Nicole&Robert
I am very happy and content with my husband Robert, however, it did not start out as a very happy story for me; but through my perseverance, I have a picket fence story to share. The online dating scene seemed very disappointing for me when I first started. I met one guy who I thought was into me, as I was into him. We went on about 5 dates, enjoyed the time together; but the Saturday I was supposed to go bowling with him, he texted and told me it would not work out. That evening after I got that text message from him, I cried myself to sleep. I stayed in bed the whole Sunday wondering what went wrong, blaming it on myself, until a dear friend of mine counseled me and advised me to keep trying until I meet my Mr. Right. I told her I would think about it, but she insisted. I remember her telling me that the time I was spending sad and giving up, I could put it to good use, and said just like anything in life, I had to be determined, patient and keep searching. I woke up the next day saying what the heck, I will keep looking and not give this self-pity a chance again. That evening after work, I went back online, and started chatting with some men, after a month back on, there came a man who wanted us to go on a date sooner than not, I told myself, oh well, why not go for it? Guys by the 3rd date, he knew I would be his wife, and I knew he would be my husband. By the 3rd month together, he proposed, yes he proposed guys….it happens. He flew me to Jamaica by the 9th month, for a simple beach ceremony with close family and a few close friends. We have been married 2 years and 3 months now. Very happy, guys I would not think of any other fairy tale story other than mine. Lesson here is that, no matter how bad, slow or disappointing your start may be, it is okay, it is the ending that really counts. I am a very big online dating advocate; because I have come to know that, sometimes you get happiness right away, sometimes you have to be a little more patient, but active in searching. Montresor staff couldn’t have picked any better person than me, in sharing my love story. I do not mind sharing, guys there is hope online…..good luck in your search!
