It is that time again I think we all need to hear some success stories , and have positive things to say about OLD and get positive vibes going for those that are still pluggin along ..

and I want some updates on the Jodie and AMjay stories... we haven't had updates??

As for me going strong , headed towards 4 mths.. w/ a great guy. Met on OLD. and it has been all good since day one. some uncertainties in the beginning but instead of walking away i have trudged along working through them and only to keep finding all the right answers... We did not go fast, took it slow and even the chemistry was slow.. but so far i think we have a real chance at something long term.. but take one day at a time..

so oooooooooooooooo others? come on tell us some good stuff!!
what are you stories??

I have been going out with my BF for six months. It has been very good...he isn't perfect, but he seems to adore me. I met him on OLD when I was just about to take down all my profiles.

There is someone out there for you guys maybe in OLD, maybe not. Just keep plugging away.

I'm at almost 9 months... We met on Yahoo! Personals IN February. Perfect! Nope, he's not, nor am I... but we have a perfect line of communication, acceptance, friendship, trust, etc... Our daughters all get along well. We have both been very supportive of each other's divorces and dealings with co-parenting with butt-head Ex's(we met before either was final, and mine still isn't and won't be for 3-6 more months). He was the second guy I went out with from OLD, and I am fairly confident that I will spend my future with him.

hey, i'm a lurker. i'm a big fan of OLD! i met my boyfriend online. we've been together since july 04 and talking seriously about marriage now. so yes, it is possible to find a good match!

what worked best for me: enjoy dating for the sake of dating. i told myself i was just doing it to socialize and have some fun. as a result, i stopped being so quick to dismiss people for minor issues... when my future-BF first contacted me, he said he didn't like talking on the phone and just wanted to meet me right away. this struck me as odd. he also listed a profession that i had negative stereotypes about - never saw myself dating someone who does what he does for a living. so, if i had gone with my "gut," i never would have met him. but instead i told myself it would be fun and different and get me out of the house, so why not? the rest is history... :)

Oh my gosh, it is SOOOOOO GREAT to hear all these successes!!! I've heard of people having great success with OLD, but I've had so little success that I thought they were all "urban relationship myths"!! I'm so glad to be proven wrong!!

Thanks to all you guys, I'm hanging in there with a better attitude!!
