Hi, my name is Sophia - I'm in my early fourties, divorced and have finally decided to do something about my "singledom" status. I've been divorced for about five years- I have a great family and a wide range of friends. I enjoy socialising and playing sports- tennis, badminton and golf. I have great job in sales where I get to meet an interesting range of people and exercise my grey matter. I'm not unattractive- I'm "normal"- or as normal as anyone can be :-) and get a little bit fed up of people who constantly tell me they cant understand why I'm still single. I guess if I knew the answer to that, I'd be rich! I have friends in the same situation- I'm not sure if its the classic "mid life crisis" that we're experiencing... but I finally realised that the only person that can change my situation is me! Online dating was something that I always thought was for those people who were desperate or shy - it used to have a stigma attached to it.. and I always held back. I finally realised that there were many people in similar situations to me, and one way to meet them was online. So... my journey begins... I promise to be honest... with the ups and downs that happen along the way. Its exciting but scary too.....
