It has been about 16 months since we met. Neither of us had had much luck with men or women till we came across each other on match.com. Last May we got engaged and are due to be married on the 2nd August. Neither of us ever thought we would find anybody with so much in common with us but we did and we very grateful for that.
After being at real low when my marriage ended after 20 years I was sent a match.com link in an e-mail by one of my closest friends. After mulling things over for a few days I decided to sign up myself and see what would happen. So in late April I was pleased to see that this beautiful woman had winked at me, so without hesitation I winked back and we started to chat. During our conversation she asked me out and we agreed to meet for Sunday lunch. I was nervous when we met for the first time but as the date progressed I felt more at ease due to her warm and pleasant nature. After lunch we went for a walk in the woods and she suddenly took my hand. That single gesture touched me deeply because I'm a tactile person and had been starved of any affection for years. On our next date we had a meal in her local pub and I found that I could really talk to this girl and be open with her. From that day onwards our relationship has blossomed and we are now in love and are very much a couple. I realise that I have been lucky to click with someone so early on but some things are meant to be I guess. To think that I could be so lucky to meet such a beautiful loving girl on my first date after only being a member for one week did not even cross my mind when I signed up. But it just shows that internet dating can work and if you're open and honest about yourself you have nothing to fear. I would just like to thank match for making it possible for me to meet the love of my life because she is everything I could ever have hoped for. I would also like to thank my girlfriend for being the most loving affectionate warm and tender person I have ever met in my life.
We first met on November 2007 having spent several months on the shelf! We both joined match not looking for love but rather to meet new and interesting people. However, the first time I saw her profile I knew that there was something special about her. Her profile message was brief, describing herself as a cat loving spinster who lived in a spooky cottage. I on the other hand complained of being left on the shelf past my best before date.
After my marriage broke down 6 years ago, I thought I was destined to be on my own. I dated on and off in those 6 years but never felt any special bond with those guys until I met my partner.
