The Rain Couldn't Dampen Their Spirits
Matt and Phrasie knew their soulmate was out there, they just didn’t know it was each other. But that would change soon enough. In 2009, Matt noticed Phrasie’s profile on our site and liked that it was simple and straight to the point. She had a similar reaction to Matt’s profile. Initially, their conversation was friendly but not romantic. Their discussion touched on a number of topics, but dating and finding love weren’t among them. Still, both felt a bond forming. A date was definitely in order…

One day, Matt left his home in Wisconsin to meet Phrasie in Chicago at around 2 p.m. in the afternoon. “He said, ‘you are so beautiful,’ Phrasie remembers of their first moments together. “And I said, ‘you are too!’ We were comfortable with each other pretty quickly.”
It was a rainy day, but the pair decided to walk around downtown Chicago and see the sights. After Saturday afternoon mass at St. Peter’s, they went to dinner. Then, on another walk, they passed a movie theater playing Slumdog Millionaire and decided to go in. At midnight, Matt and Phrasie finally said good night and put an end to this marathon first date after 10 hours together. It was all very spontaneous, but both had a great time.
Fast forward to September, 12, 2010. Why makes that date important? It was Matt and Phrasie’s wedding day! The couple declares that their future plans are to start a family together. “We make each other happy!” Phrasie declares. These two may not have started out romantic, but they certainly ended up that way.

Goturback says:Posted: 23 Jun 11What a lovely ending......I was skeptical if this site was legit.....I have made contact with a lovely, receptive woman and hope to meet her real soon. I notice a lot of responses mentioning LUCK....well there is no such thing as LUCK, good or bad. This man-made term is merely a filler to justify self. I find it better to state as several did...." I wish you both the best" God Bless your union, etc.....definitely appropriate. I am hopeing for a match made in heaven and wish to best to those seeking the same.

i really like that , coz i hope one day i shall become like them, love is good, but the unfortunate thing in that is, many people don't believe in interracial love, they have bad image, but thank God that they a some who are bring back the good image and its value too. its not a crime to dream, so plz keep on for those who believe in interracial love, also wishing the best for all those who have made it.

nice story.. and good luck to the both of you. On another note...the white women here are expecting an investment banker with a hercules body and they look like....well, i can't say that here. Truly, white women are arrogant. I think they think white skin is all we want and nothing else matters...NOT!!. They want to see a picture of you...when they see you.....oh, you are too far away....they are also liars. White women get a life and you agnostics and atheists, you will never, ever be happy.

Congratulations to you both! I wish I had your kind of luck, but it must be true love if a gentleman is willing to travel so far to meet you, how romantic is that! I would like to know the secret to getting some of these potential mates to make an effort to budge an inch from their immediate area to look for a partner.

Coaching Testimonial
"My online love inspiration angel"
Submitted by: Patricia, USA, 21
To be honest, in the beginning, I thought it would be a waste of time. But since I've never seen a similar service in any other dating site, I decided to give it a try.
I always "thought" my profile was on point and I did not need any help to correct my page. I always had in my profile if someone is not attracted to my profile, then that's "their" loss.
BOY WAS I WRONG!!
I will never forget my first time using the Coaching Service I was introduced to my personal Dating Coach. Let me put it this way, if it was not for her I would have given up long time ago (even though I'm a new member).
She taught me so many things and gave me good advice, I did not want to stop chatting with her at all.
She opened my eyes to many possibilities when finding love. She is definitely an inspiration and I appreciate a whole lot. She is more than a Dating Coach to me; she is more of a close friend/guide to me. She is definitely my "online love-inspiration angel".
