of all, I feature their ads because it worked for me.

I remember at that time feeling quite lonely in a new town with a new job and Yahoo! Personals connected me with Sarah when I really had no friends or family around to help me meet people. (interested readers can find more details on our &#....)

It works like this: You sign up and upload a small picture of yourself (actually this is optional but it really speeds things up!) Then, you fill out some profile questions and send out a few emails to members that you are interested in. Some, you will find, are indeed certified loony cases. Just keep telling yourself “All you need is ONE.” From there, as you sort through replies you will undoubtedly start to make email friendships. You will find yourself at your parents for thanksgiving sneaking to the computer to see what your online romance has to say.

If it works out perfect like it did for me, you’ll get married within a month! That was 5 years ago and now my wife and I have a wonderful family with laughs and memories that keep on going. If you are single and wanting someone special or if you know someone in your friends and family circle who feels that way, get tuned in to Yahoo! Personals. Trust me, it can work. All you Need is ONE. (and don’t be surprised when the ONE plus ONE turns into one or more beautiful kids! Be ready because it can happen fast!)
