Michael & Nancy

When I contacted Mike, I was at the end of my membership time and decided to give it one last shot!  I sent out about 20-30 requests over a weeks time and the day I searched through the “M” section of the members, I had forgotten to enter an age range. 

The normal age range search was five years younger and five years older than me.  I spotted Mike’s profile and we seemed to have many interests in common and he seemed very nice, so I requested to meet him.  After going through a few more members, I realized there were members on the results that were outside my age range, which is when I realized my error.  Mike is actually ten years older than me, but he’s so active and acts younger than many guys my age, so I think it was fate that I didn’t enter the age range that day.  We met for drinks and then the next day he emailed me to invite me for dinner and a movie that weekend.

We had so much in common, including the fact that we belonged to two of the same motorcycle groups, but we just hadn’t met yet, and he lived about two miles from where I work.  He got me back on my bicycle and I got him started rock climbing and took him on a number of hikes including a backpacking trip to Havasupai last May.  We’ve had a wonderful year together and are now making arrangements to move in together!
