Great news, Greg!

And I completely agree. There are things we can do to improve our odds (e.g. put ourselves out there on dating websites) but, at the end of the day, there's a ton of luck involved.

i agree - dating is all about timing - two people meeting at the right time and both available.

Yep, it's true! You have to be in the right place at the right time. I really don't think the scientific approach to dating works any better than just being lucky. I'm going out with a woman this weekend who seems to be pretty awesome so far. She's smart, attractive, funny, close to my age, and comes from a great family. I did not meet her on eHarmony or Match.com. I "met" her on a free dating site. And she just emailed me out of the blue. I joked with her and said that I thought she was another one of those Russian scams, because her profile seemed too "perfect". Her emails have been very intelligent and witty, and she has been very down to earth to talk to over the phone.

Wow, could this actually be the first date Greg has went on in about six months? Hhhhmmmm......
great news, Greg!
Have fun on the date.
A lot of it is luck, but one thing I noticed is that you decided to go to the other site, and I think that made all the difference, as you were being proactive.
Well done.
