Colleen had been married for 20 years and had thought she had it all until her teenage daughter left home for college. All of a sudden she had too much time on her hands and began feeling neglected and lonely. She was a spirited woman in her 40’s and had always had a strong libido. She decided to dive into the online dating scene hoping to find what she was missing.
At first Colleen was just looking for someone to talk to, but it quickly became clear that she was in search of something more. She could sense a familiar excitement stirring deep within her as she flirted with the men she met in the chat rooms. They wanted to take things slowly, but Colleen was not content with that; she wanted more and craved the thrill of a new sexual conquest.
One night, she found herself in bed with a man she had just met online. They had both been drinking and their inhibitions were low. Colleen found herself completely caught up in the moment and didn’t even worry about the consequences of sleeping with a stranger.
The next morning she awoke feeling embarrassed and regretful, but she also couldn’t deny that she had enjoyed herself. She made a decision then and there to not let her loneliness and loneliness lead her astray again.
From then on, she limited herself to meeting people only in person and always insisting on getting to know them first before taking things any further. She may not have been able to keep all her hormones in check, but she was committed to not repeating the same mistake she had made that night.
