Wow!!!!! That is wonderful, awesome news, Linda!!!!

I'm very glad to hear that I was wrong in my impression of him...and I mean that sincerely!!!! I wish you both all the happiness in the world.

I wish I had good news to report...I've just had another series of OLD disappointments so I'm going to take a 90 day dating hiatus starting June 1. I'm actually looking forward to some time without the pain of heartache, LOL.

That is awesome news, Linda! I'm so glad you checked in. You were on these boards when I first started hanging out here, and I've wondered what was going on with you. Now I know!

I need to hear these good stories about OLD - like Sheri, I'm getting tired of the heartbreak and disappointment but try to keep hoping!

OMG - Congrat's!!!!


That's why I try to always go out with someone at least twice and sometimes three times to make sure.

Congratulations, Linda! We are sure to all wish you the best...no pressure or anything, but you have now become the poster child for OLD success. :) :)

I haven't done OLD for 8-9 months now. Don't think I will bother again anytime soon, but I love to lurk on the board for the reminders as to WHY I no longer do OLD. ;)

Again, congratulations on finding your best friend! Cheers!

Congratulations Linda! That is wonderful news!

I think I started posting about the time you met your soon to be husband, and I do remember your doubts about OLD. But here you are now adding your name to the list of success stories, thanks to OLD.

I haven't posted in several months myself, in part because I've been working on my own success story. I've been in a relationship for 8 mos with a guy I met thru OLD and I couldn't be happier. While we have not started talking marriage per se, things are going great and plans for a future together have been discussed. And like you and Peanut, I wasn't sure about him after our first date but I listened to my gut instinct and decided to go on a second date which led to a third and so on and now here I am in a relationship that fulfills me in ways I had never known before, and I owe it all to OLD. So, like yourself, I too believe OLD can work.

I'm really happy for you Linda and wish the two of you a wonderful life together.

I really like your story...thanks for sharing. This is why I make myself go on second or third date if I'm not wowed by them initially as you never know. Sometimes it takes a while to see someone's playful and fun self because lets face it, OLD is like an interview and people are a bit on guard initially from past experiences.
