Carolyn & Jim

A Man Unafraid of Commitment

Jim wasn’t new to the online dating world, and this wasn’t the first site he had signed up with. But after a closer look at our service, the search specifics available and the success stories members have shared, Jim became convinced that this was the place. This was where he’d find love…

Lucky for him, that’s what happened with Carolyn, too. “I wanted to give this site a try because it met my specific search needs,” she explains.

Jim took it one step further. He was so convinced he’d never need to look anywhere else that he signed up for a lifetime membership! This was a man unafraid of commitment.

For her part, Carolyn thought that her chances were about “fifty-fifty.” But then she found Jim’s profile. She was struck by just how much he fit what she was looking for! It was, she says, “as if he were designed just for me.” She kept reading and was thrilled to find the description of his “type” was practically a description of her. “It was me to a T!”

She marked his profile as a Favorite and “he responded with an email.” This was swiftly followed by a volley of emails and phone calls, all of which made a strong first impression on Carolyn. “I could tell he was outgoing and had a personality I was drawn to,” she informs us.

And what did Jim think? “I thought she was attractive,” he says. “I REALLY liked her profile, too.”

It wasn’t long before she felt ready to meet. “I knew that I liked him as a person,” says Carolyn. Jim had no hesitation about it either, so a date was set and kept.

“It was an impromptu date and it went extremely well,” reports Jim. “I was 110% positive that we’d go out again.” Carolyn notes that “there was no level of awkwardness. I was extremely comfortable in his presence.”

As the night wore on, Carolyn came to adore Jim. “He is absolutely the sweetest and most thoughtful man!” She’s also not too modest to reveal that, “after chatting for awhile, he was very impressed with me.” Jim doesn’t hesitate to confirm that. “She’s very down-to-earth, very easy going and very easy to talk to.”

As one date led to another, the pair found their connection having a profound effect on both of them. “He is my lifeline to happiness,” enthuses Carolyn. “And he can finally get off the website for good!”

Here’s her advice to online daters looking for love… “Be assertive, reach out to people, be open-minded and don’t immediately be judgmental.” Adds Jim, “Be patient and willing to talk to numerous people.”

Looks like Jim won’t be needing that lifetime membership he bought, but something tells us he doesn’t mind!
