Can You Find True Love

     As I walked down to the creek behind my house one sunny Sunday last year, I was looking at the half dead trees, and the weeds that some people believe to be  flowers, and smelling the water in the creek (that I swear comes from the sewers), when a bird shit on my head. I thought “oh well” just another ordinary day. As I walked along, I bumped into a friend of mine that I will call Stinky and please don't ask why I call him that, I think it is obvious. As we walked, I related the bird incident, and he replied “take me to the tree that you were walking under, its good luck”. If I had thought for one minute that it was good luck I would have rolled in it, (as you may have figured Stinky really doesn’t have much of a life, but then again, neither do I).

         Our biggest problem is chatting with the opposite sex. Stinky can usually mumble a couple of sentences, then he has to go away. I’m a little more outgoing since I work with a lot of women anyway. I can usually start a conversation with them before I start to sweat and have my confidence escape me, then I have to politely excuse myself.

    Stinky feels that women have unreal expectations when it comes to dating, however, I beg to differ. I really don't believe for a minute the women suggesting that he  have a shower before picking her up is classified as “high standard”. Stinky  may not be the cleanest person I know, but he is  one of the nicest (nicest not brightest). However, he does sometimes on occasion come up with pretty decent idea's that make  more sense then not, but I'm not sure about this one. “We will join a Dating Site” he yelled out. I said before sometimes he comes up with good idea's but this wasn't one of those times. He proceeded to tell me that a friend at work gave him the idea(some friend). “Is this the same friend that leaves deodorant and body wash on your desk?” I asked. “It sure is! He's a very thoughtful person,” (ya right). Stinky said “My friend met a wonderful women on a dating site,” (what women?? the guy he's talking about is gay!) “Why would your gay friend use a dating site to meet women?” I asked, “I think your getting in over your head”. In the end, and after weeks of dodging  Stinky and his crazy idea, I finally decided to give in just to make him happy.

        As I tried to sleep that night, all I could think about was the last date I had, which had not ended under the best of circumstances. I’m sure the woman I'll call “hungry”, hadn’t eaten in a  few days  prior to our date and she must have thought I owned an oil well or something! After she had consumed several appetizers as well as several other side dishes, expensive wine and the main course which was a steak dinner, I checked the balance on my credit card, then to my horror she demanded we order desert! “Desert!?” I quickly reminded her that this was not an all you can eat dinner, she then  jumped up called me things I've never heard before and stormed to the door. Like the desperate person I am, I ran after her and asked if she would like to  get together with me again, at which time she assaulted me with her hand bag (I guess that meant no!). So I went back to the table and sat alone looking at the bill she had racked up and wondered if I would be able to get lots of overtime at work next week to pay for it.

        I started to have a lot of doubts about joining a dating site, but since my best friend was very excited about it (and knowing he would do anything for me), I decided to go through with it. It turned out to be the best move that we had ever made. Stinky and I both joined a Dating Site, and it wasn’t long before we had  responses from some lovely ladies. We were both very nervous and excited to think that we could finally stop using blow up dolls for companions. Stinky asked me “what should I do to get ready?”I said “just get in the shower, turn that water on, use that bar of soap (you can't take it with you) and scrub your worries away”, (as well as the dirt and body odor of course).We double dated that evening to  lean on each other, and we had an amazing time. It was a standard dinner and dancing date, but it just went so well. Stinky took me aside and confided in me, that even though he had just met this women, he knew this was the one. I gave him a brotherly hug, and said “follow your heart,” and he did. She seemed to take to him as well, surprisingly!

         Well I don't call him Stinky anymore, (no one does now that he has learned  basic  hygiene). He is above all, my best friend. Devon is still with his special woman that he met on that dating site. This almost a decade ago now and after dating for some time, they got hitched. They had one child and are expecting another any time now. As for me, it took a little longer, but I finally found the love of my life, and we are expecting our first child soon. Life is terrific and it keeps getting better!

       Its true what they say, there's somebody for everyone. All you have to do is look in the right place and you'll find them. Some times it just takes someone who cares about you to push you in the right direction . Life is too short and precious to spend it alone, wondering what it would be like to have someone to share it with. So if you want to turn around your life then take my advice, and get off your ass and go for it.

    Hey, if Stinky and I can do it, so can you! There are so many dating sites out there it is easy to get lost, or waste you time on insignificant ones, but I'll give you a tip, this is the link that Stinky and I went to to find the best sites to join and in our opinion its the ultimate starting point to find dating sites. So if you are tired of being alone and want someone to share your life and love with well just follow this link, it will be the best move you ever make.
