“I live abroad, so it seemed a good idea to try Internet dating,” Erica explains of her motivation to join our site. “I wanted to meet a man I could love!”
Joseph has his own version of the same story. “I wanted to meet a woman I could settle down with and have a family. Internet dating seemed like a way to meet a lot of women without going to bars or clubs. This was my first time trying it…”
In fact, he was only a member for 48 hours when he received a message from Erica. You see, she was about to cancel her membership and, at the last moment, she noticed Joseph’s profile.
“I had tried Internet dating before and wasn’t successful,” she begins. “I almost gave up on it entirely.” Of our site she says, “I was a member off and on for about a year and a half. When I went to cancel my account, I saw Joseph’s picture in the new members area. Drawn to his eyes, I sent him a message and waited for a response. That was how it all started…”
Yes, it’s true. This love story almost never happened simply because Erica was about to cancel her membership. But she spotted Joseph’s profile just in time. Reading what he wrote, she felt a rush of optimism. “I thought he was funny, kind and intelligent,” she says. “I knew he was my type and I wanted to get to know more about him.”
When Joseph took a look at Erica’s profile, he was similarly impressed. “I thought she was cute and funny,” he said. “She wasn’t completely my type, but I was drawn to her and interested to see where things would lead.”
They spent hours on the phone and Skype. “I never wanted to hang up,” Erica says. “He made me laugh!”
Joseph felt the same way. He wanted to take this to the next level and ask her out, but he felt the normal trepidation about her response. “She was so energetic and the conversations were fantastic, so I decided to go for it,” he says. Erica happily agreed and boom—their first date was on the calendar!
When that day came, their physical chemistry was off the scale. To elaborate, Erica says, “I thought he was very cute. All I wanted to do was throw my arms around him.”
Still, the immediate power of their connection was surprising even to them. “We knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together,” Joseph says, still amazed to this day. “I wanted to make her my wife as quickly as possible. I had finally found my soulmate.”
Based on Date No. 1, a second date was a foregone conclusion. “We knew after our first date that we wanted to be together forever,” Erica says.
As their relationship began to grow and flower, the couple discovered more about each other each day. “I appreciate his honesty and gentleness as well as his ability to listen,” Erica says. Joseph was also struck by his lady love’s less-obvious qualities. “I appreciate her sense of humor and the true light she has inside her,” he declares.
The relationship progressed. One warm evening, on a beautiful beach illuminated by the moon and the stars, Joseph got down on one knee. “I can’t stop smiling,” Erica says, remembering the night Joseph proposed. “I am so happy! Life has taken on a whole new meaning and is full of joy.”
“She is my other half,” Joseph says of his fiancée. “I feel complete.”
If you are ever on the verge of quitting your membership, remember this story. “I was about to give up before I met the man of my dreams. Don’t give up,” urges Erica. “It may seem that the right person will never come along. But just when you are about to give up or let fate take its course, a miracle happens and you meet your true love. Trust your heart and your instincts. Everything else will fall into place.”
For the guys especially, Joseph has this to say. “When you meet the right woman, don’t second guess yourself. Go for it and you will be rewarded with a great love in return.”
Awesome! Wonderful story! Happy for the both of you!

awwwh, the cool calm ocean breeze gently whisking across the olfactory senses with a light mist of fresh ocean salt water in the air, natures most natural sweet perfume, sipping cool marguritas, sand between your toes gayly sasheying across the beach, palm trees beckoning to come sit under the cool shade of my shelter. love is in the air, if it were possible, nothing could be better than this one moment in time. the ultimate “sweet” spot. happiness is written all over their faces.

It is wonderful to see a couple like them. I pray for a long and happy life for both!
I had a similar experience now many years ago: The girl I met by Internet just felt right – I couldn’t explain why, I just felt tit. She had a similar experience, she told me afterward: We both knew by intuition that there is a special connection between us: The physical distance between us was several thousand miles, we had never seen each other – and still we both knew this is a start of something big and wonderful! It was leading to engagement and marriage and happiest years of my life. If she could add her own words to this here and now, I am sure she would have said the same. Unfortunately she passed away after a difficult illness – and I miss her so much.
When she learned the graveness of her illness, she insisted, that I must not lock myself in a darkened room like a hermit, but look for a good woman and spouse …. And now I am hoping and praying for another miracle. I know God has somewhere a wonderful and loving lady waiting for me, He did it once, and He can do it again!
