Her birthday gift: a soulmate
Shannon saw online dating as a way to get to know people she wouldn’t otherwise meet. She signed up on our site to explore those exclusive opportunities for love…
Geir sent Shannon a Flirt all the way from Norway. He was definitely someone she wouldn’t otherwise meet, and for good reason. Talk about your long-distance relationship! “I was really reluctant,” Shannon admits. “But he was so genuine and persistent that I was bowled over.”

Despite the difficult circumstances, both singles saw the promise of something special here. As they began communicating via Skype, Shannon and Geir started to realize that some relationships don’t need to make sense to be worth pursuing.
To put that theory to the test, they met in New York City. Their first date happened to fall on Shannon’s birthday. “From the moment I saw him in person, I knew it was meant to be,” Shannon declares. “I thought he was so gorgeous! Great smile, sweet kisser…a sweet, sweet man.”
Shannon says that the powerful magnetism between them was just the final piece of evidence that love would transcend geography in this case. “We both just ‘knew,’” she says. Geir’s honest nature also stood out for her. “He’s not just a ‘talker.’ He walks the walk!”
Shannon and Geir were married on September 3, 2010.

Beautiful, I think you just know when it is right. I should give up London but I just can't because I can't figure out what happened, all of a sudden communication just stopped, email no longer responds. I should stop but I can't. Michigan and London are far from each other. I think I will wait

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!
