From Doubts to a Dream Come True

To say that Edwin and Diane went into online dating with high hopes would be a great exaggeration. In fact, to say that they were even taking it seriously is a stretch. We asked Edwin why he joined our site. “My friend dared me,” he replies.

Diane was slightly more optimistic about what online personals could do for her. “It seemed like the best way to meet a man with the same goals in life, without wasting much time,” she says. But Diane admits she fell victim to the common misperception that people who date online aren’t truly committed to the task of finding someone special. After about six months on our site, she had only logged in a handful of times.

In Edwin’s case, he was a member for less than a week when he got a Flirt from “Latishasugar.” It was Diane, using her website alias. Struck by her beauty and what he calls her “stunning character,” Edwin wrote back. Thus began an active correspondence. “Eddyx” asked “Latishasugar” a number of forthright questions in hopes of getting to know her better.

“He remembered the things I told him,” notes Diane. “He was honest and he had real interest in me.” But as Diane lived in Munich, Germany and Edwin in London, England, it would be awhile before they met in person.

For months, long emails were launched from Munich to London and back. “We became the best part of the day to each other,” Diane says. She was delighted but not surprised when Edwin announced that he wanted to visit her.

They met in Munich and enjoyed their very first weekend together. Edwin reveals what he thought when he first laid eyes on Diane: “I thought, ‘NICE! I think I’m in love,’” he laughs. Diane remembers feeling very lucky herself. “What a sweet guy! Thank you, Lord, for sending him,” was her first thought.

Today, all is well with this happy European tandem. “We are a couple and we have big plans,” Diane says. “By the end of the year, he will move to Munich and we will live together. We have also booked two vacations together!”

Edwin and Diane are a little embarrassed to admit their initial skepticism, but very grateful they got over it. Finding love online wasn’t a foolish dream—for these two, it was a dream come true. “Love is the most special thing in the world,” Diane says. “He is the person I trust the most in my life.”

For his part, Edwin puts it simply but in no uncertain terms. “She loves me and I love her!”

And that’s what it’s all about.
