Browsing through a Hallmark Store one day, I selected a card that pictured a glowing red sunset illuminating a deserted beach. The inside message of the card read: "Somehow. Someday. Someone." My heart melted. Someone IS out there for all of us, now seemingly closer than ever.
Everyone has their Ideals, or fantasies, of Mr. or Ms. "Right." These ideals have always been created by our imaginations, literally out of "thin air". Now though, through technology, the Internet portals provide access to Chat Rooms, Personals and Matchmaking online. A "virtual" meeting of one's ideal can be made out in "thin air."
Yet who are you that seek to find Mr./Ms. "Right" online? Are you weary of the "bar scene," or being "fixed up" by well-meaning friends? Are you a romantic and believe that your soulmate is just waiting to be discovered? Are you lonely, are you young, are you adventurous, are you trusting and are you more comfortable initially getting to know someone through words, rather than physical appearance? What are your motivations and expectations when seeking Mr./Ms. "Right" online? And do your matches made in cyberspace endure in "actual" reality?
Have you ever wondered about others, like yourself, who are trying to find love by gazing into the pixels of a computer screen? Would you like to know?
Indeed, there IS someone out there for all of us. My best wishes to you who already have found someone and my best wishes, as well, to you whom still know in your heart that "Somehow. Someday. Someone...." "Right" Online!
I know a few couples who started out as penpals. With one exception, all have had surprisingly good relationships. Meeting that special someone online is not altogether that different.
