A match made online Dave was living in Wilmington and I lived on the beautiful Crystal Coast. We had both been married before and were living alone. We dreamed of finding someone special to share the rest of our lives with. We had heard about Match.com and how you could read a person’s profile and view their picture on the Internet. You could send e-mail and arrange a time to meet. We were both skeptical at first. For me, it was a little scary. I prayed about it and decided it was worth a try. We each tried meeting other people in public places. None were our type. I was looking for someone who loved God as much as I do. One day I was scrolling through the profiles with my grandson on my lap. He picked out Dave’s picture and said, “Grandma, that’s the one you need to go out with.” I said, “O.K. Let’s send him an e-mail.” After sending e-mails, we talked on the phone a couple of times, then he drove from Wilmington to meet me at a restaurant at Atlantic Beach. Our next date was a day trip to Ocracoke Island on the ferry. It was a beautiful picture-perfect day. One year later we were married outside at Fort Macon. Faye Hashley, Morehead City, |
