Both of us were in the same situation: wanting to meet someone very compatible, but not having much luck. So we both decided to give online dating another try on OurTime, a dating site for "mature" people looking for love. Mark saw Connie's profile and was immediately intrigued with the picture of her holding a birthday cake and rolling her eyes that it was her 60th. Connie saw Mark's profile and thought he looked like a catch, being that he was a homeowner, which showed he was responsible, and as a bonus, very handsome! First, we messaged one another on the website, but during that, a bug in the system kicked Mark off. He wondered if the redhead he had high hopes for got offended somehow and had him blocked? Meanwhile Connie thought Mark had just left her hanging and "ghosted" her. She was disappointed! But then about a week later, Mark had his dating page fixed and re-appeared. He asked Connie if she'd had him blocked. Absolutely not, she replied! There was a mutual sigh of relief! Messaging led to texting, which led to a phone call, which led to our first date at Cup of Tea in Clackamas. We hit it off from the moment we met!
