Online dating has captured the hearts of many people. People, who were at a loss for making friends, looking for prospective candidates for marriage and just flirting in general, now have a great avenue to do all of these. In the past, online dating sites were not so advanced and were not aware of their client's dispositions. But now, they have tightened up the security and made the sites free from any sort of fees. This has led to a great influx of visitors who are seriously interested in online dating.

Let me recount the story of Bill. He was a rather shy individual for whom books were the sole companion. He loved reading all kinds of books, including suspense and romantic ones. He nurtured a secret dream that he too would get his ideal woman as his partner. One day, he was led to an online dating site by his friend, Bert. Bert explained everything to Bill and urged him to get charged up. But Bill was shaking inside. He did not want to indulge in this form of almost blind dating, lest he be duped. But Bert was not prepared to take ?no? for an answer and literally forced Bill to sign up.

After the deed was done, Bert left him alone and went on his date. He was spending the evening with a stunner he had met at a hotel. Bill mustered all his courage and searched for the girl of his dreams. None of the girls suited his taste. At last he came across Mary Ann. She had written that she too was a shy girl and very fond of books. Bill saw the photograph in the online dating site and was very happy. A simple face smiled back at him. He was sure that Mary Ann would be the perfect friend for him.

He wrote her a message saying that he would like to befriend her. He updated his profile which was quite similar to Mary Ann. He hesitated before adding his photograph but posted it just the same. When he returned the next night, there was a reply from her. She seemed eager to befriend Bill. Bill thanked the online dating site and wrote back a message to Mary Ann, this time writing a little more about his likes and dislikes. She replied back with anecdotes on her life. Both of them were quite similar in their dispositions.

Bill seemed to hit it off with Mary Ann. After conversing a little more on the online dating site, they decided to meet. Both were happy to discover that they complemented each other perfectly. After a few months of dating, they tied the knot. Everyone who knew them was very glad. They had left all hope that either of Bill or Mary Ann could find a suitable partner. And alls well that ends well. Bill and Mary Ann are now happily married and expecting a little one to complete the family. Thanks to online dating Bill and Mary Ann have written a success story.
