Her Profile was Blunt and his Interest Sharp!

Nikita had grown jaded after her years of single life. “I think, deep down, I had never given up… but I was pretty sick of the dating scene,” she confides.

Raymond was in a similar place on the subject. “I don’t think I had any expectations” for love, he tells us. His motivation for joining our site boiled down to “just wanting to see if something would happen.” At the same time, he never abandoned all hope of having that partner in life we all wish to have.

A military man, Raymond’s deployments kept him out of the country for months at a time. Obviously, this made dating more difficult. He did know that if a woman waited for him, it meant she was serious about their potential as a couple. “If you can connect with someone online, knowing they won’t be home for months… that’s something special,” he says.

Nikita viewed online dating as a way to weed out suitors who were superficially attractive, but not the man for her. Says Nikita, “I was able to see if I connected with someone prior to giving out my phone number.” So she knew the score long before taking the time to meet a guy in person.

At first, Raymond’s Wink seemed like just another random flirtation, sent and received as a shot in the dark. When Nikita looked at the sender’s profile, she was by no means blown away.

“His profile was vague,” she recalls. “I waited to respond, due to him being deployed. I was thinking he just wanted a pen pal.”

While Nikita wasn’t impressed with Raymond’s profile, hers had truly caught his eye and inspired that Wink. “She was really blunt in her profile,” he says. “I think a lot of men probably found it intimidating... I found it hilarious!”

Fortunately, Nikita did write back to Raymond. Eventually. “I just took a leap of faith and said ‘what the heck?’ Once the emails started, they didn’t stop.”

“She chased me!” Raymond laughs.

Their first date was “laid back” and not extravagant—Raymond and Nikita remember “just hanging out and getting to know one another on a different level.” They felt immediately comfortable in the other person’s presence. “We already knew we had very similar senses of humor and a connection via email and phone,” Nikita says. “The date was just getting used to being with this person physically.”

No problem there. Raymond was struck by “how much prettier she was in person than in pictures,” he says. That made him “a little nervous.”

“I was excited that he was so tall,” Nikita says. “I thought he was super handsome!”

After his initial jitters, Raymond remembers there being no stress or awkwardness on that night. “The relationship we built through phone and email made the in-person meeting easy,” he concludes.

From there, it wasn’t long before these two were a full-fledged couple. Their connection came very naturally. “It’s actually pretty amazing the similarities in our goals, ambitions and interests,” notes Nikita. “He couldn’t be more fun!”

Raymond, all smiles, agrees completely. He adds, “I look forward to what the future holds for us.”

So far, all signs point toward happiness.
