I dedicate this book to all my awesome readers. Especially to all the single women, single mums and divorced women, who hope to meet the man of their dreams.
If you believe, he will come.

Most of all, I dedicate the song sung by Julio Iglesias, To all the girls, (change girls to guys) I loved before to all the guys and you know who you are. I am glad you came along, like the song says. Had fate not intertwined our destinies, this book would not have been possible. And to think it all started with a Hi

INTRODUCTION

Year 2010 - the year my life changed forever. I was going through a painful divorce and my male divorced friend suggested I join RSVP. The first thought that popped into my mind was RIP rest in peace. Here I was, spending an hour pouring out my heartache to him about my divorce and what did he say? He asked me - to go rest in peace heartless! Then it hit me. Oh! He meant that I should join the dating site - RSVP

My friend told me that after his divorce, his good friend told him two things. One, that it would take him two years to get over his divorce to which he thought, no way, Im different, Im superman. Second, was that he should try internet dating, which he shrugged off internet dating, he was adamant, was for losers and he didnt need that. However, in hindsight, it really took him two years to get over his divorce and move on with life and he really regrets that he didnt join internet dating earlier. So, he encouraged me to go the internet way, to meet new people he knew it would put a smile back on my face.

Thus began my two year journey on the net, trying different sites and having heaps of fun. It was just the tonic I needed to tide me over the two years of exhaustive court battles with my ex-husband. As my court case unfolded my dear ex surprised me with a shocking expos of his secret life that I never knew existed and which surfaced on a weekly, or sometimes daily, basis. Each revelation was like a dagger twisting deeper into my psyche. The thought of losing the case and having to pay his court fees, plus mine, should I lose the case played havoc with my mind. The legal cost was escalating at the speed of a bullet and worse, the case dragged on and on. What I thought would be months turned into years with no light at the end of the tunnel. The intensity was so consuming that it nearly tipped me over the edge; many times I was so close to ending it all... but then I thought of my son, still so young. I can take anything in life that fate throws at me but the fact that I failed to give my son an unbroken family, really broke me up the only thing I regret about my divorce.

Thank God for internet dating - it kept my sanity intact. The fun and hilarity that came from internet dating took the edge off all the upheavals that hit me my divorce, adjusting to life on my own, being a single mum, juggling a new job, looking after an ailing father only to see him die months later and having to contend with my siblings decision to forcibly remove my mum to a nursing home. In those two years I felt as though all hell had broken loose. Anything that could go wrong went wrong as life came crashing down on me. In my journal I recorded no less than 50 things that went wrong in those two years. It is in this context that my internet dating began.

Would I recommend that anyone sign up for online dating? Yes, most definitely, no matter what age or whatever the circumstance one finds oneself in, give it a go. You will have much to gain and as long as you take some precautions and be sensible, not much to lose.

And like my divorced friend said, if it wasnt for the net there is no way I could have chatted with over two thousand guys in such a short period of time. I got to know guys from all walks of life, from all over the world, interstate and local alike. The world is my oyster men with fame, fortune, brains, sporting prowess, the handsome, the uglies, all shapes and sizes, nationalities and personalities, all flocked to me and said Hi. There were even celebrity look-alikes, Keanu Reeves, James Dean, Ricky Martin, Elvis Presley, young Sylvester Stallone, George Clooney, Timomatic, Owen Wilson, many a 007 and even one I nicknamed James Bond, in turn his nickname for me was Miss Money Penny. I even had a cartoon character, Rin Tin Tin, yes straight out of a comic book with flaming red hair and cool blue eyes and boyish good looks the only thing missing was Snowy, his beloved dog. One year Santa came early and knocked at my door and before I forget, I even had King Henry the 8th pay me a compliment.
