Five Days Were Enough
Richard had heard the success stories of sites like ours, and nothing else was working for him in his quest for true love. Why not give it a try?
Running a search on our site, Richard’s eye was drawn to the first profile that came up. There was something about Suzette that seemed special to him. When he reached out to her, Suzette checked out Richard’s profile. She liked what she saw. “I thought, ‘How handsome!’” Suzette recalls. “I decided to follow through with this one.”

She sent him a note indicating she’d like to talk. Richard replied with his contact info and an invitation to call him anytime. When Suzette phoned, it didn’t feel like their first conversation; it was more like two old friends catching up. “We never hung up the phone,” Suzette says. “It was like an instant connection. We had so much in common!”
When Richard came home from work at night, he would talk to Suzette on the phone until they fell asleep. It was clear that these two needed to meet in person. Richard sent Suzette a plane ticket.
The moment that Suzette stepped off the plane in Columbus, OH, she found a certain gentleman waiting for her with flowers in hand. “My first impression? He was tall and handsome, with a gentle smile,” Suzette says. Richard thought Suzette was as beautiful in person as he’d imagined her on the phone. Over dinner, the couple felt that elusive chemistry only an in-person meeting can put to the test.
After spending five days with Suzette, Richard proposed. She gladly accepted. “I have not left his sight since I came to Columbus,” Suzette says. “We plan to live happily ever after!”
The wedding took place on January 25, 2011. Richard couldn’t be happier with the results of his decision to date online. “She is everything I could ever dream of, and my best friend,” he says. Suzette can’t believe her good fortune, either. “He’s the man I thought didn't exist,” she marvels. “He is so wonderful! I am blessed.”

iceburger says:Posted: 18 Apr 11Nice story, though, I do not know why we have this one sentence. "Richard sent Suzette a plane ticket." Surely, must that be included?

Darlinu says:Posted: 19 Jun 11Iceburger, I think it fits the story. He wanted to see her, badly. He sent her a ticket to show her he meant it...of course any man who wanted to see his potential mate badly enough, will meet her, by any means necessary. That is how guys are, always wanting to please and take care of their woman. Having said that, if this makes you feel pressured to do the same, don't let it. Everyone's circumstances are different and we must do the prudent thing for us, when necessary. It would be a shame for a guy with no means, to mortgage his home, for a chance meeting with anyone. So, enjoy the story and let this one sentence go...to him it was important, but it is not a litmus for love. Peace!

Big Hoss, please pick up a Bible and soon! Different races??? Where did all people come from? How many sons did Noah have? You have the right to your own opinion, but I would suggest fighting the real enemy (immorality).

Michael says:Posted: 04 Apr 11Ask the same question 5 years from now and see what the answer is. I fell victim to the infamous "love at first sight," when I met the young black girl who would eventually become my wife. Even so, we didn't get married for another 6 years. But, after 24 years of marriage and two children, we were divorced. Still, I don't regret a moment of our 30 years together, and we have maintained a friendly relationship.

Too bad your marriage did not last "until ye part"...Hopefully the kids & 24 years left you with well. Now, the encore!

The world is totally being constructed where people don't get married young and they carry all this baggage and after they have sex with 100 people they can't find a guy stupid enough to take them, so a different race talks decent to them and they say screw it I'm going to do this, because things are so screwed up. The 200 years everyone is mixed and the Chosen will lead you around a puppy. The different races are different for a reason. Society is in rapid decline. All western countries are being destroyed and each individual person only cares about what feels good to them. When a man decided the girl is only sixteen but it feels good. The guy decides to marry a prostitute, because it feels good. The guy decided to bed down with another race, because it just feels good. Then it's only a matter of time, before the whole thing collapses.

vamtheanomaly says:Posted: 03 Apr 11Sorry, but its foolish to get married that soon. You have NO idea of how the other person acts when they are upset about something, what kind of habits they have etc. Dont get me wrong Im happy you found each other but marirage? Already? Foolish. Feel free to email me anyone that disputes this.

Coaching Testimonial
"The Coaching Service served as an incredible perk and has really enhanced my online dating experience"
Submitted by: Karen, USA, 34
My Dating Coach really took the time to go through my profile thoroughly. First she viewed my pictures and gave me great feedback.
She read through the written portion of my profile, line by line, and gave direct feedback on how to add my personality to it.
My amazing consultant, even asked how my contacts where going and offered a few suggestions to increase my interactions with new men.
I took her advice and made the suggested adjustments.
I have received more contact from men, more views, and have started communicating with more people which was the whole point of joining the site in the first place.
The Coaching Service served as an incredible perk and has really enhanced my online dating experience. Thanks!
