They forgot to order dinner the date went so well

Posted by Leticia, 24 May 10

In Jennalee’s experience, nothing good had come of meeting people in clubs and bars. For Robert, the mission was to meet someone who was truly ready for a relationship. And so, for both of them it made sense to try out online dating.

“One day, in between classes, I had just a few minutes and so I got on the website and started looking,” says Jennalee. “I noticed Robert’s profile and liked what I saw.”

Not only did Robert live in Jennalee’s area, he had taken the time to take good pictures and write honestly about himself. Jennalee was intrigued, but she didn’t have time to email him right away—she had to get to class.

Your perfect partner could be online right now...

What are you looking for?

When Jennalee logged in later that night...she was impressed to find a message from Robert already waiting for her! They began trading messages frequently. After two weeks and several phone calls, it was time to make a dinner date.

Jennalee arrived first and nervously awaited Robert’s arrival at the restaurant. “When he walked in, I was instantly drawn to his smile,” Jennalee recounts. Robert’s own nervousness evaporated within five minutes of talking to her. They were chatting so comfortably when the waiter arrived that they could hardly manage to concentrate on menus.

“There was never a lull in conversation,” says Jennalee. “We had a lot in common. I didn’t want the night to end!”

Robert walked Jennalee to her car and told her straight out that he wanted to see her again. Three months later, the couple are still dating and say it feels like they’ve known each other much longer than that. “I’ve never had a relationship so wonderful,” Jennalee reports. “He is very trustworthy and dependable, which are two things I think are very important. He makes me feel so special every day.”

While they’re still getting to know each other, Jennalee and Robert are also discussing the future and their common goals. “I am so glad I gave online dating a try and especially glad that I picked your site,” Jennalee exclaims. “It was a wonderful experience and the website was very user-friendly. I would recommend the site to any of my friends who are looking for love.”

    I love the part where he always makes her feel special. I know this guy, he did just that because his face looked like ass, and he had already failed in a relationship. Fathered a child and couldn't hold it together for them. So this dreamy gentleman has issues. Just doesn't Wright bout them.

    Maybe she has everything that he is looking for. Who are you to judge someone on how they look. I hate negative people. Ever take a look in the mirror and if ur judging on looks wonder why ur alone .... You have no right to judge people and Im sure they really don't care what you have to say.

    Congrats to this couple, but that is what I thought this site was supposed to do, bring people together. Why the rest of us are having so much trouble fining a partner? Maybe, we are looking to hard for a diamond? But, I have a question? Is this site an Interracial dating site? Which is fine, I have know problem with that, but I was a bit confused by the name, Afro-romance.

    That is a wonderful ending story. I wish them good luck. I am a lifetime member here, I have never been able to meet the man of my dream. I have met a wonderful gentleman on another paid site, and we are meeting, we love each other so much and we are soon to buy a beautiful home to settle down. Wish all of you good luck.

    Who said their goal is marriage? They're seeking a 'relationship' according to the article.

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!
