Amanda had much doubt about using online dating services, and a lack of trust in men following her difficult divorce, so there was no way she expected to find love on the Net!

But she thought to herself it was worth a try, and in particular she chose www.venusdating.com to see if she could find anyone remotely similar to her. Initially, it was a bit of fun and she thought why not!

Within a few days Amanda had sent out 3 emails to other dating members who she thought she was compatible with. She received replies to all of them. However, one in particular from someone called Alan seemed so genuine. Within a few more days they had swapped over 10 emails - some quite long. This soon led to phone calls - they were calling each once or twice per day sharing their daily gossip.

Eventually they agreed to meet. Although they seemed an unlikely couple, with Alan being six foot tall and Amanda five foot, once they met there was no separating them even though the distance between them was hundreds of miles - Alan lived in North Wales while Amanda was from Scotland.

They soon began meeting during the week and weekends and it wasn't too long before they felt themselves falling in love with plans to live together in the near future!

This came all after Amanda's difficult divorce and skepticism of internet dating dating web-sites!
