Jeff never had trouble meeting people, given his gregarious nature and his line of work—he’s a snowboard instructor, drummer, and D.J. whose handle is “DJake.” But he’d found he was most compatible with black women and he wasn’t meeting many of them in his area. What’s more, Jeff was very eager to meet his match and knew that hoping for the occasional chance meeting might keep him waiting for a long time.
“I wanted someone to fill my lonely heart, and yesterday,” Jeff says. So he decided to try our site. “Within the first month, I was talking to so many ladies that I quit searching to meet new ones,” he marvels. “Several of them are now some of my best friends. I’ve been teaching one of the girls’ daughters how to do magic tricks!”
Kalama was getting plenty of attention of her own, but she had specific ideas about the kind of man she was looking for. When she found Jeff’s profile, it struck her as a bit long, but fun and genuine. She liked that Jeff knew what he wanted. His profile declared he was “Ready for Love.” Their personalities seemed compatible, and so did their relationship goals—both wanted to start a family, sooner rather than later.
There was just one wrinkle to iron out—Jeff was in Ohio and Kalama was in Africa! Undeterred, they started talking on Skype. This was enough for Jeff to learn to love Kalama’s laugh, her beautiful smile, and her witty sense of humor.
Jeff decided to go to Africa for a visit to see if their connection would work in real life. The pair met in person for the first time when Jeff got off the plane in Zambia. “When I finally met her, she was the same person as on Skype, but so beautiful,” Jeff recalls. “Her embrace felt so much warmer than a keyboard!”
The young couple felt a little anxious at first but their nerves settled down as their conversation took off. Jeff and his sweetheart would dance for hours at a local club, until they were the last people on the dance-floor. Later that night, their first kiss came in the back of the cab on their way home.
Jeff would spend seven weeks with Kalama’s family. The couple toured the area to see Africa’s wildlife in its natural habitat and visit the world-famous Victoria Falls. Along the way, they fell madly in love. By the time Jeff headed home, he was a married man. Yes, it’s true—Jeff and Kalama got hitched!
Sadly, difficulties with Kalama’s immigration are keeping the couple apart for now. But Jeff and Kalama are making plans to reunite in Africa. In fact, they hope to visit impoverished villages in Zambia, offering children entertainment, inspiration and gifts.
“Kalama’s smile, heart and love are greater than I ever could have imagined,” Jeff says. Something tells us that no government can keep this couple apart for long.

This story was from April of 2011?!? I hope you guys have been able to GITTER-DONE!!!
I met my lovely wife here in January of 2012. We flirted, e-mailed, went off-site and burned up the phone lines between Jamaica and New Orleans for months. We married in Jamaica in December of 2012, and are slogging away through the spousal visa process.
Curious how easy it seems to be for folks who want to KILL us to get here….but to be IN LOVE…another story!?!
My sweetie and I are very hopeful that we can get her visa approved in time for her next birthday….on the 4th of July of all things!! So far we got great news last week that her petition packet is COMPLETE and has been forwarded to the US Citizenship and Immigration Service for processing. We still have our background checks, and the ever-important visa interview at the American embassy in Kingston to look forwarde to.
We HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you dig up the cash (yes, I did have to resort to auctioning off some of my body parts!) to HIRE A LAWYER who SPECIALIZES in SPOUSAL & FIANCE
IMMIGRATION matters. You can encounter too many frustrating delays with some form that wasn’t filled out right, or something was missing. That causes your petition to be kicked back with a “REQUEST FOR EVIDENCE” that could delay you for another 4 to 6 MONTHS!!
Kalama & Jeff, y’all look GORGEOUS together!!! I certainly pray that by THIS time, you’ve made significant progress to finally have her at your side!! Go be with you always, my friend!

Wow. Thanks for that story! I just met this gorgeous lady in Singapore and we have skyped and are both smitten. It is good to know that the amount of distance wasn’t a turn off to you both. I am willing to put the screws down and get this to work, and reading this made it reassuring that you both put your love for eachother as the main focus and not the parts that would drive other couples apart. Kudos, and best of luck and love to you both.. And well, I say this in a manly man way, but you two are going to have adorable kids!

Great story! It’s nice to know that a man would go to such great lengths to find the woman of his dreams. To some men, an hour or two drive is “long-distance”. Jeff is the new Knight In Shining Armor: the man who will cross an ocean for his woman. Go ahead, Jeff! Thank you for the example of determination!
