Free Classifieds Service Is Bringing Couples Together on the Internet
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Marsha and John never thought
they'd meet the love of their life over the Internet. They enjoyed chatting
with others and had developed several good friendships online, but it wasn't
until their paths crossed on Classifieds2000's free personals service that
they knew they had found their soul mate. Cupid's cyber-arrow had pierced
their hearts.
"We started out as e-mail friends through the Classifieds2000 personals
service, and our relationship quickly grew," said Marsha. "We discovered we
had things in common simply by writing back and forth, and then talking. Our
first phone conversations were a little tense because we were both pretty
nervous. But soon, we knew a lot about each other. I feel very lucky and
extremely grateful that John and I found each other in all the vastness of the
Internet."
One of the many benefits of using Classifieds2000 over traditional
newspaper ads is that people from all over the country and the world can meet
each other -- there are no geographic limitations. "Things just fit like a
glove," said John. "and Marsha is moving from Oklahoma to Florida in the
beginning of March to be with me."
Romance has blossomed many times during the past year on the Personals
area of Classifieds2000. It is the one of the largest and best places to meet
people on the World Wide Web with over 150,000 personals listings and over
8.2 million people using the service each month.
Classifieds2000 makes it easy for people to find their ideal mates by
offering advanced search capabilities for criteria such as age, geographic
area, and ethnicity. Placing and searching ads is free, and the service also
allows users to post photos of themselves at no charge.
Visitors say it's a great way for people to get to know each other on a
deeper level first before ever meeting in person. "I'm handicapped and most
people would just look the other way in person, but on the Internet people get
to know me first. After that they don't care what's wrong with me
physically," John said.
Marsha added, "I really like getting to know someone over the 'net. You
can get a real feel for a person by the things they write -- what they like
and don't like. When you meet someone in person, most people only think about
physical things. That's all put aside with online experiences. You get to
know the person who lives inside the body. And that's all that matters in the
end anyway."
At least three other couples who met on Classifieds2000 have gotten
engaged since January 1, 1998.
