He has swept me away like no one ever has.

In today's world, is it so uncommon to meet someone on the internet? How often does that person become your future? The gap between cities, states, and countries is no longer prevalent when the internet is involved. It fascinates me.

After a very stale, unloving, 8 month relationship, I was skeptical in dating again. I wanted "Mr. Right" to walk up to me and sweep me away, carry me off like the hero in my romance novels. After all, I believe in soul, deep love and I believe that love is out there for all of us if we can see past our own insecurities to welcome it.

So this is the beginning of my story. A story where possibilities are endless. Although time will reveal all truths, in the end I would love to say that we will "live happily ever after."

The first time I had ever signed up for a dating site, proved to me one of the best things that I have ever done. It is on this dating site, interracialsingles.net, that I met HIM, a man that intrigued me from our very first conversation.

Our first date a week later was flawless. I saw him and like his warm, inviting voice, his eyes were kind and endearing. We sat in a restaurant and sipped on our beverage, talking and sharing about ourselves until the restaurant closed. We even stayed while they started their end of night clean up. He had captivated me... I was amazed.

Saying goodbye that evening was difficult, but we stood there looking into each others eyes, wishing there were words to explain how we felt at that very moment. He leaned in and softly kissed my lips, I didn't want the moment to end.

Since our first date, we have effortlessly incorporated each other into our individual lives, spending time with each others families and enjoying time alone. We have been taking trips to places we had never been, sharing our dreams and goals, and every day falling more in love with one another.

I find myself smiling randomly throughout the day, thinking about a silly way he looked at me or something he had said that made me laugh. I close my eyes and I can feel his gentle kiss, his strong arm around my waist, and his caressing words. I find myself thinking about our future. I am amazed.

We compliment each other (not just verbally, but in who we are). We finish each others thoughts and we enjoy every moment that we spend together, whether it is 5 minutes or 4 days, it never seems like enough time. We are patient with each other, caring and understanding, and yet we are respected by each other as the individuals that we are.

Is he Mr. Right? I've never met anyone in my life that has been so right for me. He showed up and presented himself to me, took my hand, and has swept me away like no one ever has. I am ever so grateful to have been introduced to the Hero in my own love story, to the man that has won my heart.

Thank you Interracial Singles!

The brisk November evening marked the six month milestone of our romantic adventure together. He called to tell me he made dinner reservations at my favorite Italian restaurant for 7 pm. This evening was like any other evening that I spent next to him; his loving warmth wrapped around me like it had for the past six months. This would be another magical hour shared together. After dinner we took a walk underneath the light of the full moon. We held hands, talked about our day, shared our thoughts and laughed like we always do. Little did I know tonight would be different than any other night. While the evening sounds around us played a familiar tune of the California hustle and bustle, he kneeled before me on one knee. The black velvet box sat open in his hand as the shimmer of diamonds twinkled beneath the starless night. Through the nervousness and shaking in his voice, he asked me to be his wife. Instantly, both my hands caressed his face as my lips embraced his. My unspoken answer to him lie evident in that single kiss amidst tears of joy and my rapidly beating heart. I asked his three girls to be my bridesmaids and he asked my two boys to be his best men. What more could we ask for than to share a magical moment with our children, who embraced us both since the beginning of this adventure. Loving each other is like a breath of fresh air, it’s a natural occurrence. The fairytale of our love does not start or end with the proposal, the wedding, or the title. It’s our daily moments where we grow, share, evolve and intertwine our lives that enable our dreams to come true. It’s those cherished moments that will define our lifetime together; our happily ever after.

Thank you InterracialSingles.net for giving me the tool to find my soulmate.

Thank you!
