How I did it: My boyfriend left me and although it didn't seem like that then, I can now tell it was the best thing he ever done for us.

It ended wit lots of suffering from each sides but also with the clearest moments of what I want and what I don't want in my life, and especially from a man.

I went online again, armed with all the I want this and not that but still open to giving chances, and there he was. In a couple of days we'll celebrate a year of the best relationship of our lives.

Lessons & tips: My advice is this: figure out what you REALLY NEED to be happy, you'll just have to SEARCH for it.

Don't dismiss people before giving them 5 minutes to know them better. Even some really great people are a little shy online.

But also don't put yourself in danger.
