Personal Ad Success

Submitted by: Kevin and Jacki

Kevin & I met through an ad that I had placed in an online personals website (match.com) on a dare. Both of us had recently come out of bad situations and were looking for someone to be good friends with. When I read Kevin's response to my ad, there was something in it that attracted me; I think it was the genuiness of it. He also says that was what made him respond to the ad. Although he only lived about 200 miles from me, we talked online and on the phone for almost 2 months before meeting in person. Neither of us were looking for anything serious - we were both professionally employed and content in our careers - but the more we talked the more the closeness grew between us. When we finally met in person, I think we both knew there was definitely more than friendship there - the attraction was incredibly strong. That meeting was almost 2 years ago. I moved to his place about 4 months after meeting in person, and we were married on September 19, 1998. When we first told people that we met on the 'net', they were amazed that it actually worked. Now, we seem to be an inspiration for a lot of people who are looking to meet that special someone without all the hassles that come with regular dating.
