I was quite content on my own, because I only wanted someone who could add to my happiness and my son's. John answered my ad after a few weeks. I loved his humor and quick wit. He and I e-mailed each other for a few weeks and then decided to talk on the phone. 

After that, we decided to meet. We met in Chicago and spent a wonderful 24 hours together. I could not believe how we hit it off. It was as if we had known each other for years ! We could read each others thoughts and finish each others sentences. We had a lot in common and seemed to have melted together. I told him that he would know how things went," IF" I took my ad off of the personal website. When he got home, my ad was gone. We have spent every other week-end together for 2 months, and talked numerous hours on the phone and e-mailing each other. He is like no man I have ever met. John is so loving, and kind hearted.

He is handsome and bright....funny and adventurous. He is not selfish or self-centered.I have dated a lot through the years, and no man has ever held a candle to him. I have never been with anyone who understood me so well. I Thank God that I did not settle for second best and waited for the man of my dreams to come along. He is my soul mate and my future. I have never been in love before, I thought I had, but I was wrong. It was never anything like this. My son is 14 and he loves him as well. I have met his son and our boys click like brothers. Our plans? We will be getting married, and I will be moving to Detroit this coming summer after my sons graduates from grade school. 

My son and his son are really getting along and excited about the move. We are all so very happy. My son even made the comment "You are right Mom, he is the one for you" ....My advise to others is...Keep looking and do not give up. There are a lot of people who are sitting behind their computers, and you just never know. I will give another update later.....thank you !

Johnnie's turn...

It was a fluke that I even got onto the site...Saturday in the office...bidding on an on-line auction. I saw the ad for a personal website for singles and clicked curiously. I hadn't even narrowed my a search to the Detroit area...just looking at photos of woman all over the world. After several pages...I saw Krissy's picture. I joined for one month (the shortest duration) just to send Krissy a letter. I remember thinking "She lives in Peoria for the Love of God"...how's this going to work? I could tell from her ad and our early mails that she was special. By the time we put the Chicago week-end together, I knew that we were and would remain at least very good friends. Chicago was incredible....she was so alive...I was in shock riding in the cab to the airport. 
I found the greatest woman in the world. I had a little trepidation about trying to meet someone on-line. The simple truth is that it's a great way to get to meet and know someone in a very short time. I wouldn't expect that everyone's story to be as fabulous as mine. "I found her"...the Woman for me. My advise to you guys....be totally honest with the women you write to...the un-varnished truth is the best.
