I'd be more than happy to share our story with you. I wasn't going to sign-up on for positive singles at the time I did. I was in-between jobs (just relocated to the Bay Area), so the timing certainly wasn't the best, but I felt that "you never know" (hence the screen name), so I did.

My boyfriend, Raul, was the first and only person I e-mailed on your site. His profile said much of what mine did in regards to our take on life, HIV, and relationships. As I tell him, I was "drawn" towards it somehow. The words he used was part of it, but that little voice inside me told me to go for it. Both of us wanted to be "wowed" by our next love...and we wanted it to be something that many only dream about or consider unattainable. We wanted to reach a higher level that ever previously experienced. We wanted to find "the one," our "soul mate." Raul actually thought his account had been taken down some two years ago (glad he was wrong) so my e-mail came as a surprise to him. H... Vollständige Geschichte lesen>>

Both of us wanted to be "wowed" by our next love...and we wanted it to be something that many only dream about or consider unattainable. We wanted to reach a higher level that ever previously experienced. We wanted to find "the one," our "soul mate." Raul actually thought his account had been taken down some two years ago (glad he was wrong) so my e-mail came as a surprise to him. He didn't "not want to not" respond to mine, so he did. He said that he had made plans to take 9 months off from dating altogether but said that perhaps a friendship might develop.

After a series of very long but wonderful e-mails back and forth over the course of several weeks, we decided to start chatting on-line. It was clear that more than a friendship was developing. We shared photos, videos, sound files, and after a few phone calls, realized we were falling for one another even though we hadn't yet met in person. After approximately 2 months after the first e-mail, Raul was flying down to L.A. to visit his family and get their opinions of those that matter to him most (mom, sister, best friend) regarding the person (me!) who seemed bent on making him change the whole idea of taking and time off whatsoever. He planned on focusing on every other aspect of life for 9 months other than dating. I was happy to ruin those plans, per se.

As did I, he felt he may have met "the one." He decided to fly me down to meet his family and best friend as well the same weekend he had already planned on going. He booked me a hotel room near LAX, figuring we could meet (again...for the first time in person!) at which time we could make an "adult decision" as to what to do that evening and for the rest of the weekend (so....no pressures).

Well....love at first site. Meeting each other in person only served to validate the feelings that had grown for one another over the two or so months leading to that moment. It was an absolutely surreal experience....meeting someone I had already been falling in love with...in person for the very first time. He did stay with me that night at the hotel room, and well...MAGIC (I'll leave it at that as we felt like a couple of gitty schoolboys). Everything...just as when on-line, was natural, effortless....wonderful.

Wow. So, I met his family and best friend in LA. My parents drove up and met us for brunch the next day. The in-laws loved the new additions to the family....a very good sign as we both value our families dearly. We had very little "alone time" that weekend, but we managed to squeeze in a few private moments at the beach right before my flight back home (he was to stay an additional day to spend with his mother as he had booked his trip before there was the plan for us to meet that weekend). As the sun set, we chatted about the feeling each of us had, and tied friendship anklets around each other's ankles, each making a wish while doing so. It was the most simple yet mind-blowing romantic evenings of my life. While we had not yet said "I love you" to each other....the feelings were clearly there. Since we had so little one-on-one time that weekend and simply could not wait to see one anther again, we spent the following weekend together. Unfortunately he had moved an hour away prior to our meeting on-line, or I doubt we could have let a week go without seeing one another again.

We did our usual chatting on-line, on the phone, and texting as we counted down the days until it became hours for our second in-person meeting. That Friday night, while sharing some intimate moments with each other, we said what we had already known to one another, "I love you." It was whole, sincere, honest, true "I love you" each of us has experienced (we've both had several long-term relationships....all paling in comparison should we dare try). You asked about marriage? It's something I've always dreamed of and for the first time, see as likely. As far as Raul goes, he said with his wish upon giving me the friendship anklet is that when it eventually falls off (which means your wish is then suppose to come true), he wants to marry me. Ok....I'd continue with the story...but my happy tears right now are streaming down my cheek and I'm at work!

As you can see....here's our happy beginning. I can't say, "ending," as I believe so much more is ahead for the both of us. Thank you so much for enabling to meet this most extraordinarily person. I absolutely love and adore him and will be forever grateful for him being in my life.

Thank you for this site..it has really changed me and my outlook on life and love.  (Dating)

My match and I corresponded for about a month via email, text message, and phone chat regularly. I currently reside in Plattsburgh NY so we decided to take the leap of faith and have him fly directly to my residence. It was almost like going on a blind date when picking him up at the airport. I was feeling nervous, anxious, excited, and hopeful all at the same time! From the moment I saw him I knew that my search had come to an end. We spent a wonderful weekend with one another and saying goodbye turned out to be the last thing we wanted to do. We have mutually decided that we would leave the site because we have found what we were looking for. We are learning how to cope with being 12 hours away but it is working out very well thus far! We plan to see each other as much as possible and have discussed my plans when graduating in may. We plan to move to the same place whether it be here or there. To me it doesn't matter because he is so worth it! People may think I'm crazy for feeling t... Vollständige Geschichte lesen>>

I have never been happier and I'm already counting down the days until we meet again. We have so much in common..he is my breath of fresh air!

This is the best relationship I've ever had  (Verlobt)

He had "favorite" some other women, but emailed me as soon as he saw my profile. I was the first person he emailed. He was the first person I wanted to meet. I have never limited my dating to others with my condition, but it was so nice to meet someone who understood without having to have "the talk".

We talked on the phone after several email exchanges, and found out that we have many more important things in common. We went to dinner, and have been together ever since. This is the best relationship I've ever had. We are getting married next Fall.
