Finally, on 1st of February 2003 we met in Sofia, halfway
distance from Bucharest/ Romania to Salonica/ Greece! We spent a weekend
there (actually half of it, because Stelios finished work late and arrived
late!) and it was great! We finally talked about everything, relationships,
work, just about everything! I discovered that he likes talking even more than
me, that he is kind, full of humor, generous, reliable and most of all, honest!
That weekend was one of the best in my life! (Only because the best ones would
come later!!)
We went back to our countries and because Valentine’s Day was coming, Stelios told me that he would be visiting me in Romania! Nobody can imagine my excitement!!!!!! We were talking on the phone everyday four hours, we were sending e-mails to each other, sms. I must admit that period of time was one of the most expensive in our lives! After his first visit to Romania we started meeting every weekend. It was either Bucharest or Salonica. Finally, after about 1 and a half months since we met the first time, on the way to the airport in Salonica, he asked me if I would consider moving in with him in Macedonia, where he had been relocated with work. Without hesitation I said Yes! And so, after 4 months since we met, on 1st of June 2003, I moved to Macedonia. Until now we both believe that was the best thing we could do to be with each other. That summer we also got engaged. We stayed in Macedonia for about 9 months, until we decided to move to Greece, which we did in the spring of 2004. 29th of July 2004 we got married. Presently we are living in Greece, we made a house, we raised a dog and we love each other like never before. And if I look back now to the moment I made my profile on DATE.COM Meliswanseii & Hawaiidude01 "...We had a wonderful wedding in Honolulu and are now husband and wife. We would like to thank Date.com from the bottom of our heart for making us one. I never thought that a long distance relationship would workout through the internet and yet it did happen, so now I can proudly tell all my friends that Date.com is the best website to meet your life partner. I am very grateful to this wonderful website.." annasattic & davisj0228 " Now we have a beautiful son, a fantastic marriage, and a life filled with happiness. Date.com gave us the ability to meet ." yoryes5260 & natalia_v "...We now are working out all her paper work so she can move to Puerto Rico to be with me. I never believed that someone could get married just by searching a dating site. NOW BELIEVE ME, it can be done! Thanks to a site like yours, I finally found a wonderful woman who met all of my criteria and who makes me feel loved again. Thanks again to all of you at Date.com. Without you I could never have found her." Rich_FF & horsegirl "...On April 24, 2004, we were married in beautiful ceremony and had a wonderful reception following. It was a totally magical day! We are both very happy!! Everyone who asks how we met is always amazed when our response is "on the Internet." For those who are skeptical of Internet dating, as we both were in the beginning, we can honestly say it does work!! Thank you Date.com for bringing us together. It is a great site!!" Marcellina DaggieD "I joined Date.com as a free member in mid august of 2002 never having applied for any type of online dating. This one guy started sending me email via the date.com website. (he was a member because only members have the ability to send email via the website). His Username was DaggieD. Funny name, I thought, so I checked his picture and profile out. He’s kind of cute I thought, but I still was wary of the whole 'internet dating' thing so I didn't join, but I did click a little button that said 'interested'. The next thing I know, he sent another email via the date.com site. Again, it was a brief but charming message, something like, "Hi Marcellina, I hope you are enjoying this beautiful sunny day, tonight I am going to meet some friends for a birthday party at Tavern on the Green. I would love to see more pictures of you. Look forward to reading your email, James" Ok, I thought; now he has a name. Well James never included his email address so that I could email him back - Remember I am still a free member, unlike him, so I can only send interested clicks to his Username. Well this continued for almost 2 1/2 months and he would email me on Date.com about 2 times a week and I would send him an interested click. I thought it was pretty funny that he was not getting that I could not email him because he never sent me his address. He was unique in a crowd of men who called themselves HotMale1971 or SexGod234 or Bond2001 as he named himself something interesting and fun like DaggieD. While other men on the site sent messages that looked like they were copy pasted or very forward and always including a couple of ways to contact them right away, email addresses and phone numbers, DaggieD was a gentleman sending polite and interesting conversation (albeit one-sided). FINALLY on October 15 he sent me his email address!! I was at ease replying to it right away, I felt I knew him. We still have each others emails. I think the first line I wrote him was ' You finally woke up and smelled the coffee <smile>"! and from there we emailed quite a few times a day until I finally called the cell # he gave me and mind you its always a bit nerve wracking to meet people the first time. I dialed the number and a deep male voice answers, yet the voice is very familiar sounding. I ask for James and the voice says, "This is Sly Stallone. James is working out. Want me to get him for you?' The voice was so dead on, it really sounded like him. I didn't know what to say, then the same deep voice (sans Sly Stallone accent) starts talking to me. Turns out DaggieD is a master voice impressionist, singer in a band, guitarist, and actor - and let’s not forget his day job at his law firm. We had such a great time speaking to each other on the phone. We spoke every day and then at night sometimes until 1 or 2 in the morning. Never a lack of conversation, even now one year later! We owe it all to Date.com! As huge as New York is, I don't think we would have ever met if it wasn't for this online dating service... ...I thank date.com everyday that it enabled us to find each other. We give our single friends hope that what we have together can happen for them too." Megaland & Oldreebok "We are proof that there really is such a thing as finding your soul mate. I found mine on Date.com..." Gypsylady13 & dlet60 "On the 22nd of October, I received a show of interest and then an email from Date.com. It would seem that this man in Hawaii had been scanning pictures and was seized (his words) by my photo. In this seized and confused state; somehow he lost my photo (deleted me). 24 hours later, he remembered a portion of my id and searched on the site. The search came up with a number of usernames with that name and as he looked through those; he found me again. He paid his money to join Date.com, and proceeded to send me an email that absolutely captured my attention. And as they say, the rest is history. Almost immediately, it became quite clear that there was a connection on both sides. Somehow, the magic just came pouring through on both of our mindless machines, courtesy of Date.com. ... ...On the 25th of November, I flew to Hawaii, so we could meet face to face and as soon as he placed that beautiful lei around my neck and kissed me ever so gently, we both knew it was the real thing... Two days later, he asked me to marry him and I said yes…" barbie1barnes & terry_trussell "I had been previously married and was in a violent relationship, so when Terry came along via Date.com, I knew he was the man for me. Terry’s previous spouse had passed away and he was raising two children as a single father. I was raising three children. Wow, looking back, I do not know how either of us did it. We have now been married two and half years now and are in the final stages of adopting my grandson. So life continues to be interesting. Thanks for bringing us together." zoeyangel & secondgen "Just an update from our first success story. Wanted to let everyone know that we are still together and celebrating our first year anniversary together. We are getting married in less than a year and are currently building our first home together. Our future started the day we met...Thanks to DATE.COM I knew I was in love when… We took a trip to California, September 2004. We decided to go to California Adventure Theme Park. We rode the roller coaster as our first ride. Then got on the Ferris wheel, where I got VERY sick. I am motion sick and was throwing up bad! We left the park. He ran back to the hotel and got the car, then took care of me for the rest of the day. He never fussed once that he had to pay $100 to get us in and we spent only 30 minutes there. He took such good care of me and I KNEW that day that I was in love with him!" nighthawk01 & pagirl777 "On January 22, 2005, I sent an interest to Pagirl777. Within one week I received an interest in return. I sent an email back prior to sending or seeing a picture. On February 27, 2005, I received a message late that evening. Pagirl777 recalled my screen name from four years prior when we had dated. We broke off due to foolishness and had not heard from each other since. Date.com brought us back together and later that evening we met in person, after talking on the phone for an hour. When we met, it was so emotionally intense - as if we were never apart. We both knew from that moment on that we were destined to be together. Within two weeks, we have begun to plan for our wedding in May of 2006. We have so many specific coincidences we would like to share, but none more interesting than finding our true love through Date.com. It all sounds so hard to believe, but if it was not for the web site, I strongly do not believe that the two of us would have found each other again and/or be where we are today. Our relationship is so strong; it’s as if we never broke up and have been together for the past four years. We wish others using this site as much happiness and true love as we have found." sharon_tate1969 & 1stwarrior "Do you believe in quick love at first e-mail? Well, we started writing on 12/28/03 as "Pen-Pals" and a week later found that we were in love with each other - thanks to IM and video-cams. After writing to each other for a month and a half, she came from Venezuela to visit me in Florida, stayed for two weeks, and we parted as an engaged couple. If the political climate gets smoother, I am supposed to go to Venezuela in May to meet the family and friends, and we are to be married in July. Pretty neat deal, eh?" ncbrandi41 & tigwelder44 "I met a man on Date.com three years ago. We started dating and he seemed like the kind of man I had been searching for for years. He seemed perfect in so many ways. He was so good to me, and I kept thinking he was too good to be true. I didn't believe in the success stories I read about on Date.com. Well, now I’m a believer, we have been happily dating for the last three years, and two days ago he asked me to marry him as he slipped a beautiful engagement ring onto my finger. I said YES! We will have our beautiful church wedding on September 10th, 2005. Thanks, Date.com, we owe our happiness to you. Now I know for a fact, success stories really do happen. I found the man of my dreams on Date.com. Thanks again." PAX1027 & dac238 "I saw Donna's profile and sent her an e-mail. Luckily I put my outside e-mail address because, I didn't know at that time, but, she had cancelled her ad so she couldn't respond back through Date.com if I hadn't put my outside e-mail address in the note. We e-mail twice and we exchanged phone numbers. We spoke for the first time on June 6, 2003 for approximately 3 hours. We met in person the following night and never been apart since. I proposed to her 3 weeks later and she accepted. We will be getting married in Las Vegas on February 14, 2004 (Valentine's Day). What better day to be married than on a love day. If it weren't for Date.com, we would have never met. We both feel we have met our Soul Mate. Thank you DATE.COM! ....Relationships are about two people. Create a mindset that attracts success. Negative thoughts and discouragement leads to failure. Positive thinking attracts success. If you are serious about finding that special someone listen and follow your inner guide. Avoid taking negative characteristics (such as: vindictiveness, discord, contention, dishonesty, pride, hate, faultfinding, envy, gossip, disrespect, lies, unforgiving, impatience, discouragement, selfishness etc) into relationship. Your choice of thoughts and actions will achieve their appropriate results...
