I am him. I can unequivocally state that my search paid off for myself. Through detailed introspection, I was able to approximate that I had over the last eight years reviewed nearly 100,000 unique profiles. I had and was willing to look at profiles internationally. I had met and gone out with some pleasant and sometime very interesting people over the years. I understand that many members’ priorities may differ radically from that of myself. Nevertheless, I knew in my soul that I could find the one for me. I was not looking for a playmate but a life partner. (You know….. until I die type of thing) I can’t tell you how many times over the years that I have been in tears thinking that I would not find that special one for me. There has been definitely a couple of times when I have given up hope completely, only to get back in the saddle again. As for my profile, I was as true to myself as possible of what I looking for in a relationship, as well as, what I was looking for in a partner, with zero BS. I know that with a previous partner I was ecstatic if we were compatible in 9 out of 10 things. In our case, it’s 999 out of 1000 if not higher. Our vanilla and D&S relationship is constantly, dynamic and ever-changing, but when viewed from a third person perspective truly unified, as in a Lava lamp. I had not responded to her profile because she was very adamant about long distance relationships, as stated in her profile. So I simple placed her in my favorites list. Knowing to myself that if the chemistry is truly right the 300 miles would be meaningless. All I wanted was a conversation just to see if their was any possibility, and not to disregard me, simply for the fact that I was not local. It can happen; we have both put forth an enormous amount of time and effort prior to our meeting. We have stood by our standards and were not willing to compromise when coming to our partners. I am in my 40’s and have never been engaged or married, because I am not willing to settle. I am so glad that this chapter of my life is in the past, and I am looking forward to this new chapter with Eden. I just want to say that anything is possible, through perseverance, intelligence, and a little luck. Dragonflyredux
