Online Dating Marriage Success Stories
Last year I decided I wanted to find my soulmate online. I had avoided taking this drastic measure for several years but it seemed like everyone I know, including friends and co-workers, are signing on, creating profiles, and finding love online. I started looking online and lo and behold I found tons of online dating marriage success stories.
Looking for the Right Notes
Life is rhythmic like the notes on sheet music. People come and go, but at some point you want to hear the full concerto. I knew that when I could find my soulmate, the missing notes in my life would be found. A soulmate adds to life's rhythms but in a way that is enduring and fulfilling.
New to the world of internet dating, when I began searching for my soulmate online I was hesitant to disclose information about myself. I did not know what people would be interested in or how much I should actually reveal. To help me overcome this obstacle I began to search for the online dating marriage success stories of other users. What I found was truly inspiring and gave me real inspiration.

I discovered that I was not the only skeptical first-timer out there. Cynderella met her current husband in a chat room. She was from a small town in a rural area and did not have many options when it came to dating. Like me, her friends suggested she try internet dating.
Cynderella met MJ after just one week. He sent her an emoticon expressing interest and she looked up his profile on the dating site. What she saw intrigued her and she responded. This led to a month of back and forth emails and Instant Messages (IM). The couple finally took it to the next level and met offline.
MJ lived in another state so Cynderella flew to meet him. As soon as she got off the plane she knew she had found her match. "I went from being a nervous Nelly to a self confident woman who would fly across the country to meet a man. Online dating really empowered me to take control of my life. Luckily I found my soul mate and we are now happily married...and living in the same state," says Cynderella. There were no glass slippers, but the music played loud and clear. My first example of an online dating marriage. There were many more.
Happy Surprises!
I continued my efforts to find my soul mate and came across Mark's story. Mark was a college athlete when he met H2O. His friends and he were surfing the internet when a banner for an online dating site popped up. As a joke they decided to explore the site.
Later that same night Mark's friends made a bet with him. If he could get a date within one month on the internet dating site they would wash his athletic gear for a year. Mark decided to take them up on their offer.
Mark created a profile and chatted with several women but most were offended when he explained the bet. "I wanted to be upfront about the bet so it would not be an issue later on," stated Mark in his success story.
The end of the month was drawing near and Mark assumed he had lost the bet. He would be washing the gear for not only himself the rest of the year - he would also be washing his friends' gear.

Two days before the end of the month Mark happened upon a profile and photo that caught his interest. He emailed, she responded, and they chatted for the entire night. H2O lived in a nearby town and Mark set up a date to meet her at a local movie theater. She was not offended by the bet. "She has a great sense of humor," says Mark. "We dated for 6 months and knew we wanted to be together forever. We are now engaged and plan to get married in 2010." Wow, that was online dating marriage success story number two. I started to feel better about my possibilities.
Enjoying the Music
While trying to find my soul mate I was led to great success stories, but I also found some online dating marriage failures, to call them something. Mad4You met a wonderful man who matched all of her criteria. "I could not believe we had so many interests in common. I was really attracted after a few chats," says Mad4You. Unfortunately there was a problem she did not expect. "Just because a person tells you they are divorced from a previous spouse does not mean they are not married now!"
I was also surprised at the number of single parents looking for love online. Many singles reported that they had found great matches with other single parents. Just make sure your kids are compatible if you find true love!
Yellowtutu met the man of her dreams on an internet dating site. She was a single mom with 3 teens. She connected with Digthis who had 2 sons form a previous marriage. She corresponded with him for several months before letting her children know she had found someone.
On the first date Yellowtutu's eldest daughter fell head over heels for Digthis's younger son. He was also attracted to her but they did not let their parents know and met in secret for over a year. Mad4You and Digthis eventually realized they were not the perfect match and the kids told their story.
"It may not have worked for me but I am able to justify my experience with this man and not feel I wasted my time. My daughter and his son have been happily married now for 3 years and have given us 2 fabulous grandkids," says Yellowtutu. I realized that while I worked to find my soulmate, the online dating adventure could take unexpected turns toward happiness.
Yes...life is full of rhythms. When I find my own online dating marriage success story, or when you find yours, be sure to listen closely. The music will swell with the fullness of familiar notes.
