Yeah I hear you. My ex for seven years would go with me on my Disney trips just because of my love for Disney. But like three years into the relationship he came clean and told me that he really didn’t like Disney he just came with me to make me happy. But I don’t want to take someone that doesn’t really want to be there.
Wow I can’t believe your husband never heard of Disney World… That’s crazy talk! But see? It’s a good thing you took him and showed him everything that you thought he would like, or be impressed with. It made him like it that much more. And yes cruises, I love cruises. I would definitely do one week on a cruise for the vacation each year and one week on a Disney vacation as well. I’m glad you got your husband converted. Disney is so important to me. It just comes naturally to me. I’ve been thinking of online dating but I just don’t know. I’m on mousemingle.com but that’s about it. I’m kind of scared of Tinder. And yes my profile already expresses how much I love Disney. But then again I am on a Disney dating site ha ha.
I agree that it's not worth going to Disney with someone who really doesn't want to be there. That's a buzz kill. While I do think it's possible to convert someone, I also believe that you should not feel like you have to stay with someone long-term who does not share your love of Disney. I don't believe they have to share your intensity, but they should be interested.
I could not believe my husband hadn't heard of Disney, either! I'm a L.A. girl, born and raised, and lived in Florida briefly, so I could not even imagine there were places in this country where Disney hadn't reached. Yaak, Montana is one of those places though!
As for online dating, I was EXTREMELY reluctant as well. I'm very social, but had a hard time meeting men who were a good fit for me. I was encouraged to look online by a coworker, and I kind of did it as a gag. I had hilarious horror stories each week. One of my best friends, who I worked with at the time, was initially so sad when I started dating my husband because it meant the end of terrible and entertaining dating stories, haha. I was on Plenty of Fish of all places (I was warned it was a "booty" site, eek!), but it worked out. I feel like having a bigger "pool" of men to choose from helped me, and Plenty of Fish, OK Cupid, etc. are pretty large. I heard Match was great too! I never tried Tinder, but I have friends and coworkers who have, and well, I don't blame you for being scared. Anyway, I have way too much to say on this topic because my baby sister is in the same predicament! She is a Disney fanatic and is adamant about meeting a man with similar tastes, but no luck so far. Online dating hasn't gone that great for her, but she is, admittedly, one of the pickiest women ever. She has yet to go on a single date even after being online for years and having spoken to lots and lots of men.
Have you tried the dating thread on this site? I looked through it once and it was adorable. I'm not sure what the success rate is though.
