Feeling reluctant to attend, I registered for the event, and then got cold feet and canceled. After rethinking my decision, I told myself to just “go ahead and give it a try,” “what the heck,” and re-registered for the same event. Luckily, I re-registered in time, and there was still a space available for me to attend the event on a Wednesday evening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I arrived for the event, I was fighting the butterflies in my stomach, as I noticed other eager faces awaiting the beginning of the pre-dates. I remember thinking, “what type of people go to these things?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the event began, I chatted with a few people who were sipping cocktails and mingling in the foyer area. I met “Bob” before the event began and we chatted briefly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the event began, I was looking forward to Bob coming around to my table. When he did, I felt especially comfortable with him because we had already chatted before the event began. I was immediately interested in him, as we discussed our interests, hobbies, and careers during our six-minute pre-date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As he was about to leave my table, I quickly checked “yes” for him, and was hoping he did the same. As I left the event, I was hoping that Bob and I were a “match.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I met many interesting men at the event, Bob was my number one choice! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, I awaited the email from Pre-Dating to inform me of any matches. I was very pleased to see that Bob was on my list as a match! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That same evening, he called to ask me for a date Friday night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For our first date, we met at a restaurant where we had drinks, dinner, and great conversation outdoors by the water. I had a wonderful time and couldn’t wait to see him again. As we departed, he gave me an affectionate hug, and said that he would call me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He called two days later and asked me out for the following Friday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After our second date, we continued to go out every week, and before long we were seeing each other very frequently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bob and I immediately clicked on many levels. It was so refreshing to be with somebody who was real and genuine, and had the many qualities and traits that I had been searching for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bob and I have been together now for six months. For our six-month anniversary, he took me to dinner at the place where we had met (where the Pre-Dating event had been held). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I never expected to meet someone as wonderful as Bob at a Pre-Dating event. He is indeed a perfect match for me. We share similar interests, great conversation, and just enjoy spending quality time together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I highly recommend your Pre-Dating events to anybody who is looking for someone special. I did find someone special, thanks to you, and hope that others will be as fortunate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
