I met my SO from craigslist. I was very unhappy with a relationship of 8 years and was ready to make a change. I put an ad up but then was gonna remove it due to some of the responses I was getting. I stated I was not looking for a one night stand and that I wanted to take my time. I finally did start chatting with someone on November 27th. He lives about 20 minutes from me. We then met for dinner on December 26th after chatting about a month online and on the phone. He is 47 and I am 33, but we hit it off so well. Like he has told me I am a lot more mature than my age, which has a lot oto do with life expereinces and he has a younger frame of mind so we mesh really well. From the beginning we finished each others thoughts, I would be thinking of calling him go to grab the hone and it would ring with him on the other end. We decided to ring in New Years together. I will jsut say it was amazing. I went from a man that thr whole act of sex was maybe 10-15 minutes long from foreplay to end. As soon as we were done he was out of the bed in the shower and that was it. Whereas now I have a man that takes his time, we are in no rush and love laying in each others arms. I had a lot of issues and he has been so patient through them. Now we have been seeing each other for 4 months so far and it is going great. It is just a matter of being lucky enough to not find the nut cases out there and being very careful in who you invite into your life. Especially when a child is involved. I ahve a 5 year old girl. I still have not introduced them and he completely understands. Best of luck in whatever you decide to do.
