Living in Ohio, it was my birthday in November of 2005 when I came across the website. I had been separated from my husband for quite some time and was awaiting the finalization of my divorce within the week. I hadn't been doing much dating, but was looking forward to leaving the past behind and starting a new life.
A week into my membership, I responded to a simple message from a man living in Florida. Two days later, we began a conversation online that lasted about 3 hrs. He had just come out of a serious long term relationship and like me, was ready to start over. There was immediate chemistry. After several hours of conversation, all that was left to say, was "Wow". There's was an obvious connection, neither of us could ignore. Our conversation migrated to the telephone, where we continued to tell our life stories until it was time to go to work the next morning. This was a Tuesday morning, and as I went through my day at work, I could hardly concentrate on anyt...

A week into my membership, I responded to a simple message from a man living in Florida. Two days later, we began a conversation online that lasted about 3 hrs. He had just come out of a serious long term relationship and like me, was ready to start over. There was immediate chemistry. After several hours of conversation, all that was left to say, was "Wow". There's was an obvious connection, neither of us could ignore. Our conversation migrated to the telephone, where we continued to tell our life stories until it was time to go to work the next morning. This was a Tuesday morning, and as I went through my day at work, I could hardly concentrate on anything but him. The moment my work day ended, we picked up where we left off and continued talking all night until I fell asleep during the conversation around midnight. Having had no sleep since this all began, it was inevitable. It was now late Wednesday morning, and I had overslept. I missed work that day. I used the time to ponder on where this could lead. He was a man unlike another other that I had met. Far better than I assumed I would ever find. But his life was in Florida, mine in Ohio. Would we fly back and forth?, Would we just ended up breaking it off because of the distance? I began to realize that there is only one way to determine whether or not this is as true as we feel it is. He was born and raised in Florida and had no desire to leave. Me, on the other hand, was looking for an excuse to skip town. The more I thought about it, the more sense it made. All I had to do was pack and leave. I took the remainder of the day to say goodbye to my job, and try to convince my family I knew what I was doing.
There were mixed reviews, but I was a determined woman. Thursday was Thanksgiving. I spent the day with my family and left that night with my clothes and my dog. 13 1/2 hours later, on Friday morning, I was in Florida. The next few days was better than the first and everyday thereafter, just got better. Next month, will be 2 years. I built a brand new life in another part of the country with a man I couldn't go on without. To get big rewards, you have to take big risks. I sure did, and I couldn't be happier.
I joined PS with low expectations in terms of love and romance; NZ has a small population spread out over a huge area, and it would be unlikely to find more than companionship. I live in a very remote area - where EVERYbody knows everybody, no casual dating here! - and sure enough there were few on PS of age/region/personal compatibility. Actually, only one....................
So we corresponded for a while, but my marital situation was not finalised, so I pulled out. But then felt more final so reconnected briefly - and then, in confusion, said a final farewell to what was clearly a very good and decent PS lady. Hey, welcome to the Real Modern World of confused relationships...................
Eventually I pulled myself together and set Jan 1st 2012 as the First Day of my new life alone. I was honest to my ex that I would then move on - I may have Messaged, but I never Met, while the marital relationship was working its way out.

So, as a single guy, I rejoined PS and just sort of checked, had a sneaky peak: YEP, she was still there! So I said straightforwardly that I had been where I was, but was now single, we had done enough messages - did she want to meet? Sure \I knew she was a kind person; but after all my confusion (in which I had at least been honest), I was amazed that she agreed immediately.
We met in a park. Her hometown is 4 hrs from me (heck, I live 3 hours from a roundabout or traffic light!), so I parked my motorhome. It was a gloriously sunny day, I was early, took the dogs for a stroll. I was pleased to meet & chat to someone from PS, but had no nerves or excitement, as I had no expectations - I had been attracted by her kind words more than by her picture. So when a car pulled up next to my motorhome and an elegant slim blonde stepped out, I thought "Damn, I wish the girl I was meeting looked like that!!"
Then she called my name. Wow! OMG! Sunlight glinting through her blonde hair, red summer dress, warm welcoming smile.......
Well, you think we two, both over 50, should be smart enough to know better, and to take our time sensibly. Sorry to disappoint you folks, but We Knew. We knew within hours, if not minutes (she says that she knew instantly). Since then, only two months ago, she has downsized her job to spend more time with me (I am a pretty free agent), so living apart is an asset not a hindrance - I spend 4 nights a fortnight in the big city with her (theatres & live music) , she spends four nights a fortnight in my country home (horses & motorbikes).
So we have three nights a week apart, but talk, text and email all day; and can see our friends and do our own thing - she goes to Meditation and I go hunting hahahahaha! I never said we were exactly alike! But we get on like a house on fire, love each other to bits, will be living fultime in the country within two years and.......what was that? marriage? I have learnt my lesson: in Life, you never know; for sure I have an open mind.
So thanks, PS, two lonely people with fractured lives - are now living a wonderful, full, happy life together.
Jay and I started emailing back and forth in October 2011. We exchanged phone numbers about a week later and we have been inseparable ever since!
It is a long-distance relationship (I live in Los Angeles and he lives in Alaska) so we mainly communicate via FaceTime. He is 3000 miles away but we can see each other everyday, thanks to technology.
We finally met last week. He flew from Alaska to visit me and it was so great getting to hold him and kiss him for the first time. He was well worth the wait. And we just booked another trip for next month. We will eventually move closer to each other as early as the end of this year (yes, I'm planning on making the big move to Alaska!). We have not discussed marriage and/or kids just yet, but he is the only person that I've ever pictured a future with :-)
We are completely head over heels in love with each other and the ONLY reason we met was because of this website. Your site made me feel so much better abou...

We are completely head over heels in love with each other and the ONLY reason we met was because of this website. Your site made me feel so much better about myself. After learning about my condition, I honestly felt like my life was over. I came across PositiveSingles and read all the personal stories and found that there are regular people, just like me, who are dealing with the same situation. I found the love of my life all because of my condition and your website. It's funny how life works out sometimes. I wish everyone the best!
Advice to other members:
My advice is to keep an open mind. I almost ignored Jay's "wink" to mebecause I saw his location and thought to myself, "What on earth would I have in common with someone from Alaska?!" I took a second look at his profile and it turned out we had a TON in common...we're from the same hometown, we both LOVE chocolate, and we were both diagnosed with the same condition.
My second piece of advice is to ask questions and keep the conversation going in your emails. A one-word reply probably won't keep the attention of the person you're talking to.
I love your site and I think it is wonderful. I love that I, as a free member was still able to communicate via email with other members who emailed me.
I am not leaving because I am dissatisfied, I am deleting my account because I have found the most amazing man on here. He is truly the man of my dreams and I feel we have so much potential. Our relationship is still very new but we have already had a lot of those big conversations. We live very far apart, but he will be traveling to meet my family in Tennessee in June and I will be going out to California in July to spend one of our favorite holidays together, Independence Day. :) I am looking forward to where this relationship is going and if it progresses all the way to
marriage we both agreed that we would love to share our story on here. It is especially important for people in our situations to see that not only is all hope not lost, but sometimes something that can seem so horrible like herpes did for us, a...

marriage we both agreed that we would love to share our story on here. It is especially important for people in our situations to see that not only is all hope not lost, but sometimes something that can seem so horrible like herpes did for us, actually openned the biggest door of all. Had neither of us become infected we may never have met and I'd still be looking for my soul mate. Thank you very much for your services, you have changed my life.
Congratulations! We are so pleased that you met someone wonderful here, and we'd love to hear any kind of successful experiences. You are living proof our site works.
