Online Dating Service

As someone who did join Match.com several years ago, I have first-hand experience of the do's and don'ts that I faced as I looked for someone special in my life. Match.com offered me a convenient, yet discreet way to find someone in my area. Since I am not someone who drinks, going to bars or clubs wasn't something that I did.
I also did not belong to any social organizations, organized religious affiliation, and I wasn't active with charitable organizations. So this precluded me from meeting a wider variety of people, and the chance of finding the right partner that I hoped would find me too.
By joining Match.com dating site, I found that I could screen potential partners, and know that if they were active in sports, outdoors, Nascar, just to name a few, that I would probably not be a good match for them either. So, without hurting anyone's feelings, I could just skip to the next match that Match.com would suggest, and continue my search. This was the way I used Match.com for many, many months as an online dating site. Then one day, someone saw my profile and thought I would be a good match for him. We e-mailed back and forth for days, then I agreed to give him my phone number. That was something I did not do lightly. It took days to decide to give out my number. He was the only one I ever gave my number to.
Perhaps instinct, perhaps the demeanor of those e-mails, but I had a feeling deep inside that said that this man was worth talking to and worth taking a chance on. And I was glad I did. Sometimes we just have to listen to our inner self, even when conventional thinking says that this is probably not a wise move.
For the first week of phone conversation, we clocked at least 60 hours of phone conversation. Questions and answers back and forth were honest, open, blunt, and told each of us a lot about the other. While still in the safety of our own homes, we got to know each other very well. The safety net was the fact that we had not yet met, and if what we didn't like what we heard and found out about each other would have happened, all it had to be was a polite "It was nice talking to you, but I don't think this will work out between us." That was not the case.
Another week went by, and finally we decided to meet. I made sure to tell several people where I was going, a number I could be reached at, and his address. Just in case. After we met, I had a chance to turn around and leave, or to stay and find out more about this man for my dating adventure. I made a phone call to those I told where I was, and let them know that all was well. They called back just to make sure that I was where I said I would be, and that eased their mind.
That happened in February 2004 when I was a single person. I went for one night to meet someone special, and we were together constantly from that first night until January 2008. Those four years spent together, living and loving together were a precious gift that Match.com provided. Without Match.com, I would not have had the opportunity to meet an incredible man. Though we did ultimately separate, I believe the four years together to be successful. This is something I will always remember, cherish and carry close to my heart forever.
