Hello Chickenanne,
I wish you great luck in finding a companion, friend, lover what ever you are looking for. I'll share where I met my husband.
I was 17 years old, a friend wrote on a dollar bill for a hot date call DeeDee. A wonderful man called to tell me what was done. Weeks later he called back, we went out on a date, 6 months after that we were married.
This May 22 we will be celebrating our 32nd wedding anniversary.
Love has a way of finding us sometimes. The very best of luck to you. Pay no mind to anyone's words of advise. Only listen to your own.
DeeDee
