Being a single mom of my now teenage daughter, having been divorced for more than 20 years, also experimented with online dating more than a decade ago, and now am completely hesitant about going back to those dating apps. Your article gave me a spark to think about it because like you, many of my friends have found love online. Thanks for always being so open and honest in your posts. They always make me feel better and inspire me!

Thanks for sharing a bit of your story, Doris. In response to this post, I received several emails from people who told me about their own stories of finding love online and also good friendships. One of them compared it to the lottery: You need to play to win and you only need to win once. :)
