Her birthday gift: a soulmate
Shannon saw online dating as a way to get to know people she wouldn’t otherwise meet. She signed up on our site to explore those exclusive opportunities for love…
Geir sent Shannon a Flirt all the way from Norway. He was definitely someone she wouldn’t otherwise meet, and for good reason. Talk about your long-distance relationship! “I was really reluctant,” Shannon admits. “But he was so genuine and persistent that I was bowled over.”

Despite the difficult circumstances, both singles saw the promise of something special here. As they began communicating via Skype, Shannon and Geir started to realize that some relationships don’t need to make sense to be worth pursuing.
To put that theory to the test, they met in New York City. Their first date happened to fall on Shannon’s birthday. “From the moment I saw him in person, I knew it was meant to be,” Shannon declares. “I thought he was so gorgeous! Great smile, sweet kisser…a sweet, sweet man.”
Shannon says that the powerful magnetism between them was just the final piece of evidence that love would transcend geography in this case. “We both just ‘knew,’” she says. Geir’s honest nature also stood out for her. “He’s not just a ‘talker.’ He walks the walk!”
Shannon and Geir were married on September 3, 2010.

goldiegurl says:Posted: 15 Jul 20well im glad it worked out for both, however been there and done that and just gets to b TOO much expense, one or the other has to leave the job and after a good job , and both had families on both sides to take care of, another sitiutation, if u dont have situtations on either side great, but if u do, thats why im not interested in LONG DISTANCE.

Coaching Testimonial
"My online love inspiration angel"
Submitted by: Patricia, USA, 21
To be honest, in the beginning, I thought it would be a waste of time. But since I've never seen a similar service in any other dating site, I decided to give it a try.
I always "thought" my profile was on point and I did not need any help to correct my page. I always had in my profile if someone is not attracted to my profile, then that's "their" loss.
BOY WAS I WRONG!!
I will never forget my first time using the Coaching Service I was introduced to my personal Dating Coach. Let me put it this way, if it was not for her I would have given up long time ago (even though I'm a new member).
She taught me so many things and gave me good advice, I did not want to stop chatting with her at all.
She opened my eyes to many possibilities when finding love. She is definitely an inspiration and I appreciate a whole lot. She is more than a Dating Coach to me; she is more of a close friend/guide to me. She is definitely my "online love-inspiration angel".
