I'm wondering to what extent people have been rewarded for taking chances in terms of who they date, and having that pay off.

I mean -- you dated someone not even close to your "type", or you pushed aside something that would normally be a dealbreaker, etc. If you've done that kind of thing -- how did it turn out? Did you regret it, or were you positively rewarded for your openmindedness?
Anyone who is divorced can surely benefit from dating a variety of people and not think too much about it. I was married for a long time and all I could hear was my ex in my head.

After the first few months of dating whomever on eHarmony, I got to unpack my "baggage" and start making rational decisions about who I specifically wanted to date. I guess I'm saying it's good to practice dating.

I'm taking this chance now. I'll have to let you know............

I cut him loose today. When he's not what I'm looking for..............he's not what I'm looking for. I know, rocket science.
