It Took Him Four Years to Find Her

Shannon was on our site for four full years before he met Angela. But his perseverance paid off when he received her Flirt. She says she just couldn’t resist contacting him. “I saw this picture of a gorgeous guy and he seemed nice—very sweet. I had to say hello,” Angela recalls. She had been on the site for nine months but was not a subscriber when she found Shannon’s profile. He made such an impression on her that she bought a subscription just to write to him!

What drew Angela to online dating in the first place? A big part of her motivation was simply better time management. “I work a lot and go to school, so I didn’t have time to go out and meet people,” she explains. “I wasn’t sure I’d find anyone, really.”

Shannon, on the other hand, was a veteran online dater who had tried many other sites. “I just loved the whole idea of online dating,” he says. “To find the lady of my dreams, I knew I had to keep my options open. The Internet was the only way to search every avenue. I knew I would find someone—I just wasn’t sure when, or on what site…”

We’re happy it was ours! “I loved the detail in his profile,” Angela says. “It fit what I was looking for in a guy. And I thought he was very cute!” Shannon couldn’t believe he was receiving Flirts from a woman like Angela. “I thought she was gorgeous!” he says. “And I loved how eager she was to talk with me.”

For their first date, Shannon bought a bus ticket and visited Angela where she lived. “I thought he was very tall and had an innocent face,” Angela remembers thinking at the time. She was pretty nervous, but mostly from the excitement of meeting the man she’d been getting to know from afar. “It’s easy to be yourself with Shannon,” Angela says. “He’s very playful, and he has a gentle disposition.”

Shannon felt the power of their connection multiplying, moment to moment. “We click and connect so easily, on so many levels,” he notes. “Also, she is amazingly positive and upbeat…all the time!”

Today, Shannon and Angela are in a serious relationship and making plans for their future together. “After I graduate from Cleveland State, we will move to a warmer place, preferably Florida,” says Angela. Shannon adds that “We want to marry, but we’re waiting until our careers can support a new home.”

Angela couldn’t be happier with her new beau. “He’s a good person,” she says. “We can do anything together and make it fun and memorable.”

“She always stays true to her nature,” Shannon says. “She’s the most caring person in the world! Thanks for the opportunity to share our success story. It means a lot to have found the right one, and to tell the world about it!”

We’re tickled pink that after four years on our site, Shannon found someone special to share his life with. It just goes to show you that however long you’ve been waiting, when it happens for you, you’ll be glad you were still single!
