They Never Would Have Met in a Nightclub

Elizabeth and Charles had a lot in common; they just didn’t know it. Both are devout Christians who didn’t feel comfortable meeting people in bars or nightclubs. In fact, they didn’t even feel comfortable being in a bar or nightclub! So naturally their thoughts turned to Internet dating.

“I didn’t know if it would work,” Charles says. But he was willing to try. “I was not very sure,” agrees Elizabeth. But you don’t have to be sure to succeed. You just have to put yourself out there!

They joined our site at about the same time. About six months later, Elizabeth added Charles to her Favorites list. He responded. “We had an instant connection,” he declares. She says she could tell very early on that Charles was “real, kind and sincere.” His impression was that Elizabeth was “down-to-earth and had a great sense of humor.”

Their romance flowered over the next days and weeks. “We talked for hours every day,” Elizabeth explains. “We are soul mates!” Charles notes that their connection is “very spiritual.”

They had the “mutual feeling” to get married, and so they did. “He makes me so happy!” Elizabeth gushes. “God sent him, I have no doubt.”

Charles says he’s never been so happy in all his life. “She is the best thing to ever happen to me!”

Do they have any advice for the millions of singles still out there? “Expand your search,” Elizabeth advises. “You never know where that person is.”

Charles wants people to recognize that dating requires determination. “Never give up,” he says. “It's always darkest before the dawn.”
