| Senior Match |
So one evening, I visited seniormatch, thinking I could just view the available men's profiles. I quickly realized that the website required me to post my own profile first. I was unprepared for this task, and the only photo I could find that didn't include children and grandchildren, was a year old, in which I was 20 lbs. heavier and my hair was shorter and an entirely different color. Regardless, I prepared part of the profile and posted the photo, viewed a few of the men's profiles and then logged out.
Ten days later, I logged in senior match to complete my profile, and was taken by surprise to find emails in my box, as I didn't realize how the site worked yet. Bob's email was the first one there and he had sent it ten days prior. He had sent a follow up email the same day I logged in the 2nd time, expressing his disappointment that I hadn't responded. I of course, felt terrible. I read both emails, viewed his profile, and promptly responded. I ended my email with "If you can forgive me for the delayed response, I would love to chat with you further."
And then it began. This exquisite journey that we are on. At first, we communicated through email... sometimes several a day, just getting to know each other. We shared so many of the same interests, and talked about everything. Then we exchanged phone numbers and began having hour long conversations almost every
evening. We both felt like teenagers again. Of course by then, I had emailed him some current photos and although Bob didn't have a problem with my original photo, he was quite pleased with the "new" me. His response was "First of all, I want to sincerely tell you that you are a strikingly beautiful woman." : )
Our first date was a week after we began corresponding. He took me to a local restaurant... we sat next to each other and held hands. It felt like our 8th date instead of our first because we had discovered so much about each other already. The evening exceeded both our expectations and I was on cloud nine when he dropped me off later. Since then, we've had many more romantic evenings. We look like two teenagers in love, and, although we haven't spoken those words yet, it clearly shows in our body language, our faces, and the light in our eyes.
In response to your question about whether there are marriage plans, it's far too soon to discuss that. We are savoring each moment of our journey together and are making beautiful memories. We continue to delight in the discovery of each other and are grateful for seniormatch.com for bringing us together.
Great post.
