She thought she was too busy to look for love
Jessie was a very busy single mother. Working 12-hour shifts as a nurse while going to school on the side doesn’t offer a lot of opportunities for dating! She wasn’t meeting many eligible guys in the course of her day, so Jessie decided to give Internet dating a shot.
It all started the week before Valentine’s Day, when Joe sent Jessie a flirt on the site. She didn’t respond immediately, but she liked what she saw on his profile. Joe indicated that he was looking to meet women between the ages of 30 and 40. “That told me he was serious and ready for commitment,” notes Jessie. “He wasn’t looking for some 18-year-old arm candy!”

The next time Jessie was online, she saw that Joe was too and... invited him to chat. That went well and Joe gave her his phone number. They chatted again and two days later—on Valentine’s Day—Jessie made the call. It was a great conversation, but soon thereafter Jessie was leaving to go on vacation in Africa. Without hesitation, Joe added international calling to his phone plan so they could talk during the three weeks Jessie was out of the country.
It wasn’t until the middle of March that Joe and Jessie went on their first date. She could tell from the moment they met that Joe might be a keeper. “I thought he looked exactly like his pictures, which was a relief,” she recalls. “He looked so sexy, his eyes were so dreamy, and he was unpretentious. The answers to the questions I had for him were on point, uncensored and genuine.”
After enjoying a scenic drive, they stopped to share pizza and wine at a small cafe. Sitting outside, Jessie and Joe were surrounded by passerby on the sidewalk and cars on the street, but all the hustle and bustle seemed to disappear around them. “We were in a zone,” says Jessie. “Everything seemed to stop and all I could see or hear was Joe.”
The couple couldn’t shake the feeling that they had somehow met each other before—they felt just that comfortable together. Both are into the outdoors, photography and travel but more importantly, they found their core principles aligned.
The night ended with dinner at a cozy Mexican restaurant. “The conversation, the mood, and the company were just right,” says Jessie. “As he dropped me off that evening, I knew he was the one.”
Their date had lasted nearly eight hours, but for Jessie and Joe, it seemed like no time at all. They are now seeing each other exclusively and talking about making a lifelong commitment. “Joe is warm, genuine, open...He has a big heart,” Jessie says of her man. “He makes me feel like a princess!”
So, no matter how busy you are, save room in your life for love—it might be waiting for you here, right now…

This is an example of love being expressed with no limits. There is nothing more beautiful than a diverse America. Who's to say we have to date people similar to us in cultural background or heritage. We should be with someone who makes us happy. People, never be ashamed of the one you love, if they see it, they will move on to someone who is no afraid to show you them off to the world. Best Wishes!

serenity33 says:Posted: 19 Sep 10I one one hundred percent with you, JimShorts. I especially agree with the latter statement because people can be married and cheating and the internet can help you really get to know the person better in that capacity. You can run background checks online to see someone’s marital status and other things they may have bad in their past. I especially encourage women to do this with all the internet predators out there. There is an entire blog out there about an internet stalker and how women have to be safer when dating online. I totally agree with that.

JimShorts says:Posted: 28 Aug 10I've used the internet successfully and like it for 2 reasons: 1) it's convenient and with a busy schedule allows me to seek a partner at any time - day or night, AND 2) it takes the guesswork out of the equation. Meeting someone "live" doesn't mean they're singel, or even available.

I hope their marriage last forever and is a happy one. But people can be married and cheating and the internet can help you really get to know the person better in that capacity. You can run background checks online to see someone’s marital status and other things they may have bad in their past. I especially encourage women to do this with all the internet predators out there. There is an entire blog out there about an internet stalker and how women have to be safer when dating online. So for those of you not yet married, a good background check is always a good way to be safe and not get hurt emotionally or physically.

The internet provides a viable option for busy professionals and folks who tend to by shy natured. Why leave things to chance? An online profile allows one to gain a basic understanding of what a person is like, and indicates a willingness and availability to date.

Men will always be chasing women just like it has been since the dawn of time so I doubt that any woman will ever find not enough time to be pursued by a man and have a relationship.

With the domineering role that social networking sites are achieving, it shouldn't be surprising that the internet plays a vital role for those who don't find traditional methods of meeting a potential successful. Congrats Joe & Jessie!

Oh I have confidence you will find a guy if you put out the right bait because guys mostly care about is looks and sex as do most women. So I have nothing but the utmost confidence in you that you will succeed.

Coaching Testimonial
"The Coaching Service served as an incredible perk and has really enhanced my online dating experience"
Submitted by: Karen, USA, 34
My Dating Coach really took the time to go through my profile thoroughly. First she viewed my pictures and gave me great feedback.
She read through the written portion of my profile, line by line, and gave direct feedback on how to add my personality to it.
My amazing consultant, even asked how my contacts where going and offered a few suggestions to increase my interactions with new men.
I took her advice and made the suggested adjustments.
I have received more contact from men, more views, and have started communicating with more people which was the whole point of joining the site in the first place.
The Coaching Service served as an incredible perk and has really enhanced my online dating experience. Thanks!

Nice story.....beautiful lady. I hope it works out, and I am really glad to see that more and more black women are dating for happiness and taking a chance with other cultures of men. Had someone asked me 5 years ago would I date a caucasian or asian male, I would have said no. But I am inspired more now than ever before. Shotgun007
