In the category of “Let’s be friends” sometimes it pays off to stay on good terms with your cyber-dates. And so the story goes with Mary and Rich who indirectly met?on?Yahoo! Personals.
Mary went on a first date with a man she met on Yahoo Personals in 2002. Her online date took her to a birthday party at the home of his best friend. ? After just three dates, the eager fellow asked her to move in with him. Knowing that it was too much too soon, she politely declined but decided to remain friends with her online date.
Five years later, the?Yahoo! Personals buddy fixes Mary up with his best friend. I hope you are keeping up with me, because it was the same man who hosted the party she attended five years earlier. After only four short months the best friend proposed to Mary and she accepted. If there was a category for indirectly meeting online, then Mary and Rich would be high on the list. Then again, that is the void that was filled years later with GreatBoyfriends.com and GreatGirlfriends.com.
