Joe and I met in a way that I never thought I would meet anyone potential. We met online on American Singles...LOL

I was in a very long and drawn out 7 year relationship. The only good thing that came out of that was my beautiful daughter, Angelica who is now 5 1/2 years old. We broke up in 2002 and I dated after that but no one was really holding my interest and they definetly were'nt a good role model for my little girl. A few friends of mine had tried the online dating thing and finally convinced me to give it a shot. I was so tired of meeting losers at clubs and bars so I said what the hell and signed up to american singles. I went on 2 awful dates and was starting to lose hope on the whole thing. I was looking at my new matches and I saw Joe's picture right on top, so I said to myself "wow, he's hot, I'm gonna writw to him" LOL!! I wrote to him and he never responded! Naturally, I got pissed off and called him every name in the book! The next day I checked my email and I recieved a new "click". I looked and guess who it was, Joe! I took back all the nasty things I said about him (LOL) and looked at his profile again. I noticed there was a code on there and it looked like it was for an email address. I got a pen and paper and wrote it down and then proceeded to email him. All I wrote is "Hey" because I felt dumb...LOL He wrote back the next day and asked for my number. I gave it to him and we played phone tag at first. I listened to his first message and loved his voice. The first time we spoke, we instantly clicked and talked for about 2 hours. We made a date to meet in person after about a week of talking on the phone. I wasn't getting my hopes up because I went on 2 bad internet dates before that. They didnt even look like there pictures! I met him in a public place over in NY so incase he was ugly, I could drive off...LOL (Shallow, I know) He pulls up next to me and it seemed like forever from him to walk from his car to mine! I looked at him and though, "****, he looks good!" and I was very happy. Obviously he felt the same way and here we are 2 years later planning our wedding!

For those of you who don't believe in internet dating, give it a shot. I would have NEVER thought that I'd meet the man of my dreams online!

That's such a cute story! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. I too found the love of my life on the internet. Derek and I met on Yahoo personals. We have both been through a divorce and weren't looking for anything serious...just wanted to get back out in the real world again and have a little fun and socialize with the opposite sex, but our first date was so wonderful and our chemistry was unbeleivable, there was really no stopping us. One year later, we too are planning our wedding. I've never felt this way about anyone in my whole life and yep...I found him on the internet. Or, he found me, he contacted me first and we corresponded for about a week through email before we even spoke. Then about 2 weeks laters, we finally met and he took me to dinner and a concert. It's been wonderful ever since! I too, would recommend the internet as a form of dating, just be careful and don't give out too much personal info at once. It just takes common sense. If you meet a guy in a bar or a night club, he's just as much of a stranger as the guy on the internet.

Anyway, although I was hesitant, I'm so glad I signed up for online dating!
