One day while looking on the computer I went to Match.com I got curious so I began looking at the different profiles that showed up. I put in my information for example what type of guy I was looking for, etc. They emailed me a few profiles that fit the categories that I was interested in. So I began looking at them and I came across this guy that seems pretty interesting to me and he was attractive. So I looked at his profile and it said if I was interested I can wink at him. So that is what I did. Five minutes later he emails me, I was like alright. The thing is, is that in order to write back to him I would have to subscribe to the site. I was like damb it to hell!! LOL How am I going to talk to this guy, and if I don't respond he is going to think that I'm not interested. The site mentioned that if I subscribed to them I could have the first 3 days free. So what I did was I subscribed and the next day I cancelled it, just so that I could have gotten a chance to respond back to him. So to make a long story short, we began talking on the phone everyday for 2 weeks. We finally met face to face, to me it was love at first sight. I was completely nervous, I have never met anyone on the internet before. For all I know he might be a psycho or something, but he wasn't. He was a perfect gentleman, polite, respectful. On our first official date after we first met, he cooked for me and we spoke for hours. We have been together for 5 months and we are inlove with each other. I feel like I've known him my whole life, we get along great. We've met each others families, my parents love him. It's funny how things work, for some reason I went to that website at the same time he was there, and we found each other. Things always happen for a reason. I've never been happier. There is one person for each and every one of us, we just got to go out there and find them.

That is such an amazing story!! It gives me hope. I was doing the online dating thing for a year and I said to myself that I had 2 credits left and then i was deleting myself... and I met the most amazing guy. I don't know where things are going to go with him, or if it will turn out as happily as yours has, but your story gives me hope that people can find love on the internet.

thank you and good luck!

Thank you and I hope that things work out for the both of you, too. Believe me it wasn't a place where I thought I'd meet someone. I mean, I see people everyday everywhere I go, I meet knew people. It's like when I met my boyfreind, I didn't actually meet him and that's the funny thing. I hope that in your situation it works out for the best and that you are happy because we all deserve to be happy no matter who we are. Good Luck...
