Well, I was never a big dater. Having gone to an all girls high school was limiting. I met people through other people, but believe it or not..I was very shy at the time, had an awful inferiority complex too.

I was engaged once to a much younger man. I was the only single person left in my group of friends. I wasn't desperate, I did think he was the one, but luckily, found out in time, he wasn't.

It was a bit embarassing to go single to weddings and functions, but I learned to accept it. I had a very busy life, was pretty happy and just figured it wasn't meant to be. I was just 50, when I happened to meet John at the same bus stop on the way to work. After a few head nods, we finally spoke, and he asked me for lunch. I thought "geek" ugh, boring, but decided to give him a second chance. Nobody's perfect and Lord knows, I ain't no prize. So one thing led to another. He gladly visited my dad with me on our dates and later, helped me care for my mom by lifting the wheelchair etc, as my back and neck was getting worse. I learned that looks mean nothing, He has a heart of gold, he's a pain in the butt, we're totally opposite, but he loves me to have fun and go out, no jealousy. He's been my lifesaver throughout my surgeries. He was worth the wait.

You have to learn to look inside a person. Looks are always a plus, but as an ex picky person, sometimes you have to look inside the box. Giving John a 2nd chance really changed my life.

There is somebody out there for you. You will meet your prince charming. Be patient. It'll happen when you least expect it. And guess what? My parents met at a bus stop too!!! Life works in mysterious ways!
