I cannot tell you the debt of gratitude I hold towads Yahoo Personals. I dated a number of women over the course of a year. Never did I imagine that within a year, I would be engaged to someone I met through Yahoo's personal ads. I dated some women for short periods of time. I caught the eyes of many women by adding a personal touch instead of the usual blabber about what I like to do for fun and my personality. I cut straight to the chase about how I am looking for a life partner and added the factor of how good a person I am. It's a chance to sell yourself in a personal way. Definitely take advantage if you want to try something new and meet people who are serious about finding that right person. Steve
