I took my shot!!! by Danny Murphree

Hello friends! Am I allowed to give my opinion?

Men, there are a lot of ladies on this site that are eager for friendship and more. Take your shot! Don’t sit there and be sad and lonely. Get out if your comfort zone and type a reply or shoot a message.

I’ll tell you my story. Over 2 years ago I saw one of the most beautiful ladies I’d ever seen. She was all that and more. She was out of my league and she had it together. I thought about it for a day or so and read her post to know more about her.

Then without too much fear….. I took my shot!!!! I waited all day eagerly wanting to see her reply something or anything but she never replied. I felt silly because I knew how beautiful she was and frankly I own a mirror so I wasn’t too shocked she didn’t reply. Sure my pride took a little shot but I’d lost my LW of 25 years so I wasn’t much worse off…….

Then the following day the heavens opened and that angel replied to me!!! I felt like a teenager again! I was excited to talk to her every chance we could get….Without getting too lengthy let me say I had the best 2 years a new widower could have ever dreamed of in a distance relationship that I’ll cherish till the day I die.

Distance and grands finally made us decide we would remain great friends but not pursue marriage/relocation... So does it hurt? Well heck yes it does. However, I wouldn’t take anything for all the companionship, love, laughs, trips, FaceTime, companionship, etc... Just having my own person again made me feel almost normal.

If I said it was a great time it wouldn’t do the relationship justice. I healed soo much and will always be thankful God sent that beautiful angel to lift me up and dust me off and put me back on my feet again.

I applaud Tony and everyone that makes this site special. And if the ladies are bold enough to send you a message be kind and considerate because it takes a lot of courage for them. If she or he isn’t your type just be nice and say so. Don’t not respond it’s so hurtful to get left without a reply. I’m not ready for a relationship right now. But when I am you can bet I’ll pray and take a shot when it feels right. Good luck and be blessed, my friends.
