Henry & Cindy

I selected Henry from the Great Expectations website in September, 2008 but to my chagrin it took him nearly three months to get back to me. I wrote him back and said “Well, it’s about time you got off the fence and wrote back!”  (which he has since told me that took him aback yet intrigued him before we met).

Our first date was at a restaurant that Henry couldn’t find for nearly an hour and a half; by the time he finally got there my one year old grandson had eaten all off Herk’s calamari and had been entertaining the other restaurant patrons by throwing the bread all over the floor… followed by the bread basket itself!

Perhaps it was due to the unusual tone of the date that made him want another but I knew he was special when I-out of frustration- asked him to hold my grandson for a minute while I got the bread off the floor and got my coat on- he had such a caring and patient look on his face and was so gentle towards my very active boy- I knew he was a keeper.

We have been together now for a year and a half and I expect will be together for the next thirty years!!! We are getting married February 12, 2011 in Puerto Vallarta Mexico.

You need to tell people who join Great Expectations not to lose hope- I dated three guys from there and they were all great guys just not for me. I am grateful for Great Expectations- I never thought of using a service like that and my friends thought I was crazy but… I now know that it was a God-thing for sure!
