Here's a success story from a guy who was seeking single women:

Something just told me that I should meet her

"I had been on Yahoo! Personals for about three months and received many Icebreakers and messages. I had also sent out quite a number of them, but for some reason it just never felt ready or right about actually going through with the meeting someone. Then on January 30, I got a message from Michelle. She didn't even have a picture in her profile, however something just told me that I should meet her. We met five days later at a mutually convenient restaurant. Things felt really good and comfortable. After about three dates, we discovered that we must be what people call, 'soul mates.' Neither she nor I had ever understood what that was, however if you asked me, I would say it's the most amazing feeling. It can only be felt and it's difficult to describe. We can sit for hours and just be frozen in time and locked in eye contact. Time stops and everything around you becomes unimportant." -- Charles F., 42, Santa Clarita, Calif.

Tip: Be 100 percent honest and polite.

Tip: The Icebreakers are a must!
