They Would Fight for Their Love

Posted by Leticia, 27 Apr

Shane and Sharicka had something in common long before they ever met—both were very busy with work and family.  And both saw online dating as the most efficient way to meet new people while fulfilling their personal responsibilities.

Find your soulmate on AfroRomance

One day, Shane noticed that Sharicka had viewed his profile.  He checked out hers, liked what he saw, and sent her an email.  “We hit it off from Day One,” Shane remembers.  What impressed him the most were her smile and evident intelligence.  She felt the same way about him.  They even shared an interest in mixed martial arts!

The couple’s first date was at a Chinese restaurant.  As their conversation touched on various topics, Shane wasn’t sure what kind of an impression he was making.  “Sharicka thought I was a radical nut,” Shane jokes.  “However, we met for a second date.  Now we are married!”

Having made that lifelong commitment, the couple look forward to a long and happy future together.  They feel they are a perfect match—best friends and soulmates—so they’re very glad they took time out of their busy schedules to look for love online.

    I wish I had found this site years ago. However, I intend to make the most of it now. Congratulations to the couple. To the naysayers: Might I suggest that if you don't have anything positive to say, say nothing. We won't mind.

I also give a word of thanks to the team for the job well done, to give us a chance to meet people without hassle and tassle. With jobs that keep us out of our homes for more than six months or so, where cud one get the chance to meet people, chat, make friend and even something bigger. God bless Shane and Sharicka. Long live the website

    Cute Couple - wish them continued happiness! SMH at all those who are mystified at the title...you really don't get it??? They both shared an interest in martial arts hence the title...just a pun on words so lighten up! And Shane's t-shirt (in the fist thumbnail pic) is pretty darn hilarious!

    We are very happy. It's a little comical, however, to comment on one's wording with errors in your comment. I did not mean to imply that happiness is based solely on the ability to find a spouse or partner. My wish for happiness stems from a purely holistic sense and doesn't need to be taken so literally. I might have been able to say, "I wish you all well" and you still would have over-analyzed that I meant to say that people in search of love are somehow ill or not well. At the end of the day, life is always better with a good partner. I'm sure that we can both agree with that.

      There are haters all over the world and i think that they are to stupid to understand why the title was what it was. Keep smiling, loving and enjoying your man. Best to you both! p.s. does he have a brother?...lol

    You sound happy and satisfied. On a different not - This comment is poorly worded - "I truly hope that each of you find happiness." It does not mean people wanting to find a soulmate have not found happiness.

    Hey there, this is one half of the happy couple. My hubby came across this posting. I never imagined life being THIS complete. Shane is truly God sent. We appreciate the support flowing in. We'll be going on a year of marriage this August. I can't say enough about how lucky I am. We are best friends and lovers...it's a good thing! We are both professional and deeply devoted to one another. @ checkit, the generational gap is nothing compared to the ignorance gap you choose to showcase for all to see. We are happy and content beyond our wildest dreams. I truly hope that each of you find happiness.

      Yup , time . Time to tweet , call , and ruin another life. Happy. Got it good. This guy thinks people are stupid. If I see you I know you see me. One thing though happy scumbag . I don't stalk. She is every thing described, imagine it being ripped from you while you was providing . You know, a real job. Truly, if being shady is what your built on, then the darkest corners Hell will be quite comfy for you and you're morals. Be sure to tell the little one how brilliant you are. The way you aquire love.

    The "Fighting" for the Love has to do with their shared interest of martial arts. It's a play on words.
