Plus Size Dating

by admin

Plus Size Dating: Have I mentioned…I met my husband online? I met him through a dating website. It’s true! I didn’t have time to go out and look for guys to date…besides, where would I look? I don’t drink, I’m not much of a dancer….seriously, I was in my 30′s, divorced, busy, and working overtime, and unless someone was going to flag me down in the grocery store, I had no chance of meeting someone.

I gave Online Dating a Chance – Who Knew I’d Meet my Husband!

I kept looking at online dating sites…I’d sit there and just look a them. Do I want to join? Finally, one night I decided I didn’t want to be alone, and wanted a relationship. It was important to me, so I signed up…I didn’t know whether to take it too seriously at first, but the next thing you know, I starting meeting really nice people!

You know what? They were just like me, busy working, and didn’t know where to meet people either.

Then came the day I met my future husband.

We started talking, and something clicked. After 2 weeks, we finally got together. Man, I was so nervous! What if he didn’t like me in person? What if he knew I was overweight in his brain, since I told him, but what if in his heart when he saw me, he just wasn’t attracted to me? I was so scared…

That was almost 9 years ago! We dated for 3 years (I have kids, and wanted to go slowly), and have been married for 6 years come May of this year.

I met my husband through an online dating service, and I love that! It’s so cool, that two people connected…and you know what? For those first two weeks we talked non-stop, so that when we finally met, there was no awkward silence. We’d spend hours talking every night on the computer, then the phone.
