I reluctantly joined Guardian Soul Mates dating agency as a man who felt that it was an unlikely way to be able to get to know a person well and find what I really wanted, which was an honest,loving and meaningful relationship.I was amazed that having braved putting pictures with my ad, that I had a good number of interested and interesting women make contact very quickly. So I answered the first respondant who unbeknownst to me was sitting 100 miles away feeling the same way and after a glass of wine decided to drop me a very sweet and simple compliment about my smile lines. We went on to exchange many emails and then we started talking and texting, exchanging ideas, views and enjoying ourselves.BUT despite the good feelings and clearly getting on so well, we both felt that it was a slightly surreal kind of friendship, connection, I had to go away to Germany and met someone who I knew but who was20 years my junior and very keen to start dating with me, so after only a few weeks of talking I now didn't know where I stood and what was going to happen and what should I do. I decided I had to contact my new Guardian Soul Mate and she said that we are not dating nor a couple and that she understood ours had only been a writing and phone connection, but that she felt so very dissapointed. I knew I would be too at that moment, we arranged to meet on my return and we went for a long walk in the hills, talked and talked all day and stopped for a meal, drank champagne, laughed and smiled and we have been ever since. We are both in our early fifties out of very long term relationships, professional people.But we are living a life we thought had slipped through our fingers, we are going to gigs, dancing while we cook together, doing the movies, meals and roses whilst both working hard. We plan our holidays and days off, we continue to enjoy our own friends and interests but from within a loving relationship.Its an old story of boy meets girl but later in life and through GSM. I never ever imagined I would find love again,but this is truly the most compatible relationship I have ever had and she says the same thing. However we were not that highly matched on % scale, why? She wanted a tall man and I am not, and Ishe is older than my chosen age range. If we changed those criteria our love match was how it feels 100%, look carefully and I hope this story will be yours too. Thanks GSM, from a sceptical romantic who found the real deal.
