Think online dating is only for the ugly, desperate, or weird? Think again. These midlife celebrities used an online dating site to find love, and many of them did it because they were busy and just couldn't meet the love of their lives any other way. Sound familiar? Maybe you'll find some inspiration in these celebrity online dating stories.
Dancing With the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba met her man Jesse Sloan on the site eHarmony. The 44-year old Inaba emailed Sloan for several months before meeting on a "supervised first date" at the home of a friend. In March last year, Sloan proposed to Inaba while she was guest hosting on Live With Regis and Kelly.
Inaba's approach was smart. Online daters should email each other until they feel comfortable meeting in person. Then, a coffee date or meeting in a central location will help you both get to know one another while still keeping safety in mind.
