In January ’95, when I posted my first ad, I received several responses, and within a couple of weeks I met a lovely woman who was my lover for about six weeks.
We’re still friends. After the romantic part of that relationship ended, I started re-posting my ad every two weeks or so. During that time, I had email correspondence with dozens of single women, talked on the phone with ten or fifteen, and had actual face-to-face encounters with a total of seven.
In May, a woman named Rosemary answered my ad and, while I still kept looking, something about her kept drawing me closer. After a while I realized I’d found the most beautiful girl in the world, so I went off the market again.
That August, I asked Rosemary to marry me, and she agreed. We were married that December.
My long-term goal was to find a lifelong partner, though I suspected I’d never find one (how lucky I was to be wrong–sorry boys, she’s all mine now!).
But I was happy just to meet and get to know new women, and this method worked very well; between January and July I had dates with about eleven women, four of whom I met through traditional methods (chance encounters, friends, bars) and about seven who I met online.
Meeting single women online was always interesting because you could so quickly find things you had in common. And now, even though I would have been content to stay single, instead I found my bride.
Having met or corresponded with other people who’ve found romance this way, I can also say definitively that I’m not unique.
So yes, it really does happen, and it’s not tough, as long as you’re patient. I’m not rich, I’m not a bodybuilder, and I don’t have Mel Gibson’s looks, yet I’ve met some terrific women this way. And I know I’m not alone, because I’ve heard success stories from all sorts of other folks. Yes, it does work, and much of our website is devoted to helping you figure out how to make it happen for you.
