Once the decision was made, however, I was pleased. I was no longer in school, disco was dead, I work among family, and I had already decided I was the only single mother in the small town in which I live. So, I turned to the medium that became my lifeline after my divorce - the internet. There are personal ads, chatrooms and dating services for every age, race, sexual orientation and lifestyle. Mr. Right from an endless spectrum of preferences.
Personal ads are generally free of charge, and can be found just about anywhere.
There are also paying services that offer specific matching of characteristics to produce the highest probability of relationship. The advantage of using a paid dating service, I found, is the lack of perverts. Perverts apparently have better things to do with their money. Months later, the na ve romantic is now a cautious skeptic. I've learned more about the frailties of human nature than one woman should be exposed to in a lifetime.
