I love Yahoo personals. I did try a few other sites, but I really liked Yahoo the best. I had someone specific in mind and this is the perfect site to find that special someone. I was married for 9 1/2 years and sadly divorced. I was on my own for many years and finally decided to put aside the stereotype that internet dating is for losers who don't have any personality and can not meet anyone. I decided to take a positive approach and think that this could broaden the search for that special someone who I would not normally have the chance to meet. I know who I am attracted to physically so I specified(when I say specific, LOL I mean specific, eye color, height, body type!) who I was interested in, and better yet asked for them to live within 25 miles of me and to attend church regularly. I had two choices, the first one I was not attracted to, the second picture was a bit hard to see, but I thought he looked handsome. I contacted him and did not hear back for almost two months so I had thought that he was involved with someone else. One day, I was cleaning out my email in box and noticed an email that said, "I recieved your response". I had skipped over it previously thinking that this was spam mail, for whatever reason I had not deleted it and was saving it for when I had more time to double check. Sure enough, it was Michael responding back to me!!!! He had responded to me only a few days after I had emailed him, I had just overlooked it. I replied back to him and asked him if he was still single I would like to get to know him better. We emailed for the first week, talked on the phone for the next three weeks, and then finally went on our first date. we have been inseparable ever sense. He asked me to marry him after 6 months of dating, we got married about a year later. We have now been married almost two years in April. He is the best thing that has ever come into my life for my boys and I. Plus a bonus!!!! He has two girls, and I have always wanted girls so things couldn't have worked out better. I am so grateful for Yahoo and giving a chance to introducing couples who normally would not cross paths. Michael is a dream, and dreams can come true! :0)
