Slapstick Makes Them Laugh

Posted by Leticia, 25 Aug

We didn’t get a chance to talk to Veronica, but Timothy was nice enough to answer our questions about their relationship. Going back to the beginning, what was Timothy’s reason for venturing online to find love? “Your site was my first experience,” he reveals. “Getting to know each other in a safe environment” was the big draw, says Timothy. And of course he was interested in dating outside his race.

Posting a profile with the username “TTINdy,” Timothy felt “confident” about his chances of meeting someone whom he could settle down with. Indeed, in just four months he stumbled across the profile of “Verashixx” (Veronica) on our site. She was “very similar” to the type he had in mind when imagining his future life partner.

“I reached out to Veronica by site messaging,” Timothy recalls. What really drew him in was the fact that the same things made them laugh. As he puts it, “Slapstick all the way!” Timothy adds that “her love of humor” sparked his interest as much as anything – even her pix!

As their communication grew more frequent it became clear to Timothy that he was ready to meet this gal in real life. He tells us that “the way she respected me” made him feel comfortable with the decision to purchase a plane ticket and visit Veronica in her home country. In both their minds the relationship had definitely progressed to that point.

And so their first date began at “Jomo Kenyatta Airport in Nairobi, Kenya,” recalls Timothy. The first thought to run through his mind, seeing Veronica standing beside him, was, “This woman is the most beautiful in the world!” He was surprised at “how easy it was to talk to her” and notes that her “gentle personality” didn’t fully translate until meeting in real life.

After this visit both singles were certain they should see each other again. But that’s not all. “Upon arriving in Nairobi I proposed to Veronica the moment we made eye contact,” declares Timothy. So technically his proposal preceded their actual date!

Fortunately, nothing about Timothy’s visit changed anyone’s minds. Of course, he does view “the distance between America and Kenya” as a legitimate obstacle to their being together, at least at first. Nonetheless, asked when he knew this relationship could be special his answer is, “When Veronica told me she was from Kenya... It was just the way she said it.”

Now of course Timothy believes the trouble of travel has all been worth it. His relationship with Veronica has had many positive effects. “I’m a better Christian man [now],” he observes.

Here are Timothy’s words of advice to those of us who don’t have a soulmate in tow just yet. “Take your time and focus on the conversation,” he recommends. “The more questions, the better!”

That’s especially true when communicating with someone from another country. You’ll want to really get to know them before you invest in an in-person meeting! And, as always, be safe.

    Am really really inspired by all these testimonies I have read here...I also wondered myself if I can ever make it the way these couples have...my reason is that all men that chat me up in dating site first of all talk nothing but cyber sex, they tell me that to get to know me better is to have sex first...this really is nauseating tom me...when I tell them the truth that I have never don't cyber sex before and never plan to do so, they tell me they wld have nothing to do again with me and they say their good byes...what I want to know is, why do men come on site with the sole aim of finding a woman for cyber sex? Am actually disappointed that uptil now I cannot find a man on site who is really genuinely seeking for a good woman to have a serious relationship that leads to marriage...this situation has really made me sad and I just feel I can never get any real man on site...

Coaching Testimonial

"The Coaching Service served as an incredible perk and has really enhanced my online dating experience"

Submitted by: Karen, USA, 34

My Dating Coach really took the time to go through my profile thoroughly. First she viewed my pictures and gave me great feedback.

She read through the written portion of my profile, line by line, and gave direct feedback on how to add my personality to it.

My amazing consultant, even asked how my contacts where going and offered a few suggestions to increase my interactions with new men.

I took her advice and made the suggested adjustments.

I have received more contact from men, more views, and have started communicating with more people which was the whole point of joining the site in the first place.

The Coaching Service served as an incredible perk and has really enhanced my online dating experience. Thanks!
