I lost my mother 3 years ago to breast cancer. It was a really hard road for me and my dad to cope because she was only 43. But its been exceptionally hard watching my dad try to find someone to share his life with. I don’t want him to be alone and its taking him longer than he thought. He’s tried a few of the online dating sites (match, chemistry) and everyone seems more interested in playing silly dating games instead of trying to connect with someone. He’s in his late 40s and really isn’t the go out and meet people type. Anyone have a good experience with one of the dating sites? Or have any other ideas about where he can meet someone?
In May I will get married to a guy I meet online. I will say all the sites out there are pretty much the same and they same people are on most of the sites. I would try plentyoffish.com it is free and you don’t have to invest any money in it. I was on match, e-harmony, yahoo, and I found mine accuatlly on craigslist on a personals ad. So I think it is a hard no matter what site you are on.
Cancer is a horrible thing to watch anyone suffer through. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.
Tell him to be careful with online dating. I’ve met a few people that needed to be locked in a padded room on dating sites. There are web sites that are strictly for single people that want to go out and do things without the stress of dating. They are a great way to get out and meet people.
