Testimonials
“We were both divorced with two kids each. Neither of us was looking to get married again, we just wanted to find someone to hang out with, be friends, etc. I was getting on the site to remove my profile and he had just signed up through an email ad he received. I hadn’t had any real luck; I met some guys. A few turned out to be good friends, but no romance. I had pretty much given up, and then I received an email telling me that he liked my picture and wanted to talk. So I called him and we talked for hours. We talked everyday for hours for about 4 days. Then I decided to get up the nerve to go meet him. I hadn’t had real success so I wasn’t about to get my hopes up this time. So I decided that one day after work I would meet him and off I went, I took my kids with me this time. I wanted their opinions, they didn’t much care for the other guys I had met, but they just loved him and his kids. The rest is history; we haven’t been apart from that moment on, except to go to work. We moved in with each other unofficially right away, and then six months later it was official. I moved out of my own house and into his. We were married May 13, 2005 and are living happily ever after.”

We are anxious to see what God has in store for both of us..
Chris and I met on Friday, July 31st in the 20’s chat room. We were goofing around, and I was sitting on the mingle couch, as we like to talk about in the chat room. Chris decided to take a flying leap onto the couch, and sent me flying off of it. After that, we started talking a little, and he sent me a smile. I sent him a smile, and we’ve been talking ever since. We officially started dating on August 16, 2009, and I went out to visit him in Omaha 2 weeks ago, and then also last weekend. My friend and I are taking a trip next week to Omaha to see him, and then flying to LA. We have already planned on one of us moving to the other one (a lot of it will depend on where I can get a job and start my career), and we plan on doing that in the next few months or so. We also have talked about getting married, which we think God has planned for us. We are anxious to see what God has in store for both of us, but we’re pretty sure it’s for us to be together for the rest of our lives.

Testimonials
Dreams do come true! After the loss of my first wife and mother to my four children, I wasn’t sure I’d ever be able to love again — but that wasn’t God’s plan! Since Mindy is from Lansing, MI and I’m from northern Minnesota, the chances of us meeting under ordinary circumstances would be almost impossible. ChristianCafe.com was a Godsend! I met Mindy there because our profiles showed that we both had volunteered our time in Honduras, providing access to dental care for people less fortunate and in need of our help. One thing led to another, and on the 21st of Sept. 2007, Mindy and I had our first chance to talk on the telephone, and did we hit it off! I haven’t been able to wipe the smile from my face ever since that first phone call! Last February we had the opportunity to go to Honduras to serve together, and what a wonderful experience it was for both of us! We were married on June 14th, 2008, and my girls and I couldn’t be happier! Thanks ChristianCafe.com for a safe, great place to meet like-minded people!

I am the happiest woman on the planet.
“We met back in December of 2006. He lived in North Carolina and I live Arizona. We wanted to be just friends. He was getting ready to be deployed overseas for the military and I promised I would email him. And I did. We emailed each other almost everyday while he was deployed and we became best friends. We got our chance to meet 9 months later (Sept 2007) and when I met him at the airport that day, it was love at first sight. We have been head over heels in love ever since. We are now engaged and are planning a November wedding.
We often talk about meeting on Catholic Mingle and how lucky we are that we found each other. I am the happiest woman on the planet. I have found my perfect match.
Thank you”

“I’ve never been one to get on a dating website. I kept getting mail from BlackSingles, so one day I decided to try it out. I joined BlackSingles on July 16, 2006 for one month. The last day that my contract was to end I met my true love, which was on August 16 around 8:30 pm. I only had a couple of hours left. I IM’ed him and he did not response back right away. Then later on he response back to me. He gave me his phone number and we had a long talk. Then after a couple of days we met. He was everything that I wanted in a man. After 3 months we moved in together. We have been together for 2 years. Then on my birthday July 18, 2008, he surprised me in bed with breakfast and had an engagement ring on the handle of a fork. Of course I accepted. We are very happy. We got married on April 17, 2009. Thank you BlackSingles! I never thought that I would find happiness like I have with Khamil. I have the best husband that I could ever ask for. We will be together 3 years on August 16, 2009. For anyone that does not believe that you can find your mate on BlackSingles, I am telling you that you can. Thanks again!”
