Dear Elena, Success Story! Thank you so much for the service you provide. I have been a member since November 2011 and always read the testimonials with delight and just a twinge of envy. When was it going to be my turn to find the love of my life? Well, my turn finally came on April 18,2013. That’s the day I received an email from Ekaterina from St. Petersburg. She read my profile and liked what I wrote. She stated in her email that she felt we would be a good match. I checked out her profile, and was blown away by how beautiful she was. She also appeared very well educated, and well traveled, having lived in the US for 8 years. I wrote back immediately and asked her why she felt we would be a good match. During my haste in replying I spelt her name wrong. OMG!! I wrote a second email apologizing for the first one. Luckily (as I would later find out) she is a sweet heart, forgave me, and said I should call her Katia. We found out we had a lot in common during the first few emails and agreed to Skype on April 24th. During the first few seconds of that Skype call I was amazed by how happy, and friendly she was. She could barely keep still and her laugh was infectious. Then her 3 year old daughter, who had been asleep, woke up and joined Katia. The way Katia spoke to her daughter with so much love and affection, yet still kept her attention on me was amazing. For me, it was love at first sight, an intense feeling of joy overwhelmed me and I remember thinking “I need to have this beautiful woman and her child in my life.” After a couple more phone calls and Skype dates we agreed to meet in Los Angeles on June 22nd. During the month before we met we grew very close sometimes spending up to 4 hours a day talking to each other so by the time we met, we knew we were soul mates. On June 22, I drove to LAX and met Katia with a dozen pink roses. I was so nervous, but as soon as I saw her all nervousness went away, replaced by giddy excitement. Katia later said I was jumping up and down with joy. I have no idea what I was doing; the entire experience was like a dream. Katia greeted me with a kiss and as I led her by the hand to my car she stopped me and we kissed again. As soon as we got to my home, I sat her down on the couch and told her what I been waiting to tell her for the past two months. That I was madly in love with her. Katia beamed in delight. The rest of the week went perfectly, and we even managed a romantic two day road trip to Vegas. When it was time for Katia to fly back to St. Petersburg we both knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. So Katia’s return to Russia will be very brief, just short enough to quit her job, get the blessing from her family, pick up her cute daughter and move in with me in three weeks. We plan on getting married later this year. Katia (Russia) & Chris (USA)
