Finding a mate while living in Utah as a 40- something woman can
be daunting. Bars are not the easiest way to meet someone in this
state. My three teenage children were my main focus and I had a
full-time job. After being divorced for four years, I was ready to
find another companion. With support from a younger family
member, I was encouraged to check out online dating. I was assured
it was a safe and modern way to meet people. So, I rolled up my
sleeves and spent hours working on my personality profile for eHarmony. I hit the send button and waited. Days went by,
nothing. Finally I realized I had selected a
geographical area of zero! I changed that
and the "matches" started flowing in.
I met many possibilities online and dated
several. One exceptional date turned into
many more and that was Don. He was
intelligent, fun loving, and interestingly,
grew up only 10 miles from my home town. We had similar histories, beliefs and goals. Best of all, our attraction was mutual. |
 We each have three children, and
when they finally met, they
immediately developed friendships
giving our relationship even more
depth. Over time, including trips,
holidays and family visits, we knew
our relationship could work.
Unfortunately, in our third year the
fear of another failed marriage made
Don run and he broke up with me. I
was heartbroken. Four months later
Don came back with an apology and
a ring which I accepted after much
heart to heart discussion. Six
months later we were
the last couple to be allowed to marry in the Supreme Court Chambers within the Utah
State Capitol Building surrounded by our six children, family and close friends. We
sometimes laugh that we should go on an eHarmony commercial! We are now in our
second year and haven't looked back.
