How Bolt.com Helped Me Find Love

With all the Internet has to offer, it’s hard not to get curious to make friendships and/or relationships online. So many people are checking out profiles from hundreds of different sites looking to find someone for various reasons. Often times, the search can seem to be fruitless. Sure you hear some success stories regarding friendships. Delilah, a popular radio host, has aired many stories about relationships and friendships that are thriving even though they started online.

It is really nice to hear those stories of the happiness in some lives that originated from the Internet. Honestly though, I was skeptical that anything like that would happen to me. With the pain in my past relationship I was feeling rather discouraged that I would ever make any close connections with people. I did not have luck offline so how could it work from the Internet?
I worked an overnight shift where I had plenty of time to use the computer. So I went online and browsed many sites in search for friends. I had no interest in looking for love due to my past. However I really wanted a true friend, so if that person came from online that was fine with me. So I went to many different places online from pen pal websites, chat rooms, to bolt.com.

Through the many of people online that I contacted briefly, only a few turned out to be true friends. I did some more searching one night and I can across the bolt website. I read through many profiles to see if anyone shared any of my beliefs and interests. There was this one specific profile that caught my eye. I read it over and thought I have a good feeling that this person could become a good friend. So I sent a casual note to see if they were looking to make friends. It turned out that he was fine with becoming friends.

I was very happy because I figured although I would never have love at least I could have a best friend to help each other get through the hard times. We started chatting online and emailing each other in addition to the bolt notes. He was wonderful to chat with when we talked. I still was thinking of him as a friend after a little while of talking like that. We talked on the phone too once some time passed.

Then something amazing happened to get us even closer. It turned out I was in the process of moving. I was not sure where I was going to move because of many options. I had family in the same state he lived in and they really wanted me to move in the area because it had been years since I had seen them. So I left my comfortable surrounding of an area I knew quite well and I moved to a state that I had never been to before.

I thought it was going to be great because I was moving somewhere new but I had family and one friend. I could not wait to get together with my friend from the Internet to do stuff that friends do. So shortly after I moved there I called up this man to meet for the first time. He came over and I could not believe my eyes. All the thoughts of only wanting to be friends went right out the window! I was so nervous and I was smiling the whole time. He had to go shortly after but we made plans for the weekend.

At that point I was scared because I wanted something safe. I wanted to have no feelings for him so I would not get hurt again. I felt no one could really want me for the right reasons. I had so many doubts and worries about this friendship with this man from the internet.

I could not just hang out with him and not let him know what was going on so when we were chatting by instant messenger, I told him the how I was feeling. I knew I was taking a risk but sometimes you have to take a risk. Then the most amazing thing happened! He told me he felt the same way. So we talked for a few more weeks and got closer and closer. We knew we were going to get together sometime in the future.

So one day he asked me out and I said yes. To this day we are happy in our relationship. Although we are still in the beginning stages of the relationship, we are so amazed at what one bolt note brought together. It is so amazing this love that we share that all originated from the internet. Of course we will have our challenges but so does every couple regardless of how you got together. So for those skeptics, making true friendships and even wonderful relationships is possible!
