But I need someone who can also be strong for me.”

“Online dating is a lot like picking out a vacuum cleaner: There is a great selection. They all look like they would be a good fit, they may not be exactly what the manufacturer promises, some may have already been used and returned, there are strings attached, and some come at a high cost.”
