Almost a decade ago, when online dating was in its infancy, I was sitting in my college apartment, surfing the dot com. Suddenly, this email pops up with a picture. I wish I could explain to you the giddiness I felt when I saw him. Back then, he sort of looked like Ben Affleck to me. And I wasn’t giddy just because I thought he was cute, but also because he went to the same type of church as I did. Could my dream man finally have found me? I had been praying for months for this.

We emailed and talked on the phone and finally met two weeks later. Eleven months after that we married and I moved to live with him in another state. Our happily ever after is still going strong after nine years.

The internet is a wonderful tool to find people you might not find otherwise. Technology opened the doors to this whole new arena that wasn’t possible even fifteen years ago. Now, instead of being locked into a certain area, the world is literally at our fingertips. Sure, there are posers out there but as long as you practice common sense – not giving away your personal information, meeting in a public place – it’s time to get searching. Don’t worry about being shy or not good enough, those things have a way of disappearing behind a computer screen so the real you can shine. There are several online dating sites can be found at the internet and some ofthese dating sites are free to use. You can also consider paid dating services and christianmingle is one of these paid dating site. Site is easy to use and there are thousands of profiles registered to christianmingle.com dating site.

These days, my husband gets stopped by star struck teenagers asking him if he’s ever been told he looks like Daughtry. Uh, yeah. All the time. And his wife loves it. Even better than his looks is his heart of gold and his strong faith in God. All made possible by online dating. What can we say? We’re a product of our time!
