I also met H thru an online dating site, back when it was just starting to become a bit more popular. I've known him 22 years, and we've been married for 20 years, 21 coming up in August. I also had to go through a few dud dates before meeting H, but I got very lucky! I actually almost deleted his initial message to me then came back and read it a couple weeks later, thought he sounded smart and interesting. We talked on the phone a lot before meeting up at a restaurant where thankfully he looked just like his profile picture and was very sweet and easy to talk to right from the start.
