Video: It Only Took TWO DAYS to Meet Her Match
Today, Doris is excited to be engaged, but once upon a time she was debating whether or not to pursue a long-distance relationship with Darren, the man she met on our site. “Don’t be afraid to step out on faith,” she tells our readers while drawing on her own experience. “I packed up my life and moved four hours away! It was definitely worth the chance.”
That’s how things ended up, but how did Doris’ story begin? She says she signed up originally because, in her very busy life, there simply “wasn’t enough time to meet through conventional dating.” For his part, Darren declares that he was “tired of meeting the wrong women” and “just curious” to see whatever results online dating might yield.

In the video below, Christelyn Karazin reviews their love story:
Despite telling us that she was “not at all confident” when she began her membership, it took Doris a mere TWO DAYS to meet the man she is now engaged to marry. Explains Doris, “It all started when ‘Coco72’ sent ‘Firefox 43’ a Flirt...” (Those were their screen names). “His sincere honesty and the fact that he was very handsome” sparked her interest, she says.
“I found her to be very sexy!” exclaims Darren. So he wrote back and their dialogue began. This romance was sizzling from the start. “We would talk for hours,” says Darren. “His conversation and sense of humor” convinced Doris they should date. “We met up Memorial Day Weekend,” she tells us, adding that “he looked just like his photo.” Doris also liked that “he immediately wanted to hold my hand as we walked.”
“We went to Six Flags,” Darren reveals. “She looked just like her pics. She was a good kisser, too!”
After parting ways, both thought things went great and they were “100%” sure they’d see each other again. As Doris and Darren got to know each other, neither person learned anything new that they didn’t like. “His profile was pretty much spot on,” says Doris, looking back at it now. “Definitely the part about loving sports! But he’s exactly what I wanted in a man.”
“She is truly a loving mother and a very caring person,” observes an appreciative Darren. “She is a wonderful woman!”
The only problem is that we were four hours away,” Doris notes with a resigned shrug. “Distance was an obstacle,” agrees Darren. But they powered through it.
Doris will never forget when she decided they were meant for each other. “We were returning from a trip meeting his parents for the first time,” she recalls. “And it was then I realized he was the One!”
Darren was on the same page and thinking one step ahead, enough so that this next part came as a surprise… “He took me out on a dinner cruise in Chicago,” continues Doris. “As the fireworks began to go off, I looked up and he went down on one knee and asked me to marry him. Of course I said yes!”
Meeting Doris has had a huge impact on Darren’s life. “It has taught me the value of love, something I took for granted in the past,” he says. Doris tells us, definitively, that their relationship “has made me a better person.”
Here are the words of wisdom the duo offers to all the singles out there. “Be patient,” both say. Doris adds, “If it’s meant to be, it will be. True loves conquers all!”
“Good luck,” Darren advises any guys reading. “She’s out there.”
She just might be four hours away…

I found someone today after been searching for few months. We clicked from the moment we start charting. We men for the first time which is today 18/03/2017 we fell for each other. It's such a shame we didn't meet on this website it was through another site. All I want to say is "don't give up, keep searching and be patient". Good luck with your searching.

Paganinifan says:Posted: 09 Jan 17These two people found each other because they were serious about finding love. More so, the woman was serious. The problem with a majority of women on ALL dating sites is that they get addicted to the ATTENTION they receive from thousands of men. I've met exes through dating sites and I unfortunately met a few women who I was (thinking) I was getting to know but they had so many other guys as options that they didn't bother giving much time to getting to know 1 guy. and I dated (for 4 yrs) a woman who stayed on the sites and kept talking to other men. Now here is something I want to point out in this story. Darren says: “I found her to be very sexy!” Well, Darren, NOW you can admit that because you got the girl. But realistically speaking, if a man ever makes it clear that he messaged someone based on how attractive he finds her, we get accused of only wanting her for her looks. BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WOMEN DO TO US! Women aren't just clicking ANY random profile and wanting to fall in love in that instant. They're clicking on the ones whose main profile pic attracts them. Double standard much, ladies? Seriously, I'm glad they found each other. But I stand by what I have said because of my own experiences (oh and the experiences of my male friends who have also dealt with the nonsense of dating women who keep sneaking back onto these sites on the low). I've attempted to chat with a few women here over the last month. I'd get a nice reply with a 'thank you' and then, of course, as everyone does, they ask "So how are you? Got any New Year resolutions?" And then I reply back and then......NOTHING. I'm glad this site allows us to see if the person read the messages. One woman who seemed very nice and who shares a lot in common with me (if she'd ever get to actually chatting with me to find out) wrote me back once, I messaged her back, she has been logged in a number of times since then and.....she didn't even OPEN the message replies I've sent. She's online now, in fact. And still my sent message to her is unread....for more than a week. Wow! So when people like Darren and Doris "find" each other - it's because Doris was a serious MATURE woman seeking a real romance and not just the thrill of the attention.Truth.

Nikkybesty says:Posted: 16 Jan 17You are right but its doesn't just implies to the ladies men as well also do same. I have experience with men here who are not sincere or honest as they say. I think they Dont even know what they are looking for. The dating sites is not for games its for matured people who really know what they are looking for.

Men also do date many girls and the most problem is majority at the end of the talking they are so interested in sex which to me is not that good

This is my biggest issue with dating sites...it's like a candy store for some. A person can find someone that's attractive, shares common interest, want the same things in life and love and yet still feel the need to keep hunting as if they are trying to find the "absoultely best" out there. Here's the bottom line: there is always going to be someone that's prettier, sexier or even more interesting than that one person that meets all your expectations. I think people become overwelmed with so many options that it makes them loose focus of the goal: finding real love. The ending result is usually a dead end or they become yoked with someone so superficial that the whole connection is based on physical attraction rather than mental. I wished finding love was less complicated like when we were adolescents..."will you be my boyfriend/girlfriend? Check one [ ] yes or [ ]no". The older we became the more selective we were.

Stacey1t says:Posted: 18 Apr 17True. It goes vice versa, I was turned off because a lot of men are also not serious and just want to kill time on these sites, I am really happy for those who have gotten through but my friend and I have up, deleted our account, just two weeks now another told me about this site and I said let me try, my friend still not interested. For me now thou, I am interested in knowing people as Doris said, take my time, starting off by being friends and then who knows what can happen from there. We do have the similiar problem dear. Good luck

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!
