For allowing me to:
1. Practice awkward, oft-dehumanizing social banter—a very good skill for work.
2. Meet at times very interesting, weird, lovely people—some that have become friends.
3. Know exactly what I don’t want in a relationship.
4. Wake up to what I did want when she slapped me in face (not literally) offline and walked into my real live life. I love you!

Gotta say, online dating has helped me. Wheelchair, leg- I’m not what women picture when they close their eyes and think about the Guy of They Dreamzes.
I’ve met some doozies, but I’ve met a few very nice women I’m lucky to have met. The current Ms I met online and I couldn’t imagine a lovelier, more sweet and beautiful girl.
Good on you for taking the bad with the very good, OP.
