	FLYINGTYGER said Dear FriendFinder, I had used your website for about a year before moving from North Carolina to Arizona. I first only used it to find someone to chat with. I met a young lady who lived in Shanghai, China and we became pen-pals. We e-mailed each other pictures of our families, country and each other. We chatted live 1 night a week due to the time change but sent a lot of mail. It was really a lot of fun. When I moved away to Arizona due to a job change, I decided to try FriendFinder again, this time as a source for finding someone to go to movies with, bike with, etc. since I did not kow anyone. I had a few bites then decided I would take the next step and try to find a real girlfriend. I used your cupid reports and contacted several potential matches. One developed into a frquent phone call relationship that never materialized into a face to face. I then managed to meet a local girl and we e-mailed, then talked a lot on the phone, then arranged a date...which she did not bother to attend. After e-mailing a few more of the cupid matches, I decided to give up. I had listed my regular e-mail addess for contacts but did not think much about it. Soon after, I moved from my apartment to stay with my brother and packed up my computer. Eventually, he moved out and I took over the place and set my computer back up. It was EIGHT months after the time I had last logged into FriendFinder. I was going through my e-mail (which I had checked time to time from other computers) when I came across one asking me about my FriendFinder profile. I was puzzled as I had not even thought about FriendFinder for months and months. I almost deleted the message because I did not recognize the sender but something stayed my hand and I opened the message. It was from a lady whose profile I had read and responded to in a cupid report eight months past. She explained that she had only now checked in her mailbox and found my message. She stated that she realized it was a very long time ago and that I probaly was either not around any longer nor interested but she figured "what the heck?" and sent a response anyway. Lots had changed since my initial profile such as my job and where I lived but I figured "what the heck?" too and responded. She was as surprised to hear back from me as I was to first hear from her. We e-mailed each other about a week, then talked several times on the phone and continued to e-mail over the next 2 weeks or so. We arranged a date for dinner in the middle of the week after work..she showed up. We spent about 2 hours in the restaurant talking, laughing and getting to know a bit more about each other. When we parted company that night we shook hands and made plans to have another date that following Friday. We went out to dinner, miniature golfing and then sat in the car for hours just talking to each other. That was 2 years ago and we have been together ever since. In a little over 2 months on October 18, 2003, we are getting married. There is absolutely no doubt that I never would have met my fiancee without FriendFinder. She is the best thing that has happened to me and we look forward to a long and happy life full of adventure, fun and children. To anyone who might listen I say that anything is possible and you may just meet the person you are looking for on FriendFinder. I was one of those who looked at some of the success stories and pictures of newlyweds and said "Yeah, right! Like that's gonna happen to me!". Well, IT DID! Don't give up. I sent lots of e-mails and got very few back. I set up dates and was stood up. Heck, I GAVE up! But someone was watching over me and FriendFinder provided the way for me to meet the person I am going to spend the rest of my life with. I wish anyone reading this as much luck and happiness as I have found. Keep positive!. Thank you FriendFinder! Al and Julie
	nmt71 said Nmt71 and Vincent1007 want to thank friendfinder for the success they have had in dating through their site. We are planning on getting together and getting married soon. So good luck to all the other people and hope you find your soul mates here too.
	happysingleT said Dear Friendfinder, I really want to thank you... It's not a coincidence when I signed up and registered as a member. I knew this website in Sept'01. Then I started looking for friends... You sent me the list of friends that matched to my criteria. I sent them e-mail and one of them became my close and best friend for around one year. He is from far..far..way, Puerto Rico because I am from Indonesia (Asia). Our friendship became a very special relationship and our love grew more and more. In September 2002 we met for the first time in Singapore. We really fell in love and we made commitment to keep our relationship until God could unite us in a sacred marriage. Both of us are Christians, and we believe that God established our relationship. Last June 2003, we had our vacation and we got engaged. He proposed to me in front of my parents, soooooo..sweet. We'll get married this coming December 2003 in his hometown. We are working on the papers for me to be able to go to the US. After that we will stay in Hawaii, since he works in Hawaii. We never knew that we would find our soulmate through the internet, Friendfinder. We found more than a friend; a forever friend. Again, we want to thank you... And for others.."don't give up, because you might get what you are looking for in a way that you never thought of before. Just like us..... keep the spirit :) "happy couple"
	wiley1963 said Hello Friendfinder, thanks for such a great site. First some background on me, I live in the USA, in Feb. I lost my wife to cancer. So I decided to give this site a try to meet some friends, just looking for some people to talk to, nothing serious. Within a couple of weeks I was instant messaged by Caroline, a great woman from Kenya. Like I said I wasn't out looking for anything serious, but the first night we talked for 8 hours, and have been talking everyday since then, either by instant message or e-mail. Well we have discovered something very special between us, and are planning to meet on Dec. 20th. Well she is coming here, and if everything turn's out the way we think it is going to, she might stay and go to school here. We'll keep you informed on what happens. Once again thanks so much FriendFinder, a lot of us don't know what we would do without this site.
	nmt71 said Hello FriendFinder.com, I would like to thank you for the chance you gave me in getting to know my lovely man and having met him through you. It is a great feeling I have about him and we're planning on getting together in July. We have known each other for over a year now, through FriendFinder. He lives in Belgium, and I in the U.S. I'm so happy that I have met him. We have big future plans together. Vincent is a lovely sweet man. Thanks again.
	Cherry270 said My name is Amanda, and in November of 2002 I met, and became good friends with a girl named Jennifer. Jennifer and I got a long really well - we continued talking through emails, and eventually decided to exchange phone numbers. We grew alot closer - giving and recieving advice from each other as we confided in one another about our troubled relationships. My feelings for her escalated as I we continued to talk, but unfortunately, I lived in Texas, and she lived in West Virginia. Finally, in March of 2003, due to the need to better myself and "expand my horizons", I moved to West Virginia, having planned on meeting my mysterious internet friend for the first time. Well, we did, and things couldn't have been better. We're now newly engaged and plan to be married in January of 2004. We are in great debt to Friend Finder for bringing us together, because without you this couldn't have been possible. Thank you!
	gitanilla said Hi Friends ! The first time that I talked with Matt, was incredible. It was like I knew him all my life. We were talking for about 10 months when I decided to visit him in England last september. I spend the best month in my life with him. We fell in love; it was real. He went to visit me to Peru last December. And guess what? I'm married now with that man since last month. We love each other. Thank you friend finder I found my soul mate.
	mrsShaw said many years ago..... shaw17 and I were sorta brought together by fate or destiny - who knows but i'm not complaining giggles. A dear family member went missing a year or so ago and shaw17 was a good friend to her. we started working together to find her but without realizing, we formed a bond so strong. When we finally found my cuz, shaw17 and i were trying to hide our true feelings... we gathered was just a mistake.. the distance thing was way too hard to even think of getting to know each other more personally then we already had. in all the years we were friends, we never exchanged pics but deep down i knew how beautiful he was. he's the best person i could ever have become friends with.. a year passed and our friendship was soooooooo meaningful. either way our feelings crawled into our hearts and after meeting for the first time face to face, we knew it was something we had hoped. we got married on 22nd march 2003 in australia. we hope to conquere some countries to haunt our friends all over the world - heheheh smiles all i can say is: if you believe with all your heart and use your mind to be careful anything and anyone can become a friend or even life partner. never loose faith:D
	LastMtnMan said A Refreshing Discovery of Foreign Women!! So far, this site has been excellent for meeting women who live outside the US and Western Europe. I speak for myself and numerous friends who are members. FriendFinder has definitely made us aware that American men are very desirable among women of the world and I don't think we could ever "go back" to the denegrating dating situation in the US. Three of my buddies are going to Asia this summer to meet their new girlfriends and I'm heading off to Columbia. We feel like knights in shining armor riding in to sweep up our beauties in waiting!! It's been great - thank you friendfinder. Thank you. The dating scene in the US will never be the same. The Liberated Man
	TenderNo1 said One day I was looking for love, and was really convinced of meeting my dream man in this new way. After two months, I have now been active on seven different sites. I almost gave up. I had now browsed over 2000 men! Some thought I was too old, others said I was too goodlooking, or lived too far...so I tell you - it was not an easy thing to get things going. Some wrote: "Sweden, huh, I guess I can't stop by to borrow a cup of sugar!?" Or: "I was just passing by when I saw your picture that got me singing. I really want to hear a word from you." Or: "Hi Tender No1! I have never been to your country before, however I heard it is beautiful. I am sure it does not compare to the beauty of your picture. I´ve never wished I lived somewhere else until now." So I can tell all answers (together about 500), made me feel more then loved. But to find the one it says "klick" in all things, was not there 100% till I saw an picture of HIM! And I started to sing-hahaha! He was younger, goodlooking, good job, and adorable in my eays. I know he would never answer me, so why bother? But think if he does? Can I live with that, not knowing? What can I loose? So I wrote him a short note: Dear Mr. Salvador Dali...I just wonder are you looking for a girl or a woman? If you are looking for a woman, I will be more then happy to hear from you. The next day I got an answer! We started to e-mail, and now after changing pictures, and mails we are madly in love. He set my soul on fire, and we are both lost for ever. He said I am the woman of his dreams...sooo cute! And I dont know who is loving most? We are giving love like crazy. He in his way, and I in mine. Men and women are way different, ha, ha! So now after 56 days I hear every day this man telling me how much he likes me! Makes me bloom up. Today people say they have never seen me so beautiful like now! So now I know the words from the Bible tell us the truth: That there are no laws against showing love, to one and another. The more you give, the more you get back! If you and your partner decide to stick together forever, with no exeptions you will succeed. And this can only be thruth if we believe in each other's love....I know that now. "An obstacle is something you see when you take your eyes off the goal." So we went high on chemistry, passionate attraction, and felt soul connection, in this find! So now in the beginning of June we are going on our first vacation together to Cyprus for a week. (And the experts say you should not spend longer than two hours on your first date..?) But because we are living thousands of miles away, we have no other choice. I believe I found my soalmate, and in about six months we will be married. I´ll bet you! Lots of love from Tender No 1 (If you are not madly in Love, it's not Love!)
