Who Needs Sleep When You Have Love?
“On this day, April 9th 2011, I married my best friend.”
We received these stirring words from Ronald and Jane, who met on our website and fell in love. “We would never have found each other if your site did not exist,” says Jane.
Find your soulmate on AfroRomance
This is their story…
It all started when Jane’s friends at work started pushing her to try online dating. “Sonym, Esther and Florence were always on my case,” remembers Jane. “I had spent many years alone, so they would encourage me…”
Jane’s co-workers thought it was sad that she would rush home after work to watch movies. It was clear to them that Jane had given up on bringing love and romance to her life. But there was a stumbling block for Jane that many singles encounter before they learn more about online dating. “One of my greatest worries was the confidentiality of the site,” Jane says. “To my great surprise, it was very confidential!”
Ronald had also spent many years without a soulmate by his side. One day, he was surfing the Web on his phone when he came across our site. The name rang a bell for Ronald. One of his friends began a successful relationship here. The memory of his friend’s happiness was enough to convince Ronald to sign up.
But, like many of our success stories, it took quite a bit of patience from both parties before their paths crossed. In fact, Jane was on the verge of removing her profile when she received the simple message “I want to talk to you.”
“This caught me by surprise,” Jane admits. “It took me two or three days before I answered. But I kept thinking of how much courage this gentleman had.”
Their connection formed through a flurry of emails, texts and phone calls. Just five days after Jane responded to his message, Ronald closed his account. “He told me he was sure I was the one,’” says Jane.
Their phone calls got longer and longer. “We never tired,” laughs Jane. “Sometimes I would go to work with a crazy headache because I never slept enough. The same thing would happen to Ronald.”
When Ronald flew out to meet his beloved in person for the first time, Jane was on pins and needles until his plane landed. “It was the longest time of my life,” she says. “When I finally saw Ronald walk through the door, I jumped up and down and hugged him for a long time.”
After securing the blessing of Jane’s parents, Ronald married Jane at a beautiful cathedral. “We found our soulmate, sunshine, lover, husband, wife and more than we can ever describe,” Jane says, glowing with happiness. “We shall forever remain grateful to this site!”
Asked what she might say to singles still seeking that magical bond with another person, Jane had these words to share.
“To all our friends out there—this site works. Be patient and be real. Start your relationship in a very honest and transparent way and when you meet the right person, you shall definitely know.”
Good advice, indeed.

xxsorbetxx says:Posted: 23 Oct 13So many wonderful success stories on here, really refreshing to hear of and get to read their come-abouts. This one right here is certainly one of my favorites, have only been on here for about a week or perhaps less but i am thoroughly enjoying the experience despite no success so far but there's plenty time and hope, plus i am thinking positively. I like this site more than most as there is a wider scope of variety i have noticed and people are much more responsive and ofcourse less trashy in their approach which i got on few on other sites smh. I wish these 2 all the best and prosperity both as individuals and a couple.

Trudy2 says:Posted: 01 Aug 14Strange, I had replied before but looks like the organisation had deleted what I wrote so I will write it again. I think you should get a face or close your account and save your money; have you ever seen success stories with people without faces? If you do not have a profile photo people tend not to read the profile. tRUDYx

iceburger says:Posted: 15 Oct 11Whereas I wish these two all the best, I must honestly say that its just a normal story about two people that marry. But by Jane saying she was always pushed by her friends, it beats the whole purpose of dating. Where did they want her to rush after work? Where were they staying in the office after work or??? When she says she was on verge of removing her profile when she got a simple message, that should not really be the case. Many ladies here get many messages, as they would agree with me, and I feel she had gotten so many messages from other people...just as she probably could have written. True the site works...I would agree with her on that part. Actually, its the best dating site!

I can understand where her friends are coming from, I have friends in the office who just work and go home, work and go home and it's an effort for them to go out for a drink after work, some being out of relationships for a long time might find it scary to entertain the thought of being in a relationship and perhaps feel undesirable . I sense that she was not really getting any messages. Yes, the site works, every site does, its just the jigsaw piece that needs to fit.

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!
