| "A report indicates that email relationships can be far more intimate than normal dating. Women are most likely to find a potential lover online, with 72% admitting to having had an online romance, compared to 52% of men. The report also found that 33% of all online relationships led to a date." - The Sunday Times, Innovations, 17-1-1999 |
Commendations
She was not the first woman to respond to my ad, but she
has become from the beginning the right woman to have
responded to my ad. We live 41 miles apart and take this
drive only too happily in order to be together as much as
possible. We are planning to spend eternity together and
would both recommend this service to anyone else in search
of a true love.
I placed an ad 6-7 months ago and thought it
had fallen off when I got a response from a young lady.
She described herself, seemed like the kind of woman
I had been searching for. She knew what I looked like since
I had a picture of myself and my daughter on the ad so we
corresponded by email a couple of times when she decided to
give me her home phone number stating she worked for the
phone company and could have it changed if I turned out to
be some kind of wierdo or something. On top of everything
else she lives less than 10 minutes from me. She joined for one month just
to respond to my ad.

Dating after divorce is difficult - after 22 years of
marriage, it can be terrifying. I am a professional woman
who couldn't stand all the small talk required to get to
know a person. Thus, I (gulp) placed one very succint,
honest ad that didn't cost me anything and waited to see
what would happen.
Boy, did it happen! The responses I received seemed genuine and gave me a chance to practice my communication skills in figuring out what I really wanted in a mate. Then that one response came along that felt like it had real potential. Long story short, I have never met a man with whom I am more compatible. We work in the same field in the same town, and wouldn't have met in our daily routines. We share many of the same experiences, beliefs, and dreams. We have been dating exclusively for 4 months and not a cloud on the horizon. |
