Natalia`s story

Natalia N., financial analyst.

I walked through life laughing, dating and saying goodbye, hoping that Santa would one day bring a good husband. Until one day I turned 35. I looked around: friends, career, Persian cat and… no man on the horizon would call me his God and men. As a woman of reason, I was aware that the time limit was basically over. And if I still want to make it as a wife and mother, I have to get married. But who? After considering all possible options to meet a worthy candidate, I made my choice on dating sites. At least the people who go there have a common goal of making a personal life.

I didn’t have any extravagant demands on my future choice. I was looking for a normal, sexually mature man, educated, with no material problems, wanting a home and a family. I have to say that I almost did not believe in the success of the idea. It was rather a gesture of despair, the last chance to jump into the leaving train. The fact that my attempt to find love through the Internet eventually succeeded, I admit, still seems to me something incredible. Although there is no magic here, of course, no. The great miracle would be to meet your fate at the bus stop or on the way to the bakery…  It took me a while to find my Fernando – the long-awaited meeting happened a year later. Having no experience of communicating on such sites, I sought the help of specialists at the Agency. They found a US Army officer from a good family and values I liked. The agency set us up in Kiev and we’ve been together ever since.
