Approaching 41

Next week I will be 41 years of age. Looking back at the first half of my life there are things I would have changed. Am I where I thought I would be? Probably not. I have great kids, my career is good but could be better. I have not been a lucky with my relationships. I was with one of the great loves of my life for almost 20 years. I thought I had found the one who would be the next chapter in my life, but it didn't work out. I have recently reconnected with someone that was the first love of my life, but I don't know how to approach them or even if I want to do that at this point.

I am ok being on my own, but it is really nice to have someone to talk to and just share time with. So far that hasn't happened yet. This weekend I don't have my kids and maybe I will find someone I can have a little fun this weekend, right now there are not any leads. Have had a few messages from the online dating pool, but nothing that would lead to a meeting at this point.

Baiting the hook

I baited the hook on the online dating sites. It's early, but no bites so far. Overall I think I did a good job on the profile. If you are a member of Match check out my profile at windstorm494 and give me your feedback. I know that first impressions are everything. I have been truthful, we will see if that works (LOL).

The journey begins

I am to busy at work and with kids to really get out there and meet people. Right now I have put myself out there on a couple of dating website, e-harmony and match.com. We will see what happens.

Does anyone have any experience with either site? If so what was it?

Where we start

I decided to start this new blog as I move into a phase of my life. As I put myself back out in the dating world I thought I would blog about what is going on in my personal life and chronicle my journey. Not sure how interesting this is going to be, but it is a return to what blogging started out as...an online journal. In the end it will be a record of my life after 40 and maybe I can get some good advice from people passing through on their journey of the web or maybe I can help others.
