Hi, fgg! As someone mentioned earlier, the TE board has also been dating vicariously through me! I've done online dating a couple of times. I met a nice guy who I dated for 7 months last year. We broke up for various normal reasons, and I started again last winter. Met a number of guys, really liked three of them, dated one for about a month. Got my heart bruised, not broken, but I never felt unsafe. Just sad. It is hard to open your heart, but no love gets in if you don't!

Right now I'm taking a break from it, training and racing and living my life. I've never tried Craig's list--I may check it out. I'm also going to check out Fitness Singles. My job and other committments make it hard to meet some one through a running/cycling/triathlon club.

Good luck, and be sure to keep us posted! L.
