Online Dating Success

Hi, my name is Deborah, welcome to my Guide to Successful Online Dating. You may have looked into online dating guides in the past, taken advice from friends and family on the best way to go about online dating, and now you’re wondering why we are any different from the people who have written other guides. We haven’t had any professional training in writing, we both come from completely different professional backgrounds, we aren’t ‘relationship guru’s’, we are quite simply a SUCCESS STORY. We met through a free online dating site, started messaging, and within 8 days we were texting each other saying “I think I’m in love with you xx”, “I think I’m in love with you too xx”. Within EIGHT DAYS. And all of our communicating (after a couple of days of online messaging) was solely through text messaging. We didn’t once speak on the telephone. We learnt about each other through an ongoing text conversation. We were able to really get to know ‘the person inside’…….as Benjamin once wrote to me, “I’m in love with your personality. Everything else is just window dressing”. We were obviously drawn to each other initially by a photograph, but in the end, that just didn’t matter. We fell for each other from the inside first.

By now you may be thinking, “Yeah right, that’ll never happen to me”, or “How did they get to that point so quickly?” Well we never expected it either. It is the kind of stuff of fairy tales, and romantic novels and films. It’s what both of us always wanted, but never figured we’d find. It happened to us, it can happen to you too. It really is our very own happy ever after. And we’re now here to share with you what we did, how we wrote our profiles, what we believe helped us on our way to finding each other. We are living proof that it can truly happen. Everyone deserves to be happy. Everyone should be happy. Hopefully you will be next.

OUR STORIES

BENJAMIN

“After a few months of being single, I decided to try online dating. I was hesitant at first, but after speaking to a few friends, I thought I would give it a try.

I chose a site that is free, but with the option of upgrading to a premier account for a nominal, one-off fee (approximately £20), which I did. This meant that I would show up first on all searches, would have access to profile themes, get more information on who had viewed my profile, if someone read or deleted my messages, as well as additional benefits.

I was extremely serious about finding someone. Not just for casual dating, but for a serious, lifetime commitment. I knew that having a good profile was the best way forwards, and spent a lot of time online researching how to write a good profile, and what would make mine stand out from the rest.

I spoke to a few people, went on a couple of first dates, and was in conversation with two others. Then I discovered Debbie’s profile. I was initially attracted by her profile photo, and was bowled over by her profile. I even asked if she had ever done any professional writing, as it was very expressive!

We progressed from Instant Messaging, to texting very quickly. We didn’t talk on the phone as I wanted to wait until our first date to hear what each other sounded like. Within just a few days I knew I had fallen in love. And told her so on our first date (on a Waltzer ride at the fun-fair, and we bumped heads!).
