Indiana Dating Scene

Hi everyone, I am back after a one month hiatus. My father became very ill and I had to fly back and spend time with him and help him because he had no one. I put this whole online dating thing on hold during that time. Unfortunately he passed away last week. He had cancer and things had been up and down for the last 10 years or so but I knew that at any point he could become very ill and pass away shortly after that. I am still dealing with that whole issue but it has also made me think about my own life. My parents got a divorce when I was 20 years old and the time they were together they really weren't very happy. They weren't a good match for one another. Somewhere along the line, someone didn't use good judgment.

It made me realize that I really do want to be happy and to have someone awesome in my life with me. I believe that this girl is out there and now I am determined to find her and to be happy unlike my father was. I do not want to make the same mistakes he made. I already wasted the last 3 years of my life with a woman that wasn't right for me. Wasted time here is the thing I want to avoid. This isn't the first time I have been through something traumatic in my life and every time something like this happens I use it to motivate myself to be happier. Usually it doesn't last but I am hoping that this time it will.

As far as the online dating goes I have sent a message to each of the girls that had messaged me before telling them what happened with my father and also something very pointed about what kind of girl I am looking for etc. We will see if any of them decide to reply. I think I am going to have to start from scratch. I do have some random incoming messages I got from girls over the last 30 days and I messaged them as well but I think I need to look through the site at the new girls that have joined in the last week because there are lots of new girls that join everyday and pick through them and send them each a message like I did the first time around. I am going to do that tonight maybe. I am really tired and worn out from this whole thing and I think I need a few more days of sleep before I will be back to feeling somewhat normal.
