First let me tell you how wonderful your site is ... wow, what an inspiration. Thank you for the time you have put into it.. it gives a somewhat skeptical person as myself a hopeful heart.

This is very odd for me to be writing..but it seems that odd things sometimes have a way of working out. I have been on the Internet for a few years now..and have dated a lot of men that I have met through this medium..and although I've also made a few good friends.. all in all I didn't hold a lot of confidence in finding "Mr. Right" here. I am pretty picky and my family is not so thrilled about the thought of me meeting someone through the internet..although my stories and adventures do seem to keep them entertained.

I put a personal on the Internet as a "bet" between a friend and myself. I was so sure I was going to prove that nobody I would ever be interested in would respond. I received an e-mail from a man last spring who lives in Birmingham England. I was entirely taken by him from his first hello...so much that it really caught me off guard. When I found out where he lived.. I figured the relationship was doomed. Me being sarcastic and skeptical by nature did not help the situation..but he stole my heart in so many ways.

We spoke almost daily... or as much as possible. I knew this man was different. He affected me in a way that nobody else had. He planned a trip to see me (in Michigan) in July, but sadly enough.. I seemed to had poisoned the situation with my over-analytical nature and defeatist attitude..(I think this was just preparing myself for it to not work out...as it all seemed overwhelming to me and completely irrational and impossible to create a future). The trip was called off and my world was shattered... unfortunately I found out too late how much he meant to me and my attitude had been a big mistake.

I realized that sometimes you do just have to listen to your heart, especially where love is involved. I obviously loved this man, as irrational and unbelievable as it may seem.. my heart didn't lie. We both took some time off from each other.. and I really didn't expect to hear from him again, but the bond is so strong we couldn't stay away.. and we began speaking again a couple months ago... our feelings had never left and are now even stronger than ever. He invited me to come to visit..but again (being rational but NOT negative this time) I told him I couldn't do that never having had met in person... ) He has a conference in Chicago in November, and we agreed to concentrate on meeting there in November and if all works out.. then I would consider a trip to England (My life long dream)...

Well, it turns out that we can't wait that long...and he just told me today he is coming in October for 5 days because we just have to be together. I know in my heart that I love this man.. although I have a difficult time explaining it to my head..... I have never felt like this for anyone... not even the man I was married to for 9 years. I can't wait to be with him..but am having a bit of an axiety attack over our first meeting..but we both just know in our hearts it's going to be perfect.

I have never felt like this before about anyone. He quoted a verse of a hymn to me..he said " I will be your rock your flaming brand your sword and shield too," and I truly believe he is all these things.. he is all I've every dreamed of.. no settling for second best, he is my hearts desire.

My parents were excited about his visit in July but they know we had a disagreement and I think will be surprised to know he is coming now...but they are a whole different issue altogether... : ) There are a lot of obstacles ahead of us but I truly believe nothing worthwhile comes easy.

I have had a failed marriage (due to my realization that I was never "in-love" with the man I married) and more than my share of heartache which has left me with quite a large list of priorities I want in a man and a life partner. I wanted the so called "soul mate" and the type of love you only feel exists in movies... I never in my heart thought I would really find it... but I truly believe I have.

It is so scary to think I almost lost him due to the negativity that can surround the image of meeting someone through the Internet. This medium has made my dreams come true.

Thanks again for such a wonderful web page,
Kim
