We'll go by their first names only
BOB &
LESLIE
Last February I put an ad in
Rural Singles that was very generic....it had something to do with the
fact that I lived in the one county in the whole country with more horses
per capita than any other and why couldn't I meet a man in his forties
who was single and treated horses like Monty Roberts does? Three days later
I received a very brief introduction from a man 6 hours away in Idaho,
whose 19 year old daughter had seen my ad and had encouraged him to respond.
It was just about his horses and what he looked like...I wish I had saved
all those emails....anyway...I answered right back...and just like YOU
GOT MAIL....we began corresponding once a day...then it snowballed
to a few times a day...then, two weeks later, he called and we stayed on
the phone for hours. A month later we met in a town halfway between where
we each lived and we clicked. We also met a couple who had just gotten
married after meeting on the internet 6 months earlier...and it was a Georgia/Washington
commute!!! Things progressed well until the inevitable frustrations of
long distance coupled with months of exclusive dating led to us inching
towards a committment.....Bob was scared....we broke up...it was hell..and
6 weeks later, we realized that we never wanted to lose each other and
Bobby proposed. I had heard from other men in the beginning, but Bobby
really stood heads above the others...we never would have met if it had
not been for the internet and your listings!
I'LL KEEP IN TOUCH..LESLIE
