Life was hard and uncertain after I lost my wife Susan in a caraccident. Fortunately, my son and I survived the crash, but our life was neverthe same. Though I was leading a lonely life, I was more concerned about my sonThomas. Bringing him up and managing my job schedule simultaneously was adifficult task. Often my mother and neighbours would help us, but times werestill tough.  Anyhow, I had to look for apermanent solution for this problem and solve my loneliness at the same time.All my friends and family members suggested me to remarry. They tried to fixsome dates for me, but nothing worked out. I didn't like any of those girls,none could compare to Susan. Finally, Arnold, a guy from my neighbourhood,suggested that I visit the online dating sites.

Well, I had never thought of the option earlier. I had heard from myfriends that online dating sites were a great place to meet people fromdifferent parts of the world. I never had even considered it before, besides, Iwas too busy with my job and family to think about that. Apparently, many of myfriends have been members of the online dating sites and they seem to be havinga lot of fun. Some of them also have succeeded in settling down with ?the one?.?Could it really work for me?? I asked myself. I had to rid myself of this loneliness, so, finally, I decided to checkout a few online dating sites that my friends used.

It didn't take me long to pick up the concept, I was having fun creatingprofiles and speaking to other women again, it was refreshing. I was hoping tofind someone that was similar to Susan, (personality-wise) it was bitdifficult, but I found there are many interesting profiles. I sent messages tosome of my selected profiles and was excited when all of them replied. Icontinued sending messages to them. After some days, I had managed to befriendthree beautiful girls, they are still my friends. All of them are welleducated, intelligent and successful. Within 2 months of our friendship andonline chats I exchanged phone numbers with each of them and expressed myinterest to meet them individually.

When, I met Liza, the first girl I met on the online dating sites, Ifelt that she is the one I was looking for. She has a beautiful figure andgorgeous look, but what I really respected was her intelligence. It was duringour first meeting that I fell in love. She was affectionate and responsible;she was also excited to meet Thomas.

 We've been seeing each otherregularly for about 9 months now and I'm going to propose to her during ournext date. I had no idea that online dating sites could ever help me findanother person to love.
