She Found Far More than a Friend

Like many of our success stories, Brandi and Michael had little hope of finding their soulmate when they joined our site. Or maybe they just didn’t want to be disappointed if it didn’t happen. Brandi describes her low expectations. “I wanted to find the right guy for me, but I was just looking for a friend. I found more.”

Michael sounds a similar note of skepticism. “I didn't think much would come of it, but I wanted to give it a try,” he says. “I certainly didn't think I would find someone as great as her.”

Michael had been on the site about a year when he noticed Brandi’s profile. She was about a month into her membership when she received his Flirt. “I didn’t think I would be that into him,” Brandi confesses. But she wasn’t ruling him out, either, so they instant messaged for a little while. Michael saw some genuine potential here. “I thought she was a cool girl and someone I wanted to get to know better,” he says. “I didn’t think things would go as far as they did.”

When Michael and Brandi met for their first date, both were surprised by the person standing in front of them. “He was more shy than I thought,” Brandi remarks. “But I liked him.” Michael thought she was “much more beautiful in person.” He says that when the date was done, he was hooked. “I knew I wanted to see more of her.”

Brandi “wasn’t so sure” they would go out again. But, in time, “that totally changed.” She says that Michael’s profile and their first meeting didn’t capture everything she appreciates about her man. “He’s way better than I thought,” Brandi elaborates. “I love his sense of humor!”

It may have taken awhile for her to warm up to Michael, but Brandi really came around. So much so that one night, something beautiful happened. “He just randomly asked me how I felt about my last name changing,” she says. Searching her heart, Brandi found that she was just fine with that. “I love having someone to spend the rest of my life with,” Brandi says.

“She is a very caring person,” Michael says of his fiancée. “I love having such a great woman in my life!” For other singles, he advises them to be persistent. “Don’t give up on finding the right girl,” he says. Brandi chimes in with this: “Be patient. Love is out there!”

Brandi and Michael found it. So can you!
