We have spent a lot of time together

I did not do a of IMing with people and usually turned people down when they asked but when but when Maosi asked if I wanted to IM, Outdoor_Diva said yes. Two hours later we ended the conversation. This went on for several nights before we decided to talk on the phone. Our phone conversation were just as long and as fun. Our IM, Text, phone conversation went on for the next month as I travel to and from Alaska. Maosi and I met shortly upon my return (the night I got back) and have spent a lot of time together doing a variety of things...playing basketball, hiking, cooking (he cooks not me), traveling and most importantly getting to know one another. Six months later we have decided to get married in another six months. Time is something we do have!

It's just a flirt

After being single for almost 8 years, and my husband for 6 years, little did we know that we would be married this year. My husband had contacted me about 2 years ago, sending me a flirt. In return, I sent him a flirt. This went on for a couple of weeks with just flirts as he wasn't a member. After a couple of weeks of flirting we both went our own ways and started dating other people.

Last year, he contacted me again with another flirt and I again, sent him one just for fun. I wasn't planning on dating anymore having had enough but thought, what the heck, it is only a flirt and nothing would come of it just like before. Fortunately for us, that wasn't the case and we finally made contact with each other late one night.

I was still adamant about not dating, but he was persistent for a couple of weeks trying to get me to meet him for dinner. I finally agreed to meet for dinner and we had such a great time. Actually at dinner, he realized that we knew each other from when we were in our early 20's, but didn't tell me and I didn't realize it.

A week and a half went by before he contacted me again to ask me out, and I accepted. After the second date, we were pretty much inseparable. If we weren't together, we were texting each other, always wanting to be in contact with one another, talking and flirting.

Even though he figured it out about us knowing each other before, he made it his little secret, and would just say things that would remind me of when I was young and single. I thought it was strange that he knew so much and after about 2 weeks it finally clicked with me. Once it did, we had so much fun reminiscing about those times of when we used to flirt with each other, dance together at the singles dances, and hang out together. He even attended the parties I used to have at my house for the singles. We wondered for quite sometime why we never dated back than, but realized that it wasn't the right time for us. July 21, 2007, the timing was right and it was well worth the wait.

Mingle was the tool that reconnected us after 15 years and we are so thankful.

Good luck to all and thanks Mingle!

IT WAS DESTINY

Mont (Gentlewind) and I (sirenarose) first met in February of this year when I spotted his profile on your website. I really liked what he wrote in his profile because he was looking for the same thing I was. Then I clicked onto
his photos. I was pretty impressed with his words but pleasantly surprised that he was so handsome as well. What a bonus!
We both live in Utah but he's in St. George and I'm in Layton which is 4-5 hours away so I didn't think it would develop into anything serious because he was a bit far away.
I sent him a smile anyway and he responded with an email. We began a long-distance relationship via your website. Shortly after that, I gave him
my phone number and we spoke daily for a couple of weeks. Then he decided it was time for him to come up and meet in person. He came and stayed in a hotel near my home. We spent a wonderful weekend together. It didn't take us long to realize that there was something very unique and special between us. Not to mention the chemistry. It was amazing! For me, it was a feeling that I knew him all my life, perhaps longer! He took a bit longer to come around,
but later realized that he was in denial of what was happening.
We began seeing each other once a month, then every three weeks, then every other week. Now, we are hardly apart longer than a week at a time. I go to St. George for two weeks, then he brings me home and stays with me for as
long as he is able, usually 3-4 days at a time.
We have now made a mutual decision to become exclusive and are currently making plans to be married. We've started looking for a place for me to rent in St. George because we are finding it very difficult to be apart now. I
hope to be relocated before winter hits. Our goal is to be married within a year.
We've been through a lot together in the short time we've known each other, and have developed a strong bond. Our only regret is that we didn't meet a lot sooner. We have both come to understand that this relationship of ours
was truly meant to be. In seven months, we've developed what it takes most couples many years to develop.
My family loves him and his family feels the same about me. My grandchildren absolutely adore him. So we're confident that the transition of coupling our families together will work out wonderfully. I have never met anyone who is
so much like me and understands me the way he does. And I know and understand him the same way. We both agree that our special relationship
will be everlasting.
We would like to thank LDSMingle for providing us with the opportunity to meet. I believe somehow we would have met anyway, but your website made it
much easier!

***Updated 7/14/08***
We were married on June 4th. We had a nice, quiet little ceremony here at our home in St. George. Then we went to Northern California for a nice honeymoon of fun and relaxation.

Life is wonderful now. Mont and I are so grateful for your website and how it brought us together. The funny thing is that Mont never took "website dating" serious. He just thought it would be fun entertainment while he looked forward to meeting "the love of his life" in the traditional manner.
He laughed when I pointed out that he did in fact meet the love of his life on your website. So now I have something to always tease him about.
Our hope is that many others out there, will be able to find someone special on your website, as we did. We don't doubt it though, because we both met some very wonderful and special people along the way.

Poor guy had his work cut out for him!

I want to start with that it took me about five years to find my husband. It wasn't easy being patient, but it paid off. There are a lot of people who want the quick fixes. Mine wasn't and if I had to do it again I wouldn't change the waiting. I learned so much from other members. I still am in touch with friends that I met through the boards.

My husband (user name donalds) pursued me. I was reluctant to find someone. I had actually made the decision to not date anymore, but make friends until the children were older. I had decided to only look for guys closer to home as I could actually see them more often and could get to know them and meet people who knew them personally. I wasn't taking this lightly.

Don had tried to chat with me on many occasions, but I was distant and kept it pretty cool. I really wanted to take my time getting to know someone. We both chose to date people who lived closer...distance wasn't an option...we had both been there and seen the pitfalls in dating someone who lived a plane flight or a long drive away.

What is so funny is that we had both been to a Singles New Years dinner and dance and didn't even see each other. Don was persistant...he didn't let my coolness stop him. After a while, I decided since I knew someone who lived where he did...I would call this friend who I knew would be honest about someone I was interested in. He told me he was a good guy. I believe because of this friend's honesty...I decided to date Don. Don and I went out for lunch on a break from work...from then on we spent every hour we could together. We became of the best of friends and still are the best of friends.

I have not been disappointed in my decision. He is a great husband and father. He doesn't take me for granted. I'm not saying it's a fairytale...because I don't believe in Happily Ever Afters...to me that is not realistic...What I believe is in my marriage where two people work at making a Happily Ever After.

Thanks Sara for your site and making it available. I truly believe it is one of the best single sites for LDS people that I have been a member of. I recommend it to single members all the time. I have met many wonderful friends and say to those still looking...don't give up hope. I believe there is someone for everyone. Look at it like a treasure hunt...don't stop until you find the treasure. The most important thing is to have patience and not to lose hope. Enjoy the journey and enjoy the friendships you make. Also, I know it's a single site and we are looking for our perfect match...if you have opportunties to make a friend...be one. Thanks to the friends I met on LDS Mingle, I was able to endure some pretty rough times because of them and they have said the same in return.

Sincerely,

Christine (Chritine)

Happy and in love!

My fiancé (user name "Maurits") and I (user name "travelbabe") found love on the LDS mingle website! Maurits showed up as one of my matches and after checking out his profile I decided to send him a smile. He responded to my smile with a polite note saying that he was focusing on another lady at the time but otherwise he would be interested. Well, less than a week later he decided things were not going as he would like with the other lady so he sent me an e-mail to see if I was still interested. We e-mailed, talked on the phone and met for lunch the next week. It's been wonderful ever since! We got engaged in Holland (his native country) while on vacation a couple of months after dating and now we are getting married at the end of September in the Bountiful Temple. I was on the website for about a year before meeting Maurits so it took some persistance but I'm happy to say it was all worth it!

Happy and in love!
