Knowing What It Takes

I (Sheila) met a wonderful caring man that enjoys similiar things

that I do. One of the most important things is

that he is Catholic. That is one less thing that can cause stress in a relationship.

We were both in marriages over ten years, so we know what it takes to make

a relationship work. We both want to take care of each other and make the other

one as happy as possible.

We e-mailed each other for three weeks before we met, because his mother was in the

hospital very ill. I would check in a couple times a day to see how she was

doing and that she was in my prayers. We had more of a friendship at first when

we chatted than anything else.


We live a little more than a hour away from each other but things seem to be

working out just fine. We plan on taking turns with the traveling.


The biggest piece of advice to anyone dating these days no matter if it's on

the Internet, or meeting somewhere else, is to keep an open mind. Just when you

think you're ready to give up with the whole dating thing, that's when it will

happen. You don't need to look for it--there's a bigger plan out

there, so just go with it. Thank You!
