Shirley was a very active woman in her job as well as social life. She was so friendly and she has lots of friends, but little did her friends know that she was actually very lonely. She was trying to conceal what she really felt by befriending with so many guys that she was not attracted to. In her mind, they were all the same. She was thinking like that after she has broken up with her boyfriend for more than five years. They had a good relationship, but she was not happy as there was no give and take in their relationship. She was tired of being the only one who gave, so, she walked out.

One day while she was at the office and preparing to go home, one of her colleagues talked to her about a dating service. She was in love with a man she met online and Shirley just could not believe what she heard. Her colleague used to be someone who partied a lot and she met many men along the way, but she chose some guy online. She thought it was so not her, but she did not voice it out instead she was pretending to sound interested and asked her which dating service she meant. When she reached home, her mobile phone rang. It was one of friends asking her out and she said she could not make it. She felt weird because usually she would be all excited to ready for the night and flirt with the guys. She was thinking whether it was the effect of what her colleagues shared with her just now.

Out of the blue, she was checking out the dating service inside her room. She could not believe there were so many people who were actually online and looking for life partner. She was not used to this type of relationships and she did not know why she ended up being a member of the dating service either. She filled up all her personal information and went through the male profiles. While she was pondering, she received a number of alerts in her mailbox. She scanned them one by one and she just responded to the mails like normal, nothing special. So, she spent most of her nights chatting with the men from the other side of the computer, but she has gotten bored because it was like chatting with her normal friends. She expected more than that.

A few weeks after she stopped using the services, she was suddenly curious what has happened to her profile. Most of the men seemed too disappointed in her, but there was one man who said that he would be waiting when she was ready to talk again. Suddenly her heart was warm by the man's message. She responded to him and from there, they became good friends and she was always looking forward to hear from him. They talked about so many things and she was so comfortable with him. She has the feeling that he was the one, like what her colleague felt of her first love. He was a funny and smart guy, and when he suggested that they should meet up like a blind date or something, she felt that was sexy. So, they met, felt the attraction and went out for a few more dates before he told him that he was in love with her and so did she.
