I have a brother who married a girl he met online. They are in their 9th year of marriage, pregnant with their 4th. And I have a good friend who met her husband online. THAT's a kinda crazy story - but it's about how she became my friend thing, not so much about her internet-marriage. So, I would love to read your book! Hope I get a chance...Loralee and the gang...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07203655646949305050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473451605323410957.post-71633060224787724852011-03-11T16:35:41.246-08:002011-03-11T16:35:41.246-08:00Melanie!

It's one of my favorites because apparently he had long hair at the time. <br /><br />I haven't read your blog, I don't think I even knew you had one, but what a perfect day to start. I loved reading about your experiences and about your love. Kenny sounds incredible.<br /><br />Melanie, we are the same age, but reading about this small part of your life I get the feeling that I am watching you grow up! I just want to jump through the computer and give you a great big hug and tell you how proud I am of you!

Besides it's hard to explain a relationship between people from two different countries *without* involving the internet. I love finding out that someone else met online.Helhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12024471761531493995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473451605323410957.post-5534000104404517882011-03-10T20:05:58.072-08:002011-03-10T20:05:58.072-08:00This blog post makes me see your manuscript in a w...This blog post makes me see your manuscript in a whole other light!

I was trying to finish off a Uni degree so I didn't have time to date. I met my soul-mate without even trying.I lived in Australia, he lived in California. We were able to cut through the rubbish without all the other hang-ups about dating.How many other dates could you go on with face cream on your face sitting in your PJs, laugh, talk and just be you? This was 13 years ago. We fell in love, married and have had 3 more children. How many other women can say; their soul-mate travel half-way around the world to be with them?Sally Darrington- Diashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558096040102506644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473451605323410957.post-22906002685418329952011-03-10T15:17:18.362-08:002011-03-10T15:17:18.362-08:00My sister, at age 31, decided to do a '31 date...My sister, at age 31, decided to do a '31 dates in 31 days' where her friends and family set her up on a date each day for 31 days and she blogged about it. <br /><br />(Basically she started her own online dating site where she was the only girl the boys could date. Brilliant!) <br /><br />Through good old-fashioned fate (and my blog) she met Josh, date #31. They're getting married on Saturday. <br /><br />I can't wait to read your book.
