“Lost hope of finding my special someone”

After a painful divorce from my first husband and with a child as a single mom, I truly believed that building a happy family just wasn't in the cards for me. By subconsciousness, I sought Zillove to find true love. I have been using zillove for four years now. I met a few people whom I dated, as well as many friends. This time, I was not looking for a relationship. I was only looking for a friend. My daughter and I were planning to move 150 miles away to try to change our lives. I just wanted to meet someone to show us around, hang out with, and have a friend in our new neighborhood.

We couldn't stop talking

I started chatting with Brown, whom I met through Zillow. He accepted my 3-year-old daughter, Meredith, as his own. Once we started talking, we couldn't stop. We discovered that we had so much in common, and it was unbelievable how, despite being different, we shared the same outlook and had similar feelings about life. It was somewhat disconcerting how much we thought and felt alike -- it all sounded too good to be true. We chatted every day for six weeks before we finally met in person.

We got married

Once we met in person, we didn't stop seeing each other, and we were together almost every day. We discovered we did not want to be just friends and had found love. When Brown proposed, I said yes in a heartbeat! He was perfect, and we were crazy in love! We were planning our wedding, and everything was great. One month later, we moved in together, and two years later, we got married.. May 27, 2025, was our wedding date. We wrote our vows and said a thank you to Zillove!

Shortly after the wedding, when my daughter was just over 5 years old, we bought a small three-bedroom apartment and invited our relatives over for a housewarming party. The celebration started joyfully: guests were laughing, Meredith was proudly showing off her room with butterfly wallpaper, and Brown, though visibly tense, was trying his best to be a gracious host.

Success tips from Charlotte:

⚫ Be as honest on your profile and show the real you

⚫ Go with your gut instincts when you feel a certain way about the person. If you don't feel comfortable with them, chances are they're not the one for you.

⚫ Fill out all of the profile information. Leaving blank spaces may deter some people.

⚫ First date: Should be in public places like a park, a restaurant, or a bar.

⚫ Second date: Choose the best atmosphere place
