About 3 years after my husband of 34 yrs died my friends said you need to get out - men just won't come knock on your door. But I was busy with work, family and friends and time just went by. One day I tried an expensive on line matching that gave you what they thought matched your harmony. After three months of not being pleased enough with any of their selections to meet them; a friend said try Yahoo. Well this was much better I got to see pictures read their bio's and choose for myself who I wanted to respond to. This was much better and a fraction of the cost and of my time.

I did go out with a few turkeys and a few that thought I was the turkey, I also found some that although we are not matched we have remained friends. Then in Oct 2005 I saw a picture of Greg and thought hmmmm- not bad, not bad at all. I e-mailed him and we met the next week and we were very comfortable right from the beginning; we got engaged in May 2006 and married in Oct 2006. I never knew I could be so happy. We tease about who found who first because although I had e-mailed him first he had saved my profile two months before that. I wasn't looking for a husband just someone to do things with; well I hit the jack-pot - there are kind, loving, wonderful mates out there and I really have to thank YAHOO PERSONALS - for sending Greg's picture on my weekly 'here are your latest matches'.

Do not get discouraged - I will give everyone the same advice my Son gave me - "Mom just go out and have fun - do you know how many first dates I had?" (I said I don't need to know that)

When I followed his advice and was just myself and went out to have a good time - I found the person that liked me for myself.

Thank you again Yahoo - I tell everyone that is out looking to try Yahoo Personals!!!!
