A Dream He Doesn’t Want to Wake Up From

Lamont found the dating scene in his part of Virginia to be pretty uninspiring. “I wanted to try something new and exciting,” he says. “So I figured online dating might be a great way to branch out.”

In fact, our site was his first experience with online personals. What took him so long? “To be honest, I kind of saw it as a joke for a long time,” Lamont admits. “But I came to a point in my life where I just said ‘why not?!’ So I signed up. I was a member on and off for a little over a year…”

That’s when he noticed Jillian, a single woman living in California. One look at her profile pics told Lamont she was “breathtakingly gorgeous.” He sent her a Flirt and then an email. His efforts sparked an active correspondence that, after about a week, evolved into chats on Skype.

“We’ve talked every single day since,” Lamont says. “Jillian was intriguing and had one of the best personalities I’ve ever encountered. Talking to her always made me feel warm inside. Our conversations flowed with ease and excitement. I always left our talks wanting more.”

Fortune smiled on the pair when a trip brought Jillian into Lamont’s neck of the woods. “We had been talking constantly for about a month and she was coincidently going to be on the East Coast, so I wanted to take the opportunity to meet before she went back home to California,” Lamont says. “It was a must.”

With that in mind, Lamont drove from Virginia to Pennsylvania to meet Jillian. Along the way, he faced a host of obstacles including car trouble, but nothing bothered him in the least. He was a man on a mission and thoughts of Jillian kept his spirits up. When at last they met face to face, Lamont discovered that Jillian was every bit as beautiful as her pictures promised. He remembers thinking, “Wow, she’s gorgeous and this is real!”

While Lamont and Jillian were immediately comfortable with each other, there was still the challenge of sustaining a long-distance romance. “I was pretty sure we would go out again, but the distance raised a question,” Lamont remembers. “Still, I was determined to make it happen.”

So far, Lamont and Jillian are making it work. Part of Lamont’s motivation is that Jillian’s appeal is far more than skin deep. He says her profile couldn’t convey the whole truth about her. What he values most is “how considerate and selfless she is. She honestly makes me want to be a better man.”

No doubt about it, Jillian’s love has changed his life. “It has been nothing less than a dream come true,” says Lamont. “I'm still waiting to wake up! In a world where I was starting to doubt ‘true love,’ God showed me that with patience and time, great things come to those who wait.”

Looks like Lamont’s wait is over!
