And Yet Another Conversation.....

I have a very strong-willed son. He does not give up until he gets the answer or result that he wants. Which can be a good thing, but it can also try his mother's patience! His focus currently is finding me a new husband. Via internet dating. (insert giggle while rolling eyes!) He hasn't tried to set up a secret profile for me or anything, but it is a topic of conversation at least once a week. He has good intentions. He knows he and his sister will be leaving for college at the same time in about 2-1/2 years and doesn't want me to be alone. But while he also knows that I would like to remarry at some point (in God's timing, which apparently isn't my timing and is the subject of another post at another time!), I'm not too keen on the idea of meeting someone online (or having to pay to do it!). *sigh* It doesn't help that my niece met her current boyfriend (and he looks like he could be "The One") on a dating site and suggested getting me a membership for Christmas! So what's a mom to do? I'm getting tired of repeating my reasons for not being interested in sites like eHarmony or match.com, but he will not give up. You'd think by now, after 16 years, he'd have some idea that his mom is just as strong-willed as he is! haha So I guess if he can keep this up over the next few years, so can I. :-)
