My friend is a workaholic. We work in the same organisation and meet each other often. But our conversation never goes beyond work. I feared that she is so obsessed with her work that she shuts out everything else. Lately I discovered that she was dealing with some psychological issue and was engrossed in the work all the time so that she can block out disturbing thoughts.

I wanted her to unwind and relax. So I took a challenge of getting her life back on the track. whenever we meet each other in office and she starts discussing work, I use to cut the string of her topics and use to jump on the work related gossips like our boss new affairs, or Personal Life like I like shopping, or I love chocolates or I have bought myself a new pair of sandals; or any other hot news from newspapers maybe slowdown in US, or Hurricane hitting any country. All I wanted is to divert myself as well as her mind from thoughts that is distracting and disturbing. Soon I got her involved in my talks and gossips; we became good friends and started shopping or hanging out together. And I started realizing a change in her work oriented nature.

Once we went out for a coffee together in the evening, It was then when I discovered that she was upset because she loss her fiancé in a car accident. It took place two month before that is before she joined this organisation. I can feel the emotional trauma she is going through. I thought the only way to take her out of this is to get her one new partner.

I invited her to my house for a weekend stay. We were having fun on weekend then I asked her to join the free dating website. She was hesitating but later agreed just for fun. We both created our profile and the just started looking out for partner for each other. Many people hesitate and assume that dating free can be highly risky. However my personal experience doesn’t say so. A guy showed interest to her, but she was totally uninterested. I told her that she can’t stick to her past all her life. She has to make a move. Atleast she should give him a try. She agreed. They started chatting. They almost chatted for an hour. The guy seems to be quite polite, decent and mature.

Soon they started chatting daily, and became good friends. It was difficult to believe that they have met on the dating free site. There relation went ahead from chat to phone calls, from calls to dating personally. I could even see the change in her attitude at work. Now her talks was restricted to the guy he met on the dating free site.

She seems to be quite happy with the new relation and they have even decided to get married. I was quite happy to hear that finally she will settle down with the partner she deserves. She is a very good human being and I know she is going to be the perfect wife.

I remember the day of her wedding she was so happy and has a reddish charm on her face. She was looking gorgeous in her wedding gown. The pair really complemented each other. Even today she is happily married to him with three kids.

This gives an example that dating free sites are not always bad to try.
