Kellie,
Count me as someone who got the life I wanted from match.com. I know it sounds really lame, but I went through a really bad divorce, and felt sorry for myself. I couldn't stand bars, meeting someone, or dating in general, but I was tired of the "Poor Kim, let's fix her up with someone", so I did this, telling no one.
I met the love of my life on this site, someone I am completely myself with. We married in November, and had my baby girl in June. Now, I am the happiest person in the world.
And this came from a skeptic.
One piece of advice. "You MUST be honest about who you are, and what you want". My hubby and I both were, even taking the chance of scaring people off. Now we are both ourselves and loved. It's amazing! : )
Best of luck to you!
Kimberly
