The theme in this weeks Heads or Tails is "Gone Fishin" Apparently we are encouraged to be as creative as we want with this one. Well needless to say the first thing that came to my min
d is all the wonderful fishing trips I have gone on with my hubby. We have seen some spectacular sights. This past summer we came across a school of White sided Dolphins...now that was spectacular. We've also had the great privilege of seeing some of the most glorious sunrises and sunsets. We've had our share of experiencing a queasy tummy or two whilst fishing....and of course we have had the opportunity to tell a fish tale or two. But for this heads or tails I want to share how hubby and I met.There is a on line dating site called Kettle of Fish.....well isn't that appropriate. We didn't meet on that site....but we did meet online. On line dating is kinda of like fishing....you put yourself out there....post a photo of yourself, and little bio about you....your likes and dislikes.....I will call that the bate. You drop the line.....you get a few nibbles....I'll call that your first chat with someone on line....you meet for coffee....or maybe even a lunch or dinner date. Unfortunately it doesn't turn out...we call that a lost fish.... But then one time....you put down that line, you wait...and maybe wait some more but then when you least expect it you get nibble....I'll call that you start to chat....you decide to meet.....things go well.....we'll call that the reeling in......you let the slack out...you pull it back in....you work the line...and then finally after much work and maneuvering you got it....you reeled in a keeper.....
Yup...I'd say fish'n is just like dating....and I caught my catch...and he's definitely a keeper!!!

So cool how you did this, Mary Anne! I met my "keeper" online same as you. Aren't we lucky? =)
I've always been leery of doing online dating. A lot of the people I knew who used online dating, mainly used it for "hook ups" and that made me think there was no point looking to online dating for "serious" connection. I am glad to see you prove that that isn't true of everyone.
I love your analogy. I'm glad you found your keeper. I know several couples who've met online and it's turned out great as with you and your hubby. It still seems pretty risky to me. I found my keeper hanging out at my friend's house. And he's the first person to ever take me fishing.
nicwe easy read loved it sandy
What an excellent metaphor and perfect connection to the HoT theme this week. Glad you got your keeper. Met mine before I had a clue what the Internet was, but my baby sis has done the online dating thing, she keeps tossing them back.
I loved this post. I am apprehensive for my daughter who just began using online dating. It sounds like it is an awesome way to meet just the right person! As a mamma, I need to get with the times! LOL
That is a really great story. Glad you caught your keeper. How cool that you saw dolphins!
What a great story. I'm glad you reeled in that keeper.
