Sometimes you meet really sweet people online that you know won’t work for you, but you wish them well. Such is “Country Boy” from Grove city.

He says his perfect match doesn’t have to be perfect as long as she loves him for who he is and not what he might have. She will always be honest with him even if it hurts sometimes and he will always be honest with her. He would never try to change her or take away things she loves and she will do the same for him.

CB feels that these things “make up the essence of true love and devotion”, and frankly, so do I. CB emailed me, and I emailed him back saying we were not a good match, but I sincerely wished him well, and he sent me this story, “straight from my heart to yours” about his feelings about online dating.

I see myself stranded on an island somewhere out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean barely staying alive. I write notes and seal them in bottles and toss them into the sea. I have to watch out for the sharks they want to eat me alive. Once in a long while I see a bottle floating back to me. I rush to it with great expectations hoping to end my captivity on this lonely island. I find that it is a small bottle with a few crumbs in it enough so I can survive a few more days. So I write another note, place it in the bottle and toss it back out to sea.

S.O.S. Is there anybody out there?

Is this your experience of Internet dating?
