Very cool! Wish I could give this more thumbs-up! Awesome that you had a good experience leading you in new directions. Knowing you, I'm sure you'll keep your wits about you and make the most of the new adventure!
An associate met and married someone via Tinder, so that can happen too...

I'm in. I've heard of Tinder but was wary to try it out.
On the match.com site - I gave up after the first 3 month membership (today) b/c everyone just emailed & no one materialized meeting in person. I saw about 4 guys on that site who I already know in person (& really, am not interested in dating).
I'll try out Tinder - probably this weekend - and report back.
Thanks for the post & I'm so glad to hear your update. You deserve to be excited, you fiery one!

My friends have all made me promise that once I'm free, I'll sign up for Tinder and live blog my first month on there.

Step #1 - get out of existing dysfunctional situation. Tick.
Step #2 - continue process of sorting ones shit out. Tick.
Step #3 - be alert to lifes possibilities. Tick.
Step #4 - explore any possibilities at a pace, and in a manner, that you are comfortable with. Tick.
-
The hard and difficult work involved in Step #1 you have already done @fiery, and that is the step that everything else hangs off.
-
Love the story so far.

I heard the artic circle is nice this time of year. I have to say W. I bet IRL you are hilarious and a hoot to be around. Some of your sayings CRACKS me up!!! Thank you. The best reason to keep me around is if you drop something, I'll pick it up for you. Plus I'm a handy "travel size". |

@fiery - SO excited for you! Congratulations on the end of the ORDEAL of your divorce proceedings. That alone is a huge burden to have lifted from your psyche. No matter that de facto, not much changed in your life except on paper - but the de jure paper is one of the most important realities in another sense. WOOHOOO!!!! Dancing in the streets!
And - you do owe a "report back" on your Tinder man. I have thought of you and this post often as I strike out again and again with Tinder potentials. I don't know why, or there is not ONE reason, but most/all of the potential connections make me go "ew" and/or un-match sooner or later. I have kept one or two who I still chat with but haven't met yet. We'll see what becomes of those.

You women are so courageous. I took one look at Tinder...saw all these men and realized I am no where near ready to date. Thinking and daydreaming about it but not ready to put myself 'out there'...wherever there is to be found.

I'm not navigating Tinder that well. Every time I think I'm striking up a conversation with someone local, they are in the military halfway around the world or some traveling employee moving through the area. Or - when I think I'm beginning an exchange with someone "for dating" it turns out they'd like to hook up NOW, tonight - what time and where? And then when I try to open a conversation that is like that...then they say they have kids and want a long-term relationship (and no - I have already mothered kids who aren't my blood and I'm not looking for more of that).
So far - score is zero on Tinder.
It's okay though. I keep talking to more people and my own focus is shifting a little here and there.
I think I will like an old fashioned meeting of a person - you know, face to face IN PERSON - the best. But the online stuff is okay practice for me. For now. And you never know, one of the men may turn out to be someone who would meet for a meal or live in my area or - well, I won't know unless I try anyway.
