Aaron and I met online and I was truly weary with the same old messages and infrequently checked my messages.  When I saw Aaron's message, I visited his full profile and said to myself, "he looks nice and seems he could be a great friend."  So I responded to his message out of 170 unopened messages.  It was as if the waters parted and there he was.  

We went on our first date at Applebees and they were short-staffed that evening and we just sat and talked and eventually hugged and departed to our homes.  It was nice conversation and I liked the line of conversation.

We always had the best conversations and his interests mirrored mine.  We both had a deep love for God and talked about our relationship with Him often.

THE TURNING POINT:

I had invited Aaron to church and he had just gotten off work (he worked the graveyard shift) and he was dozing on the couch while I continued to get ready.  However, as I was preparing for church, I began to have severe stomach pain that progressively became worse within the hour and I told Aaron, I might need him to drive me to the hospital ER.  He said "OK, sit down and I could hear him mumbling but it was unclear, however, I noticed that I was starting to feel a little better.  So, I asked him "Are you praying for me?" and he said "YES, of course." .... I was shocked!

  He prayed 15 more min straight and suddenly all the pain was gone.  It was a miracle but more than that, of all the men I have dated, he was the first to pray for me without me asking and prayed effectively!

I was IMPRESSED and SMITTEN! I always loved the way he would hold my hand and comfort me when I was stressed.  Deep down, I just knew, He was the one.

When I first saw Theresa's profile online along with her picture, I was impressed with her committment to God and her overall beauty, but what really got to me was her intelligence and her educational background.  I felt like we had shared similar journeys and I had prayed for a woman/wife to have these same characteristics. 

When I first met her, I saw that her pictures did not do her justice, she was beautiful and I felt inadequate.  However, the more we talked, I felt more comfortable and that I could talk to her about anything.  In my mind, I was asking can this be true?  So, we went to Applebees and I was looking forward to it.  They were so busy and the waitress barely came to serve us and we only had ice water drinks and finally elected to leave.   I gave her a hug before we separated and deep inside I felt this would be our first and last date because I didnt think I could possibly pull this off.

Suprisingly, she told me she enjoyed our conversations and eventually she came to visit me and that's when I knew that something was brewing.  She found comfort in my conversation and she began to become more relaxed and we both began to open up to one another.

TURNING POINT

One night, I had been at work for an hour or so and she called me to ask if she could have a hug and I told her "of course."  The feeling that she needed me made me feel like a million bucks.  All I ever wanted to do with her from that day forward was comfort her and make her better in every way that I could.  Because, that's the way she always made me feel.   That's how I knew!
