I’d been with my husband Shawn since right after college, so I had no real idea how to meet single men that I didn’t just run into all the time on campus. The problem was that I didn’t know anything about the modern world of dating I faced.
I was widowed at 38 and had plenty of dating years ahead of me.
“Please tell me it’s okay to find someone,” I said to no one in particular. I was visiting my husband’s grave nine months after his death, and I thought about how much life I still had left to live. I was at the cemetery when I decided to set up my first online dating profile.
