I've had REALLY crappy luck with online dating over the last year or so...but I think that may ahve suddenly changed...

I have a profile on mySpace, just to catch up with old friend and such. Well, on Friday, I was browsing through people from my area, and came upon a profile of a guy that was really cute, so I clicked on it and started reading his blogs. He had posted several fiction stories that he had written, and some real-life stuff, and they were amazing...I just had to write him and let him know that his words touched my heart.

So I did...and he replied...and I replied, asking for more stories. So he sent me a true one, and it had me in tears. It was about his ex-fiancee committing suicide 3 years ago...and I understood every emotion he was talking about, because my ex-fiancee also committed suicide 3 years ago.

We ended up talking on IM for 3 hours. We clicked better than anyone I've ever talked to in my life...not only about our past situations, but EVERYTHING, and he's looking for the exact same thing I am in a relationship.

I'm so excited about this. I can't wait to meet him IRL...I feel like we already have a connection of sorts, because of the distinct emotions associated with our past situations. I know it's WAY early, but something just feels right about this...please don't think I'm crazy!

I just don't know what to think about this one...wish me luck!

Good luck but be careful about setting your expectations too high and going into this thinking "he could be the one".

UPDATE:

We had our first date tonight, and he's just what I expected! We had a great time. We cooked dinner together, and tried to watch a movie, but ended up talking all the way through it, so I couldn't even begin to tell you what it was about. We talked for 7 hours, then he called me 5 minutes after he left my house to talk to me on his way home! He's really smart, and focused, and sweet...not to mention a good kisser! LOL

We made plans to see each other again Wednesday...

This is so exciting! Finally, something good coming out of OLD...

:-D

CJ,
that's great -- isn't it nice to finally meet someone you're excited about?! enjoy it, but do keep realistic expectations and keep your head about you. i certainly hope it works out, but try not to get too invested until you've known him for a while. easier said than done, right? good luck -- and have fun.
