THE COFFE DATE DIARIES: INSIDE INTERNET DATING





This blog is for those nice people who are truly looking for love on the internet. If you are not nice or not truly searching, I have just one thing to say...may you never make it past the first date. Otherwise, my blog is dedicated to the brave souls who have posted profiles online. It is also a completely acceptable form of dating, Mom. And quite safe, Dad.





ALSO DEDICATED TO:



DATING DIVA and DDD (Dating Diva's Darling): Thanks for your patience and good humour. You are wise coaches and wonderful friends.



JO: Thanks for teaching me my first real internet dating lessons; I hope your heart has healed.



MY SONS: For understanding and not once saying "Eeeeeeeew!". Although I bet you thought it. Remember I changed your diapers, so now it's "payback" time!



*watch for a special dedication near the end of this blog*





BACK BY OVERWHELMED RESPONSE:



I have been a single mom and avid corporate ladder climber for 16 years. Last year, with my kids leaving home I felt the need to focus on my personal life and took it online. This is my third bona fide attempt and for the record, I have come a long way from the previous year's internet dating virgin who burst into tears and hid from an avalanche of response on one of the top three internet dating sites.



Now I've returned on a different dating site which reminds me that life is just one big pond. However, I am a seasoned cyber siren, determined to find my "sole" mate.
