Questions for her:
How long were you a member of DatingDirect.com before you met and did you meet anyone else first?
I was on DatingDirect.com for six months before I met Tim. I had about six other dates. I would say the dates went well - it was quite apparent whether there was a mutual attraction or not (and obviously in most cases, not).
Questions for him:
How long were you a member of DatingDirect.com before you met and did you meet anyone else first?
I was on the site for approx a year. I went on three other dates before meeting Jenny.
In their own words
What first attracted you to your current partner?
Jenny : His picture!!!! I liked the look of him in his picture and liked his written profile, so much so that I put him in my favourites box and e-mailed him the next day!!!!
Tim : The first thing i noticed was her amazing smile after i looked at her profile. After this i found out about all of her other fantastic qualities and was sold!
Tell us about how the relationship progressed?
Jenny : We meet up at The Bull (a pub near us) for a drink, chat and a spot of lunch. Although I was suffering from a cold and Tim was suffering from Hayfever the conversation never stopped, so much so that we didnt realise 4 hours had passed. We had out first kiss in the car park (after he showed off his car of course).
From that we e-mailed, text and called each other. Our second date was arranged for the following week where we went for dinner, the cinema then for a drink, another kiss at the end of the evening secured the 3rd date (my choice) of bowling, where naturally I beat him by a mile!!
Seeing as I spent most of my time at Tims and regularly stayed over, it gradually led me to bring some of my stuff over, and without realising or announcing to anyone I had practically moved in with him.
Tim : We started emailing each other and chatting on MSN. We emailed regularly (probably everyday) but didnt meet up until 2 weeks later
What plans do you have for your relationship in the future?
Jenny : We have recently opened a joint account together and are currently house hunting (joint mortgage!!) in the local area. Although we havent bought a house yet it hasnt stopped us from ordering a new leather sofa.
.
Also I have tried on engagement rings (so he knows my ring size and what style I like) just waiting for that time he gets down on bended knee.
Tim : We've also decided to get a kitten, we pick her up next month.
