Find a Date

On June 9, 2008, I received an e-mail from a profile with no photo, but with a very interesting message that caught my attention. I think I was in a good mood that day, since I don’t read profiles without photos. But when it’s destiny, there is no escape… hahaha.

I responded to this profile without a photo and asked him to send a photo of himself, and I will be truthful: it was because of this photo that did not show his face and because it seemed like he was throwing his arms around the world that I added him on June 11. We began to talk online and I wasn’t interested in responding to anyone else.

We developed an incredible chemistry. His good humor and words enchanted me. We spent hours talking and laughing without realizing that the day was over and the next day had arrived for us to wish each other a Good Morning. This was such a pleasant sensation that, the next day when I arrived at work, the first thing I did was to find out whether or not he was online.

We began a new conversation and I saw that he had a Web cam. I asked him to turn it on so that I could see him, since I still didn’t know what he looked like. He resisted a bit, since he thought that if I saw him, I would no longer want to talk to him… hahaha. He said that I was very pretty and that he was embarrassed and afraid of losing what he was feeling and transmitting through our conversations, but he had no idea that I was in love with him. I was bewitched, enchanted by him.

I was bewitched, enchanted by him

He was marvelous even before I saw him! I was bewitched, enchanted by him. But I convinced him, without too much persistence, and he was very handsome anyhow. To be honest, it was even better that way, since I could see his gestures, smiles and silliness. I saw that everything that he said and did was true.

On June 13, I invited him to meet with me. He became pale, went into a cold-sweat, got extremely nervous about the invitation, but he accepted and came to visit me on June 14! I must confess that he was even more handsome that I had thought. It was more than I could have ever prayed for! He was my greatest gift. We began to date on that very day and we are deeply in love. It is a true love indeed! We are even making engagement plans for this month and even thinking about getting married at the end of the year.

For you, members of Dating Place, let me say that physical beauty is not important, it simply dazzles our eyes. The beauty of the person is what is truly important, since this is what fills our soul.

I would like to thank the Dating Place team, since you helped me find my perfect match.

I love you, Paulo.
You are a very special man.

I had been a member of Dating Place for a long time. I thought that I would never meet the woman that I wanted in my life, but I finally did.

We met on Dating Place in October of 2005, and immedialy felt a great attraction.

I live in the United States, she lives in Brazil. We talked every day after we met here, and finally I took a trip to Brazil to meet her in person. She was everything that I had imagined and everything that I wanted in my life. It was certainly love at first site.

I spent 10 days with her, and it was the best 10 days that I had ever had. Sometimes, things just seem so perfect, and when they do, you need to realize that this is this person for me. We both realized that.

My birthday is July 5th, and this year, it is not only my birthday, it is also my wedding day. We were married the morning of my birthday.

Thanks to this website, my life is finally complete, with the love that I have been searching for.

It is true, that there is someone out there for all of us, and this website brought us together.
Thank you so much, Dating Place !!!!!

I’d never been online before to meet somebody. I’m from Săo Paulo and my parents live in Brazil. I decided to move to the U.S., in New York, with my brothers, to study English, get a job and make a good start in life. I didn’t plan to come back to Brazil so I decided to meet American men so as to learn their language and their culture better. The first time I looked for a site I was lucky enough to come across Dating Place and I registered.

I started to surf the site in search of somebody interesting and wrote to everybody whose profile and photo appealed to me. It was this way that I came across Sid3030 from the state of California. He replied to me and then we started chatting online to know each other better. He was very romantic, seductive and affectionate and I started to become fond of him – until I plucked up the courage to tell him what I was feeling for him. I was so eager, my heart beat fast as I watched the screen waiting for his answer. Then he told me he was also becoming fond of me and I was so happy. We started to make plans to meet each other personally and we even spoke of marriage. We chatted 2, 3 and even 4 hours every evening. We exchanged electronic cards, gifts by mail, and he used to send me flowers without prior notice. One day he told me he wanted to marry me. I was so happy and excited.

I traveled to California. Before I could get my baggage, I saw Patrick waiting for me and it was all magical. Every step I approached him, an indescribable feeling came over me. There was the man I loved and now I could see him in person. We spent a wonderful weekend. He talked and explained a lot of things to me. His voice was like music to my ears. He had bought a nice engagement ring and Saturday night he proposed to me. I accepted. It was a romantic and wonderful moment and so we got engaged. On Sunday afternoon I flew back to New York. I realized he was just like me, with tears in his eyes.

April to December were the most intense months I have lived in my whole life, full of expectations, love and hope. When everything was ready, Patrick came to New York to pick me up. I left with him taking all my things with me. To me it was the hardest day in my life, but I loved Patrick and I was marrying him. We had our civil marriage. There were only the two of us, can you believe it?

We had scheduled two dates, civil wedding on 01/04/2005 and religious wedding on 02/05/2005, because my parents live in Brazil. Patrick’s family lives in the city of Reno, state of Nevada (USA), and our wedding took place there. My brothers went to Reno and my parents came from Brazil for our wedding. It was wonderful to have both families together. The happiness and the emotion were too big for our families because Patrick is the youngest child in his family and I was the first child in mine to get married.

After all the emotion, our lives came back to normal. I always do the best I can and aim to be the best possible mother. I come back to Brazil and New York to visit my parents and my brothers but this is my place now, beside Patrick.

There are two songs that are especially meaningful in our love story – The First Time (Ever I Saw Your Face), sung by Celine Dion, and A Wedding Day, with the BeeGees.

This is our love story and we thank God. We are also grateful to Dating Place. You have made another love story possible.

Kisses,
Marcia and Patrick

Three years had already gone by and I was still curious looking for a profile that could be my perfect match. As the Brazilian saying goes, “There’s a cover for every saucepan!” Well, by then I felt I was like a frying pan, where no cover will fit! (hehehe). But among those searches, I found somebody very special to me. He’s Marinho and lives in the U.S., while I live here in Brazil!

We had a 6-month online love affair (hehehe), it was hard, being fond of somebody you don’t really know, with no face to face. But everything turned out all right...

He came here by the end of 2005 and we went out a lot for 30 days until in New Year we got engaged!!!

I’m very happy and want to form a family. Thanks to this technology and to Dating Place I’m even planning to marry him!

You’ll also find your match! Your dreams will come true, believe me.

A heart-felt kiss to all of you.

Hi! I’m Dora, 52 years old, retired police officer, divorced 21 years ago. Edgar, 61 years old, a retired military officer and a widower since August 2004, after a happy 35-year-long married life. We both wanted to reconstruct our lives and were looking for a serious relationship.

I exchanged e-mails with several candidates. I even met 3 of them personally, but things didn’t turn out as expected.

I was about to give up when in late October 2004 I found the new profile of felipos10, still incomplete, and right at that moment something deep inside pushed me to welcome him and to wish him a lot of luck in his search. I invited him to see my profile, even though I was not Evangelical as he wanted. I also noticed that he discriminated against divorced women and I asked him not to judge me without knowing the story of my separation. As he’s a gentleman, he answered, but didn’t give me much hope. I continued to write. When I then saw his photo, his eyes struck me. I knew I had seen those eyes before, behind dark-framed glasses, in a dream I had had more than 5 years before. As in spite of getting my e-mails and phone numbers he didn’t get in touch, and even rejected an invitation to go out or walk in the park, I was about to give up.

I usually entered the site several times every day, only to look at his picture and try to decipher the attraction in those eyes. Once we chatted on the PapoDireto, and there things became more difficult because he found me snob nose, conceited, and I don’t know what else. I wrote that I wouldn’t stop until I could change the image he had formed about me. Then I started to send him e-mails, but I got an e-mail from him telling me he’d meet an Evangelical Brazilian woman who was arriving from the U.S. I thanked him for his sincerity and frankness. I also told him I’d give it up too, as the one I was interested in was not keen on me. I wished happiness to both of them.

After some days, he wrote me telling me he was feeling extremely dissatisfied with the contacts he had made there so far. He felt that there were only pretenders and liars on that site. I told him it wasn’t so. There were serious and valuable people on the site, who were really looking for their perfect match. The only thing was we were terribly AFRAID. He was because he had been very happy in his first marriage, and I, because I hadn’t been at all.

It was 12/08/04 and as usual I was waiting for a reply from felipos10. Late in the afternoon, when I looked for his reply at the site once again, I saw there was no answer from him. I was already leaving the computer behind when he called me by PapoDireto. I nearly missed the chance!

His words showed he was extremely depressed, he told me he had wept a lot that afternoon with my last e-mail and had spent the whole afternoon without wanting to rise from bed, so big was his depression. He asked me, “Am I the man of you life?” Without being aware of the responsibility involved in my answer, somebody inside me answered I was! He asked me how come I knew, and I replied that the “bells in my heart” had been tolling for him from the very day I first read his profile and sent him my first e-mail.

We made plans to go to the movies. I waited for him at the door. He says he fell in love with me the moment he saw me. I was already in love with him for a long time. When I told him I had seen him in a dream but with dark square-framed glasses, he informed me that was the model of glasses he wore in the past, as I was able to confirm when I saw old photographs of him.

The following week we traveled and I asked if he would marry me. He had already proposed to me. When we were back, we went to the Civil Registry Office on 01/17/05 and on 02/25/05 we got married.

We lived less than 5 km from each other. We had never come across before, and if it hadn’t been thanks to PARTNERDESC, we’d never have met. Well, some people must have helped for sure. And God’s blessings, I don’t even need to mention, do I?

Thank you all and a thousand kisses for everybody
Dora e Edgar Ervilha

Our story was very funny. One Saturday I was using my computer and as usual I entered this site to read my e-mails in ParPerfeito, when suddenly I saw somebody was calling me from the on-line chat room. Usually I didn’t accept to chat with people without a photo in their profile, so at first I thought of making a joke about him, but then I decided to accept and, to my surprise, I met a gentle and wonderful man.

I realized there was something wrong with his Portuguese, but I didn’t ask anything. I didn’t want to be rude. As the chat advanced, he told me he was Norwegian but knew Brazil because he had been here 16 times.

”Gosh, I think this man only wants an adventure”, I thought, but once again he surprised me with this gentleness so we continued chatting but as it was late for him to go on chatting with me – there is a 4-hour time difference between Brazil and Norway – we decided to get in touch again the following Saturday. And then Saturday, Sunday, every day he contacted me and I sent him e-mails every day, about 10 cards per day – it was all so strange and at the same time wonderful.

Well, he told me he’d come to Brazil in November on holidays, and would stay for 3 months. I was so eager and happy. November arrived and so did Willy, we had started to chat in August and since then I had been looking forward to November.

As I live in Rio I had to wait for him to arrive here because his flight came directly to Goiânaia, where he had some affairs to settle. The long-awaited day arrived. To start with, his flight had a 3-hour delay, so I was on the verge of a heart attack, and when his flight finally arrived he was the last one to disembark. I was so nervous I didn’t know what to do.

We didn’t need to worry much. We looked at each other, joined in an embrace, and I took him to the hotel I had reserved for him. After that day, we saw each other every day, I missed a university exam, it was so wonderful to be together – it seemed we had known each other for years.

He met my family and friends. Everybody liked him and since then we have been together. We got engaged in January. We want to have our own family and plan to marry soon. There’s only a small problem – his job. He stays 15 days in Norway and 15 days here, but I understand and we intend to settle over there one day, who knows.

The only certainty I have now is that he is MY GREAT LOVE, he’s everything I once asked GOD for.

Thanks, ParPerfeito. Warm regards to everybody and believe me – Love really exists and everything happens at the right time.

Kisses for all.

Our story is a question of destiny. I registered on a Sunday afternoon on 04/23/06, entered the site, had a look at the people who were registered, and one of them called my attention. Germanico3 was his nickname and by his picture I saw he was a very special person. In fact he was. I felt I had known him for a long time, even without reading what his profile said.

I sent him an e-mail and one minute later I got his reply. It was at that moment that our relationship got started. Everything went well during our chat and after some hours chatting, he suggested a phone call. I was very happy and full of hope so I accepted. This marked the beginning of a relationship that had never crossed my mind – meeting somebody on the Internet finally, something I had never imagined.

The most special and significant things in our lives take place unexpectedly, and this is what happened to me thanks to the resources available at the site. Today I can say I am so pleased to have benefited from the advantages offered by the Internet.

We are having a serious relationship and even though only a short time has passed, I can already say I have found my perfect match. We are very happy and if everything goes on like this we plan to get engaged by the end of the year.

I’m especially thankful to Dating Place. Warm regards.

I only saw this lady's profile by coincidence, while doing a slightly different search. I was not expecting to do more than pay a compliment, as her profile asked for someone in her own country.

However, we talked for 6 hours! I have now visited her in Brazil and prospects look very optimistic.

I am sending this e-mail to tell you my Success Story. Actually my story was already published several months ago, but now I have the news that I got married and am eight months pregnant. This is the first child for myself and my husband.  

I was living in Rio de Janeiro before I met my husband, and now I live in the USA.  

My love story grows stronger every day. We have been married for one year and my life has changed completely.  

Thanks to you and the will of God I was able to realize my dream of having a family.  

I had already given up hope when I met my husband. We talked for two months over the computer and by telephone. He went to Brazil to meet my family and I came to the U.S. to meet his. Within six months I was already moving here, I left my job and sold the few things I had.  

Here I am finding the happiness I had been seeking for so long and every day I feel more blessed by everything that God is giving me.  

I want to tell other people who are still looking for their perfect match not to give up. Happiness is out there and the right time comes along for everyone.  

Thank you.

I met someone very special here, and I can’t believe we met on the internet...  

It was overwhelming how things happened so quickly, and we even had a "trial" period since Renato was leaving the country for a while.  

We were both surprised to meet someone and fall in love on the site. Neither one of us believed it was possible... I think we are the kind of people who were done with taking big risks, since we came into it without great expectations. We want to thank you so much, under normal circumstances we would have to ask you to be our best man and maid of honor... You gave us the gift that everyone spends their whole life trying to find: the opportunity to enjoy life and meet a great love...

I have used Dating Place as a Basic and a Gold member for about 2 years. It was just a way to have fun and meet people from other countries.

About two months ago things changed. I met someone here that I felt like I had to meet in person. Hazinha from Brasilia, Brazil and I (gatinhone), from Fredericksburg, Virginia, USA liked each other in a very short amount of time. I decided after two months to take a short vacation to get a chance to really know her. I had ten wonderful days in Brasilia with hazinha and we are in love! It is perfect! I can't believe what happened.

I want to thank Dating Place for giving me the opportunity to meet my soul mate!

In 2000 I put my profile on Dating Place. I started to correspond with a lot of guys and ended up meeting some of them in person, but nothing went any further.

One day I got an e-mail that didn’t catch my eye at first, until I took a look at his profile. After I responded to the e-mail we were in constant contact by telephone and we exchanged a lot of photos. We finally met in person in February 2001 and we had already started to fall in love. We got engaged after going out for ten months and we got married on December 20, 2003. That’s why I believe there is such a thing as a “Perfect Match” and you should look for him or her. Today I am eternally grateful to God and to the site for having found the person with whom I want to spend all the days of my life.

Good luck to everyone.

"He was my birthday gift (laughter). I received his first email the day before my birthday, in September. An arrow from Cupid was responsible for our approach. We exchanged emails, and soon began speaking to each other over the phone. This was some good Cupid! Three days later we met personally.

To those of you who haven't found your soul mate: keep on persisting in your searches, but especially define well what your main objectives are - that which you wish to find - and keep on communicating (through emails, chat, phone calls, meetings) with people who have the same goals.

Leave prejudice behind. Nowadays, cool people do sit at their computers. Even so, try to leave needs behind, and pay attention to whom you're going out with."

"Well, I don't remember very well when it all started. All I remember is that I had been registered at Dating Place for some time. One day, I received an email from "nut", who had liked my profile and had an affinity percentage of 92%. We began exchanging messages, but she was ending a relationship. I thought it would be better, at the time, for us to be just friends. She spent carnival in Cabo Frio. When she came back, she wanted to know why I had never asked about her physical appearance, and if we would ever meet. She always seemed very determined, independent, and determined. This caught my attention very much.

I decided to give a step forward and sent her my picture, with her promise of sending me hers. She wasn't able to, giving the excuse that she couldn't scan her pictures. One day I found a message from her ("Nut") giving me her phone numbers, with the following sentence: "if you want, call me! If not, it's ok!!".

I was feeling awkward. I interpreted the message as a ultimatum, and decided to give it a try. I called, and we had a conversation. She said she had broken up her relationship because she was looking for a more sensible and romantic guy (I fitted in that description).

We decided to arrange a date on 24/03. I arrived late due to traffic and she thought I'd given up for having seen her and thought she was ugly. She called my cel phone and I was arriving. When I saw a beautiful woman with a cell phone calling me, I was motionless. I asked her if she was Carla, and she said yes. At that moment, I thought this was a prank from friends, because the person in front of me was too pretty to be lost and dateless on the Internet.

We spoke all night, but I still thought it was a prank. I mentioned to her that I was embarassed, because it was unimaginable to think of a person who was intelligent, pretty, sensible, determined, alone, etc. I asked to begin a relationship with her and she accepted it :o).

It was around 3 in the afternoon on 25/03. We were enjoying each other a lot, and on the day of her birthday (in the month of May) I surprised her when I asked her to become my fiancée in front of the whole family. She was so moved that she accepted it. We are planning our wedding for the 23/02/2002. This is our story. So short and so rich."

"I met Jorge in 24/07/01, and we began a relationship in 4/08.

We're in love, and plan to be together forever. He was the first guy I met on the Internet. Jorge had already met other girls before. Ever since we've been together, my days have been wonderful because I'm very happy.

It had been a long time since I had liked someone the way I like him.

It all started in January of this year; we communicated only through emails, before I gave him my number and we scheduled a date."

"I had been recently divorced, when a friend from work suggested that I register at Dating Place.

I received many emails the day after registering. First I classified them by town, then by picture.

It was on a Friday, on May 19, 2000, when I received Pati's email with her number. Anyway, I called and invited her to a friend's show. I decided to pick her up at her house. When we met, something happened.

We've been well together ever since, and have children that treat each other like brothers."

I love her... I think that's how - in this summarized and sincere sentence - I can begin writing about our story. It all happened too fast.

I had been registered at the site for quite a while. I had met many people, and had started to believe I wouldn't meet someone who'd really 'shake' me. It'd been a little over a year since I had become a widow (with a small boy). I was carente, wanted to meet someone. Another obstacle was the distance factor. I live in Belem, and the majority of people I met were from the south and southeast.

Despite having many friends whom I'd met over the Internet, real friends, I was always a little awkward about trying out a "virtual" relationship. That's the stigma of Internet users lying, joking etc… I lived for my work and for my son. There was no time to go out. My only option in a lonely weekend was to search for people on the internet, chat, and who knows - just like it happened in fairy tales - I could be lucky (as lucky as someone who won the lotto) enough to find my "charming prince"...

Well, I did win the lotto (laughs)! Alexandre is the perfect match for me. I was giving up already. I had chosen a few people and sent messages to them, but nothing lasted too long... And in one of these profiles there he was. It didn't even get too much of my attention, but I decided to write him a message. I received an answer from him a couple days later, but his profile still did not match mine very well. It was not the ideal profile. I didn't answer it right away. Three weeks later - with more time on my hands - I read it again and again, and decided to give it a shot. So I asked him his number, and he gave it to me. I called, but he was busy at the time, and asked me to call a little bit later. I was upset and decided I wasn't going to call anymore. To my surprise, he called me. We spent about 4 hours on the phone. It was a great conversation. I didn't get too hyped from it, because it seemed as if I had already experienced what I thought was about to come: many phone calls, plans, and then it would be over - always long distance (from Belem to Sao Paulo).

Besides, I had already lived in Sao Paulo and didn't want to go back. Someone with a stable life in Sao Paulo would not give it all up and move to Belem either. In other words, cheering me up was no good. He sent many emails saying that he couldn't stop thinking about me, etc. I wrote him back, saying that I felt the same, but I was slowing myself down. I called him up and made a little joke, saying that he could spend the holiday at Belem. He said he would, on the first flight of the next day. I didn't believe it. I only began to believe it when I called his cell phone in the morning and heard airport-like noises from his phone. When I saw him in the departure room I felt chills in my stomach, but I was very calm and always thought to myself: "Well, we may have a couple wonderful days, but he'll go back and you can't suffer because of it, Danielle. Do not fall in love...". This thought haunted me. I took him to the hotel and we talked for a long time. I wasn't faling in love. I was already loving him.

We spent four wonderful days. On the second to last day, he said he wanted to be with me forever, and didn't care about what he had to do in order to get it done. I felt the same. We sorted a few things out. I introduced my family (including my son) to him. He went back to Sao Paulo, asked to be dismissed from a very stable job, and gave a very "bombastic" news to everyone: that he would live with me in Belem. He came to spend New Years Eve with me, and we engaged.

In January, I went to Sao Paulo in order to be there for his birthday, as well as to meet his family and friends. In order to do so, I asked to be dismissed from my work. On the way back, we came together. We rented our apartment and have been living together: He, my son, and I... We're in a crisis right now. We have been arguing almost everyday, but I'm sure we'll get through this. Adapting to a new life, obligations, and radical changes, without mentioning the fact that we're really getting to know each other now, in a relationship together... There are so many differences!

If I could go back in time, I would do it all over again because I really love him. I think these problems are rooting our relationship, which didn't have any basis before... I love him even more every day that goes by. I have reached the conclusion thatAny where, in any situation or place you may find the right person, because he/she exists. All you must do is believe in fate...

"It was a beautiful day in the month of November when I received an email that said: I like your profile. Call me! I had been alone for more than 6 months and was pretty quiet about my love life.

I accessed his profile, liked it, and decided to give it a try. We spoke to each other by phone for three long weeks.

The day we met, I felt chills in my stomach and we spoke for hours. We got along so well that we fell in love. We've been together for 5 months. We're very happy, and hope for a wonderful future together.

This is our story. We hope you like this story, and that it inspires more people."

I am Nasa18. One day, a friend of mine came to my house talking about Dating Place. He had registered at this site. In to "have some fun", I also registered at it. I really received emails from the site, containing profiles from women with similar profiles as mine. Well, one day I received an email from Dating Place, saying that they had found a profile that was 100% to mine. It was Mily's! I looked at her profile and liked it. It didn't have any pictures (so was mine at the time). I sent her an email. A week later she wrote back. We went on like this for 8 weeks, speaking on the phone for about 3 months. Without knowing what each other looked like, we talked on the phone, exchanged ideas.

The feeling of curiosity was very strong inside of us. I imagined her in a totally different way. To be frank, I was already feeling something for that mysterious voice which I had spoken to for three months. We arranged dates and nothing ever happened. Other things always came up. Once, she came to my neighborhood in order to visit her grandmother. As always, she called me and we talked for a long time, and she said she was in a certain Next Street. It was my street! That was the perfect opportunity for us to finally meet. We described the clothes we were wearing to each other, and went out to meet each other. Upon arriving to the place we had agreed to meet at, I saw a beautiful girl wearing a red shirt and a jeans skirt. I called her up on the cell phone to see if it were her, and she picked up the phone. I fell in love right away...when we realized, it was already too late and I had to leave. We decided to go to the shopping mall the next day. Upon leaving she gave me a kiss...that was the most wonderful kiss in the world...I arrived at home and kept thinking about her. In the first month of our relationship, my phone bill skyrocketed to R$ 953,76 from her phone calls alone...

We've already completed 6 months of pure happiness in our relationship.

Thanks to you, I am now with the person I have always dreamed to be with.
I love you all.

Remember: you are all invited to my wedding!

I met my boyfriend on June 11, 2001, through an email he sent me. He said I had the profile he was looking for. He received a message from Cupid and opened my profile. He lives and works in Sao Caetano do Sul, Sao Paulo. In his first email, he said he was coming to the rural area to visit his parents (who are from Paulistânia, near Bauru, Sao Paulo). We exchanged phone numbers and spoke to each other a few times. But we never exaggerated, after all we were both a bit doubtful... everything was going right. We decided to meet one day at night, here in Bauru. However, I didn't show up because I had to take care of some problems. I tried calling the next day, since I was very upset.

We spoke to each other about three days later, but he had already left town. Conclusion: we weren't able to meet personally. Not even by photo, can you believe? He was about to go on vacation, which he did, and so came once again. We spoke a few times, but I wasn't really into it. I don't think he was either. We only wished to maintain our friendship at first. We did not expect what was about to happen.

Finally, after a few failures in meeting, we met each other at the shopping mall. It was beautiful! I really liked him as soon as I saw him. We talked a lot, and at the end of the night a very special mood emerged, with lots of respect. He was going to stay here for 20 days. We saw each other almost every day. When he left, we already knew what was about to happen: we were going to date for sure. I am single, and so is he.

That's how it all happened. I registered in this site just to fool around, and look at what happened!

It all began when I was doing college work over the Internet and accidentally found Dating Place.

Since I was alone, I decided to register.

Four months later I received an email from lb1 saying that he wanted to get to know me better. I was very enthusiastic so I sent him a message.

Since then, we began to exchange messages on a daily basis. What had begun as a friendship became something more. After a month of correspondence, we finally met. After this meeting we began seeing each other every weekend...

In summary, we've been dating for three months, and I like lb1 more each day that goes by.

I'm very thankful to Dating Place for helping me find the love of my life."

"I went in to check my Yahoo email, and saw Dating Place's ad. I went in because I was curious, and decided to register at the site. I had spent quite a while not returning to the site, when I received (last year) some free days to send emails to profiles. I took the opportunity to send about 5 emails, and three profiles answered back. On January 3, marylin_li called my cell phone number and we spoke for a few minutes. She mentioned she had communicated with me through Dating Place. I finished talking to her, and went straight to her profile. When I saw her picture, it was like a nuclear explosion. I had fallen in love with her.

On January 8 she sent a message to my cell phone, asking what I would do on Saturday, January 9. I called her and invited her to go out on Saturday, which she accepted. When we met, despite the fact that I arrived a little late, we met each other and talked for a long time. I got close to her and could not resist. I gave her a kiss! It was very good! Since then, a great love was born, and grows stronger each and every day.

I hope that someday you feel what Marylin_li and I felt."

We chatted on a Friday, for the whole morning. We spoke a lot about everything, and even exchanged numbers the first time in which we chatted, but at one moment her Internet connection fell, and we weren't able to return to our conversation. As soon as this problem occurred, I sent her an email asking what had happened ... the answer didn't take long. She told me her computer had jammed, and because of this she hadn't been able to return...

At around 6 in the afternoon, my cel phone rang. It was her, telling me that she was sorry for not being able to return. We spoke to each other for about 20 minutes ... I said that maybe I would to Santos (the place where she lives), but unfortunately I was unable to do so in that weekend.

We spoke the whole week by phone and email. Then, in the holiday of November 15, I would go there, but only on Saturday, for I was going to work on Friday. We had already scheduled this by Friday.

Finally, I took a bus to Santos at 11:30am on Saturday. I arrived an hour later, and it took us a while to find each other, but it's ok.

When we met each other, we went to a shopping mall in Santos, kissed, and spent the best day of our lives!!

Since then, everything has been very fast. That Saturday was great! I fell in love with her and she fell in love with me. Everything was perfect! It couldn't have been better.

Well, all this took place on Saturday (in the 17th). I sent her an email saying that I had to ask her something (if she wanted to be my girlfriend). On Sunday night she called me, wondering about what I wanted to ask her. She insisted so much that I didn't resist to her voice, and asked her. She immediately answered "I do, I do!" Wow! I didn't have words to reply ... I couldn't make a sound ... hehe ... that was the best holiday of my life. I found the girl of my dreams. She is everything that I've always wanted, and now that I've found her she won't get away from me. We are very happy. That Saturday was the best day of our lives!!! The hard part is missing each other during the whole week, but that's nothing because we have each other.

I thank Dating Place very much!!!"

Through this system, I have been able to meet the most WONDERFUL person in the world.



Frog21 sent me a very interesting message, so interesting that I answered it right away. This brought me the happiness I feel right now!

After this first contact, he called me and we arranged to meet each other, just like it happened with the other couples. This took place in 09/11.

Since then we haven't been able to spend more than 15 days apart from each other.

Despite the fact that we live in different cities and states, we always talk through the phone, and see each other when possible. We opted that each one will travel every other weekend. I've just arrived from his city, happier and loving him more than when I went for the first time.

I can only thank this site and this system, which allowed me the opportunity of meeting him.

My friend always suggested that I registered at Dating Place.

I registered myself, and one day Jacare was online, so I decided to invite him to chat in FasTalk!!

Oh! It was a great conversation...

After a month we arranged a date, he was very romantic and caring with me. To make a long story short, he's the man every woman wants to have.

In February, it will be a year that we've been together!!! To that I thank Dating Place.

Gatti and I are from Belem. In 2000, I decided to register at Dating Place. I received and exchanged many. In the beginning of January 2001, I received Gatti's first email, saying that, by searching on Dating Place, my name was the first in the list (or the most compatible to his). There was a 100% compatibility! I answered and he really liked what I said. We kept on exchanging emails. He had already given me his phone number and his email. I still hadn't done anything about it. I had some problems in the beginning of 2001, and stopped accessing my computer. As he noticed my absence, he sent me some emails to know where I was. One of them was so beautiful. He said: "Hey! I won't give up easily. I liked you". As soon as I solved my problems, I felt very lonely and depressive, so I decided to call him. Who knows? Maybe I would get better from my depression! When I called he wasn't home, but I left my name. He wrote me an email asking if I had called. I told him I had, and gave him my number. He called me the next day. We spoke for a long time, and found out we had studied together in high school. We had been suspicious of this in our email conversations.

We had friends in common, and knew many of the same people. We scheduled two meetings, which I later on cancelled because I was nervous. I had never done this! In the third meeting, we finally met. We became very interested on one another at first site. I seemed like an extrovert over the phone, but I'm very shy. When I entered the car and realized I had liked him, I didn't make a sound, bit my nails, and turned my face away - Anyway, things shy people do. Well, making a long story short, Leo is the love of my life. We love each other very much and have made a thousand plans together. Yesterday (11/12/01) was our ninth month together, and each day that goes by ensures that my love for him becomes stronger in my heart. He's my little companion! The questions made by the Dating Place registration are incredible. I played volleyball and Leo loves the sport. Volleyball is one of the compatibilities of our registrations. It's one of the things we do together. We play a lot with his friends on our free time. Anyway I thank, above all, God, Jesus, because I've always told Leo that he is the big gift I received from Jesus.

I finally thank Dating Place for the love it brought to our lives. For having contributed to the union of two very similar people who love each other so much.

"One day I discovered Dating Place. I didn't fill out my profile information right away; I took a while. When I did fill it out, I surfed for many days, received many profiles, but none that really caught my attention.

One day, someone caught my attention and we spoke for nearly a month, and decided to meet each other. It was fatal. I can't say it was love at first sight, but things happened really fast for us.

I found out she was my soul mate. We've been together for 4 months, and already live together. We plan to marry and have children pretty soon. I never thought I was going to find such a special person (like him) through the Internet. I had already dated for a long time, but had never had such a serious relationship.

I found this site to be very cool, and recommend it to everyone. You too, can be as happy as I am being."

"It all began a little bit by accident. One day he asked to chat with me, but our conversation didn't go that well. One day he asked to speak to me again. I accepted his invitation, and we began speaking chatting. The conversation became very interesting, but I had to leave, so he gave me his number. We spoke to each other on the same day.

We spoke very little, but it was enough to notice that our story could be a successful one. Three days had gone by since our first contact, and we spoke to each other in the meanwhile. Since then, he stuck in my thought as I stuck in his. That's when we decided to meet personally.

I don't know what really happened, nor what his exact reaction was when he met me, but I liked him from the moment I saw him. Besides being a beautiful person (on the inside and on the outside), he is also a very special person. We, he asked me in a relationship, and I couldn't say no.

We are in the very beginning of our story, but odds are that everything will go very well. We both hope for that. I have an advice to all those who search for that special someone in this site: ever give up your dreams and goals. Even if it is hard to do so, it occurs when you least expect it. If you find the right person, you will certainly be much happier, just as I am with my soul mate.

Anyway, I wish good luck to everyone. Never give up until you find what you're really looking for.

A big hug to everyone,
Anja-linda."

I met Dating Place in college, as a joke among students in which they registered me. In that year, I received more than 38 messages from candidates. Among them was Astrólogo's; I became very surprised before so much sincerity. As incredible as it may seem, every time I tried opening my emails, his picture was there...I even got irritated with this, but decided to answer to the message he had sent me.

Our first meeting was beautiful, a huge shock and apparently unexplainable. Now we are together, and we're sure that it wasn't a simple date, but a reencounter of beings (body and soul). The backbone of our relationship is the mutual sincerity and an unconditional love that we have.

'Aves raras' wishing all: Good Luck!

Our story began at this site by accident at this site. We began exchanging email messages, and speaking to each other by phone. We arranged going to the movies twice, but something always came up, so one of the two couldn't go. This went on until January 17, 2001, when we were able to meet. We watched a movie and went to Urca (RJ), where we talked until 4 o' clock in the morning.

We arranged two more date, and ever since January 20, 2001, we began to be together more often. After almost two months, we decided to make it official. We're still together, and plan to marry in September 2002.

We went through many problems, but thank God we were able to get through them, with lots of love and care. We are very happy together, and have many plans for the future. We thank Dating Place for the opportunity it gave us, of finding our love.

When it has to happen, nothing can stop it. I hope lots of other couples meet at this site, and be happy, just like we are.

Hello Dating Place team,

In the first day I registered, I became interested in this girl's profile, even though it didn't have a picture. There wasn't even a 100% compatibility at first. She was the first person I sent a message to. I didn't have any hopes of receiving an answer because she was looking for someone over 26.

To my surprise, she replied and we exchanged pictures and phone numbers. We began talking, and about 10 days later I received a phone call from her, asking if I was "free" for a date. I told her that I was. Her sweet voice had enchanted me. I went to meet her, and found a surprise: she is not photogenic at all... That beautiful face which I made many compliments to (when I saw her pictures), was even more beautiful in person.

It was love at first site to both of us. About a week later we met each other again, and we began a relationship, after all we're very in love with each other. I can since I'm the happiest guy in the world, ever since February 11, 2002...

I will always be thankful to the dating services of this site. Thanks to the Dating Place team.

Hello Dating Place team,

Thanks to your site, we were able to find each other... Our story was considered to be a "CRAZY" one by many people. No wonder...

Well, this is how it went:

I, dedeka.rj, used to visit the Dating Place site not too often. I had registered by mere curiosity, and only went in when someone had written me a message. On many of those times I wouldn't even answer. When PapoDireto was introduced, I became curious and decided to give it a try. I talked to a few people, but nothing really came out of it.

In one of my night shifts (26/01/2002 - Friday), I logged in to check my messages as usual, and left. Since I have a 24hr/day Internet connection, I still appeared as being online on PapoDireto. I received a couple invitations, but declined them all... Until maverick14 called me. I even thought he had a cute face, but since I'd seen he was from Bahia, I knew nothing would happen. Even so, I decided to accept the invitation, just to loosen up a bit.

maverick14's first sentence was: "What's your recipe to happiness?". He asked that because he'd seen my pictures in the profile, and I was smiling in all of them... Well, the conversation went very well. We talked a lot.... I gave him my number (and he gave me his email address). Since it was long-distance, I knew he wouldn't call. He said he would, so I agreed to it.

The phone rang the very next moment. It was him... We talked all madrugada. He asked where I was going to spend carnival, and I told him I was going to Santa Catarina, and that I had already booked my flight in the beginning of the month. He insisted that I went to Bahia with him, but I couldn't do so (after all I was going to Santa Catarina in order to visit my sister and the plane tickets had already been bought). Finally, he hung up the phone because it was already dawn. I had to go home and he had to go to work. Mutual care remained.

I didn't work on that weekend, so I was only able to write him on Monday (28/01/2002). Unfortunately, the email came back, but I was determined to meet him again. Well, I tried finding all the mavericks (laughs). I would try to contact the one that was closest to his profile. That's when maverick14's profile appeared, and I tried contacting him on 31/01/2002... I told him that I would like to keep in touch, but that I would travel on 02/02/2002, returning only on 17/02/2002. I also told him that I was taking his phone number with me, and that if he wanted we could still talk in the daybreak of 01/02/2002 (Friday) because I would be at work.

Since I had gone out with friends before coming to work, I arrived a little late, and received the message that he had called me 4 times, so I promised myself that I would call him from Santa Catarina as soon as possible.

I arrived at Santa Catarina on 02/02/2002, and on Monday (04/02) I got a cell phone over there... I tried calling maverick14 all day on Tuesday, but was only able to speak to him at night. He was very happy with the phone call, which once again lasted until the sunrays appeared. The same occurred on February 6 and 7; many phone calls all day and all daybreak... I think any of the phone companies must have gotten very happy with the frequency and duration of our conversations. We couldn't stand the distance much longer. That's when we decided that he would come to me... I would pay his flight ticket and bus fares and he would find a way to get back... It was alright! He was game... Since Bahia is really far, he spent a whole day traveling, but arrived on Saturday morning (09/02)... Immediate attraction was mutual... We enjoyed the trip very much. It was like a honery moon...

Sao Paulo was included in my trip route but I couldn't leave him alone in Santa Catarina, so I took him with me. Since I went by plane, I arrived before. He arrived in the morning of the following day. Our trip together was still great.

I had to go back to Rio (on 16/02) because I had to go back to work on Monday (18/02)... Since I was short on cash, he stayed in Sao Paulo, at Guarujá (a friend's house who he also met at Dating Place), until I was able to bring him to Rio. We missed each other very much for two long days, for I was only able to bring him to Rio on Tuesday (19/02).

Love became a reality. We decided that we didn't want to be apart from each other anymore... On 27/02 he went back to Salvador to solve house and work issues, in order to come back to Rio to stay. I know things won't be easy, because not everyone can stand radical life changes... He didn't even know Rio, and has now come to stay. From now on, he will only go to Bahia in order to visit his relatives and friends. He arrived on Saturday (09/03). Now I know it will be forever!!! We plan to get married as soon as we settle things in Santa Catarina... Because that's where our nest of love took place! When it does happen, we will send an invitation to the Dating Place team!!!

This was, and will always be our CRAZY love and carnival story. We wish lots of HAPPINESS and SUCCESS to all those who visit this site.

"My love and I were born for each other. Now we only need someone to introduce us to each other". (Cacaso)

A picture, a woman, a landscape, a trail.....an invitation..... He wrote me.. I didn't even have time to answer. I met him at FasTalk. It was already late... The Internet dial-up connection fell, I was able to get it back on again...time to exchange emails...

Telephone, shy voices... Pictures... conversations on the Internet always extend in a wonderful manner... a few days later, the phone conversation went very smoothly, in a considerably light manner... strong syntony... ever stronger...dissolute and anarchic dialogues... We even thought of meeting each other here and there... but we decided to postpone our meetings. Who knows. Perhaps we wanted to find out wishes and affinities... and intuit certainties...

She will travel, and proposes that we meet each other only next year (2002). A mix of the desire of meeting her and ???????..... She agreed to it!!! The distance did not keep us from being closer to each other. PapoDireto, emails, long phone calls... going from dusk to dawn, seeing the day begin from my window, on the telephone.... Disorganized heart beats...

Happiness... silly giggles in the street...'ruined curtains'..... We decided to shorten our conversation and the way... We found the way, somewhere amidst the Northeast and the Southeast... Risky, isn't it? Meeting someone and already traveling with that person!!!

Instantaneous intimacy... interwoven bodies..... Well, ever since we met personally (a little over a month ago), the complicity and intensity of it all is ever greater... as is the intensity of care, will of being close to each other...we are so, very close to each other!!!

Sometimes we realize we met each other 'here' by accident... it is almost incredible because it is so good!!! That is why we have decided to write this 'open note', the two of us... it would be impossible for us not to share this with this site and with you...

I received an email from him, asking me to see his profile. He also left me his number so that I would get in touch in case I liked his profile...

I thought the profile was a bit incomplete, but decided to call. It was the day before carnival, and we met each other on the same day. It was very cool! He wanted to start a relationship right away, but I thought it would be better for the both of us to wait until carnival was over. That way, we would meet each other after carnival was over (if we were still interested in doing so)...

On Wednesday (the last day of carnival), when I arrived, he had already called. This made me very happy! We finally went out again and began dating. We're in love, and I feel we have a lot in common. I really hope that our relationship goes right. I like him a lot, and really hope he likes me the same way.

I thank the site for giving me the opportunity of meeting someone so special.

It all began in May 2001. We exchanged emails and phone numbers, and spoke to each other for the first time on May 13, 2001.

We became good friends, went out, went to bars and to the movies many times. Until then, we were just good friends. On July 14, 2001, we went to a bar we knew in Belo Horizonte, called Xico do Churrasco. We drank wine, and when we left the bar we went to his apartment. During one of our conversations I decided to kiss him. Since then, we began to experience real love.

We've completed 10 months of a happy relationship. As far as we can tell, we're perfect soul mates of each other.
