Technology was the source that allowed us to find our way to each other over a year ago. We both had profiles on Match.com. Jeffery was a first timer, and I was encouraged by my brother to "get back out there" after unsuccessful attempts at a stable long term relationship. Not long after I signed up, I received a list of people who were compatible to me and Jeffery was on the list. When I read his profile, I was really impressed with the sincere tone of it. I sent him a note that said "I really enjoyed reading your profile; thanks for sharing." He responded and we communicated via messages for a couple of days. The next Sunday, we had a chance to have a telephone conversation - it lasted over 2 hours. The next day, Monday, we had our first date - and closed down the restaurant just sitting there talking. We soon decided that we wanted to see where this could possibly take us...and as they say, the rest is history.
