Richard had heard the success stories of sites like ours, and nothing else was working for him in his quest for true love.  Why not give it a try?

Running a search on our site, Richard’s eye was drawn to the first profile that came up.  There was something about Suzette that seemed special to him.  When he reached out to her, Suzette checked out Richard’s profile.  She liked what she saw.  “I thought, ‘How handsome!’” Suzette recalls.  “I decided to follow through with this one.”

She sent him a note indicating she’d like to talk.  Richard replied with his contact info and an invitation to call him anytime.  When Suzette phoned, it didn’t feel like their first conversation; it was more like two old friends catching up.  “We never hung up the phone,” Suzette says.  “It was like an instant connection.  We had so much in common!”

When Richard came home from work at night, he would talk to Suzette on the phone until they fell asleep.  It was clear that these two needed to meet in person.  Richard sent Suzette a plane ticket.

The moment that Suzette stepped off the plane in Columbus, OH, she found a certain gentleman waiting for her with flowers in hand.  “My first impression?  He was tall and handsome, with a gentle smile,” Suzette says.  Richard thought Suzette was as beautiful in person as he’d imagined her on the phone.  Over dinner, the couple felt that elusive chemistry only an in-person meeting can put to the test.

After spending five days with Suzette, Richard proposed.  She gladly accepted.  “I have not left his sight since I came to Columbus,” Suzette says.  “We plan to live happily ever after!”

The wedding took place on January 25, 2011.  Richard couldn’t be happier with the results of his decision to date online.  “She is everything I could ever dream of, and my best friend,” he says.  Suzette can’t believe her good fortune, either.  “He’s the man I thought didn’t exist,” she marvels.  “He is so wonderful!  I am blessed.”

    Nice story, though, I do not know why we have this one sentence. “Richard sent Suzette a plane ticket.” Surely, must that be included?

      Iceburger,

      I think it fits the story. He wanted to see her, badly. He sent her a ticket to show her he meant it…of course any man who wanted to see his potential mate badly enough, will meet her, by any means necessary. That is how guys are, always wanting to please and take care of their woman. Having said that, if this makes you feel pressured to do the same, don’t let it. Everyone’s circumstances are different and we must do the prudent thing for us, when necessary. It would be a shame for a guy with no means, to mortgage his home, for a chance meeting with anyone. So, enjoy the story and let this one sentence go…to him it was important, but it is not a litmus for love. Peace!

    Off topic, but an observation I’ve had while reading these blogs and success stories….men very rarely respond or comment on them…is this a warning to us, natural for men, or are we women, hopeless romantics?

      @ jaber………this is blunt, but if you dont find love like this, it could have a lot to do with your attitude. You wouldnt attract the right people. Attitude has a lot to do with success (in any form) if you want someone to think you are worth it, you need to belpieve it yourself . Good luck

      Don’t give up. Take some time to figure out exactly what you want and believe you can have it. There’s a saying that whether you believe you can or whether you believe you cannot, either way you are correct. I’ve been there too, but just take some time and get into some activities you enjoy. We’re much more open when we’re having fun, so that’s usually when love will come.

      Well we don’t know how long they were engaged before they got married. Five days sounds soon for an engagement, but some people know exactly what they want and don’t hesitate when they find it.

    where i come from, we always extra-careful before taking concrete decision about anything that will affect our today and tomorrow. in fact marriage in question is a family issue, not one man affairs. your parents will need to study in details the they historic lives of both the lady and her family to know whose family my son or daughter is going to live with, and not sharp sharp business ventures. marriage is life time affairs and as such ones need to be careful who you choose as live partner, because anyone who make a mistakes, it should not be marriage mistake. also may be that is how God destined for them, but the beginning does not determine the end. i wish them good luck!
