yanspon37 & lenaki428 I noticed Lena immediately on EG. However, she was not a very active member. I repeatedly looked at her profile for several months, only to be disappointed when each time it read she was "last active more than 30 days ago." From the first time I saw her pictures and read over her interests and hobbies, I knew she was special. I asked myself, "Why can't I meet a girl like this? She's what I need in my life." One afternoon in mid-November a feeling of pure excitement fell over me. Lena had recentl  y checked her EG account. This was my shot. I talked myself into sending her a message. I justified it by convincing myself that since she had been on once she would have to get on again, therefore seeing my message and certainly responding back quickly. At least that's what I hoped. So after gathering up false courage, I needed to figure out what to say. I decided the truth was the best way to go. I introduced myself and let her know that her best feature was not her legs as she stated in her profile, but rather her radiant smile that made her almost seem to glow. I nervously waited out the next 24 hours, not sure what to expect when I signed back on my account. You can imagine my joy when I had a reply sitting in my inbox! Lena and I talked for several weeks through email. We eventually exchanged phone numbers. Finding out we had a lot in common we knew we had to meet in person. Me being from Ohio and her from New York, this would not be an easy task. I agreed to come see her. I bought a plane ticket and flew to see her in mid-December. It was an amazing weekend. Our first date was spent in New York City. Walking up and down the streets hand in hand, laughing and talking the whole way. We spent hours in Times Square. The intimacy was only increased by the holiday season and the buzz it created. When we said goodbye I knew the next time I would see her was too far away. We thought the next time wouldn't be until the end of January, but I had other plans. I drove to New York the night before New Year’s Eve to surprise Lena. I didn't see her till after she got off work at 2 a.m., but it was well worth the wait. It was the most memorable NYE I've ever had, and fortunately for me it was just the beginning. Lena and I are still happily dating and getting more serious as the days pass. There have been marriage talks and to be honest, I can't see my life without her. We are making the best out of a long distance relationship. It isn't easy, but absolutely worth it. When we're not together I am motivated by the thought of when I get to see her beautiful face again. When we are together you can find no happier person roaming the earth. EG has helped me find the girl of my dreams. Thanks to you we have wonderful memories, great stories to tell, and a lifetime ahead of us to reflect on them. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Anastasia & Steven Anastasia was the first to contact Steven, with an email, midweek, early December 2005. We had a few conversations on the phone, and planned on meeting that following Saturday. Steven picked me up curbside outside the nurses residence at Mount Sinai Hospital,in South Beach Miami. He showed up in his Lincoln Navy, initially joking that he was driving something much less impressive. He got out of the car and I took one look at him saying "You look just like your picture. We are going to be just f  ine." We decided on starting from our common interests, so we went out for sushi and for some house music dancing at Mansion Night Club in South Beach ON OUR FIRST DATE!!!! We danced together till 5am. The following week, Steven invited me to come visit at his home, in Delray Beach, Florida. The holidays were approaching and we both had plans with our individual families. We did not want to go through the holidays without seeing each other again. So with his mom and sister Eleni in town, I braved the trip up to Delray Beach, and spent a second, and a third date with Steven, his mom, and his sister. After falling in love with his mom and his sister, I then realized I was fall ing in love with him. I knew on the second date that he was "the one". We parted ways over the holidays, running up our phone bills while he was in Key West, Florida and myself, in Windsor, Ontario. We came back together December 31, 2005 to bring in the New Year, and we have been inseparable ever since. After dating for a year and a half, he proposed to me on Seven Mile Beach in the Grand Cayman Isle. After a year engagement, we got married at St. Haralambos Church in Canton, Ohio on May 28, 2008! Had it not been for Eligible Greek, we never would have met. Thank you for bringing us together. Sincerely, Mr. & Mrs. Poulos!!!

kouklara_us & nxt2472  First of all let me explain, I thoght I was just wasting my time on another website. Though, I thought let me try to find one of my own. At first, it was just that, no difference. I wouldn't even respond to some of the flirts. Then I started reading the profiles, and found one that sounded like someone with the same values and upbringings as myself. I decided to contact her. When she reponded to my flirt, our dialog began to grow first through e-mails, then through phone conversations. I then knew I had to meet her. Once I did I knew she truely was the person I had longed to find. Though nothing is ever easy. She was visiting her brother in Texas and realy lived in California. So when it was time for her to return home, we had to make a decision, to either continue a long distance relationship or to end the relationship and remain friends. So we tried the long distance relationship for a while. Though I knew I had to do something to change the situation. I realized I needed her around me all the time not periodicaly. I knew I was only happy when I was around her. I then was able to get a transfer for my job to the bay area. I then picked up my things and followed her across the country. I never made a better decision. I've never been happier and I can happily anounce we are engaged to be married. I know you have had other success stories, though for me personally it's more than a success story. It's a life saving story. So, let me say thank you. From both of us, Thank you.

Evangelia & Peter The journey of Peter and Evangelia….. I was on the site for almost 10 months, corresponding with some others, sending flirts, emails, met even a few in person but no one really caught my eye as much as Peter’s profile. It all began with a single flirt that I sent him on October 4, stating how I really enjoyed his profile **mind you, he had no picture up** and that I would hope to chat with him some time soon. The very next day Peter sent me an email telling me that he received my flirt and t  hat he read my profile and found me to be very sweet and confident. Also stating “wow, you’re far”. Now Peter lives in Whitestone, New York and I myself live in Woodbridge, Ontario which is in Canada. Within a few corresponding emails that we exchanged, we happened to catch each other online on October 6. Soon after, we began to talk over the phone for the next few days. At that point, getting to know one another, I realized on my end that Peter and I were very similar in many ways. The more and more we spoke on the phone, the more and more I wanted to see him. Even though distance seemed to be a small obstacle, I decided to invite Peter to a wedding that I was attending on October 14, 2006. That Sunday, I finally asked him to be my date for my girlfriend’s wedding, and he replied “Yes, I would love to go with you.” So now we had a plan of action. Not being sure of whether or not he needed a passport to fly to Canada, Peter decided to take a flight from New York to Buffalo, and drive from Buffalo and cross the border into Canada and meet me in Toronto on October 13, 2006. The excitement was building on both our ends. At some point you may think that October 13th is a superstitious day or just an ordinary day like the others. Well, let me tell you what happened to Peter that day when he attempted his trip to see me. On that day, his flight was delayed at first from 11am to 3pm, and then cancelled within the hour, causing him to reschedule his flight to fly out to Washington at 6pm with a connecting flight to Buffalo. That day, Buffalo had a snowstorm, causing the airport to shut down due to the power outage the storm caused. When Peter finally arrived in Buffalo, he was stuck at the airport with no where to go because the car rental place was closed. It was a complete ghost town at this time, due to the storm, and everyone was being evacuated out of the airport. Peter ended up staying for the night at some hotel with no heat, no electricity and no power, and yet he still was determined that somehow he’s going to make it to Toronto somehow. The following morning the car rental place was re-opened, and Peter called me in the morning when he crossed the border to let me know that he’s nearing Toronto. Shortly after that, we met at a nearby hotel that I had booked for him the previous night. This is where our story begins. Upon walking toward the room, all I was thinking about was how to approach the whole beginning, do I knock on the door or do I use my key. I decided to knock on the door, but there was no response so I decided to let myself in. When I walked in I found Pete had fallen asleep due to his whole experience within his trip to Toronto. I didn’t know how to even say hello at this point, so I stared at him for awhile and than decided to brush my hand on his leg that was when Pete opened his eyes. Then we had our first moment. We both said “Hi” and then we gave each other the sweetest, tightest hug. We later on went out for lunch and did a little shopping before getting ready for our evening event. That evening we made it to my friend’s wedding, and Pete looked so handsome, so sexy, and so sweet. I could honestly say, I’ve never felt anything like this before. Peter made me feel like I was the only one who existed in our surroundings. When we walked into the reception area and looked at the head table where the bride and groom sat, Pete turned and looked at me and said “Babe, are you going to join me up there some day?” and I responded “Most definitely, I would love to...” After the wedding reception, we went back to the hotel, and we were lost in each others eyes. Through out the whole day and evening you can imagine how many moments we both had, and the moments created such a greater and stronger feeling/bond between the both of us. That night, imagine what happened. Pete asked me, “Do you remember what I told you about me coming this weekend, what it was all about?,” and I responded “yes, you came here to verify that I was real”, and he said “yes, I came here for verification, and I got it, I love you … I knew from the very first moment that I fell in love with you and I am in love with you….” Wow!, that was a “wow” moment for me, I honestly lost my breath, I looked at him and I put up my finger so he can hold on and went to my purse to grab my puffer (I have mild asthma), just so I can catch my breath. I then looked at him, held him tightly and told him “I love you”. The next day Pete and I had lunch at my parents’ house and shortly after lunch he had to leave and head back home to New York. At first it was hard to part, but we felt a sense of ease knowing that we both were made for each other, and both of us were in love. Two weeks went by, and not one day passed that we didn’t talk to each other on the phone or webcam each other. We were missing each other so much. I couldn’t take it anymore. I decided to book a flight to New York to go see him. So I had a plan. I played sick for my full time job, so I didn’t work on Thursday or Friday and for my part time job, I told them a week ahead that I’m not going to be here and that I will be out of town so they should not be expecting me for my shift. I finally arrived in New York on Thursday October 26 and the love of my life was there waiting for me at the airport. When I saw him, we said hi with a smile and hugged each other followed by a sweet kiss. I met Pete’s family on Friday, that is were I realized how and why Pete is who he is. His parents are phenomenal and I must say that they raised one eccentric and unique man that has made me the luckiest woman in the world. During my stay in New York, he took me to Manhattan, Times Square, the East Village and upstate to Monticello and the best part of it all, to his home. This trip was the first time I ever travelled on my own and I always had a phobia of traveling on my own especially when I’m not familiar with my surroundings. Considering my first flight went well, I wasn’t that scared to go home, but I had a little fear only because I had a connecting flight to get back to Toronto. Sunday comes along, and my flight was originally planned out to be from New York to Boston and from Boston to Toronto. My flight in New York was delayed for approximately an hour and 10 min, but due to this delay I missed my flight in Boston to get home. I had a breakdown in Boston; I got scared and didn’t know what to do. Pete saved me, my sweet dearest, my love…..he told me to stay put in the airport and that he will come get me and make sure I’ll be on a flight the next day back to Toronto. Peter drove from New York all the way to Boston in less than 3 hours. When I saw him pull up to the terminal where I was waiting, I felt a sense of ease and comfort, my baby came, I squeezed him tight and said “thank you….I love you”. We then checked into a hotel near the airport for the night and re-arranged the flight details for the following morning. He then took my breath away when he told me that “eskase h kardia mou” when he heard me cry on the phone. Every moment that we have had and every moment that we create unites us and makes our bond stronger than ever. I have to say that whoever thinks that True Love, or even Love at first sight doesn’t exist, are so wrong. Love at first sight is real, and true love does exist, and when that time comes, like everyone that’s in love always says, “you just know…..you’ll know when you’re in love”. As a result of this new found relationship, I’m planning on moving to New York to be with Peter Thanksgiving weekend. Peter is flying up to Toronto to spend that weekend with me and my family and that Sunday we are flying back together. As I stated before, true love and love at first sight does exist. I found mine and I’m ready to make my transition to New York soon. I want to thank Eligiblegreeks.com for making it possible for Peter and I to meet because without them we would both still be searching for that special someone. We have both finally met the missing piece in our lives that makes us complete and we can now begin our journey together to create our empire. It’s the greatest feeling in the world to know that there is someone out there that loves me as much as I love him. Part of Peters’ trip here involves taking me back home with him but not only as his friend and his love but also as his wife!

XmetallichrissyX & Bertosj Her story- I honestly never thought that I would find my soul mate on EligibleGreeks.com. I was afraid of getting into a new relationship with someone because I didn't want to get hurt. All I wanted was someone to love me for who I am. Most guys I've met I either don't have a connection or are shallow, judging others. In September, I decided to rejoin this site just to make some friends and maybe meet someone nice. For a couple of weeks I kept seeing the same faces until one night in Octo ber I came across a handsome guy with the same interests as me. I read John's profile and was very interested in finding out more about him so I sent him a quick email and hoped that he would respond. The next day he messaged me and we were talking about musicians we both love which is actually what caught my attention in the first place, other than his sexy looks of course. We were telling each other about our lives, families and interests. We found out that we had a lot in common. I also found out that John is fourth cousin's with my best friend which was a huge plus. We exchanged phone numbers and from then on spoke every day. We decided to hangout for two days straight to get to know each other better and we hit it off right away. I couldn’t believe how strong our connection was. I knew right away that there was something special about him. The eighty mile distance differential keeping us from finding each other was bridged thanks to EligibleGreeks. We have spent every weekend together ever since, taking turns traveling to be with one another. We always make contact on the phone, via text message, and webcam every day. We feel as if we have known each other our whole lives and we have been inseparable ever since. John is the most wonderful, kind, loving and generous man I have ever met. I am so blessed to be spending the rest of my life with him. I can’t picture myself with anyone else. I never take off the promise ring he gave me for Christmas. It makes me the happiest woman to know that one day we’ll be engaged and then married. We are so happy! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to find each other. -Chrisoula Kyriakakis His story- It was on a late Saturday night, early Sunday morning - 3am to be exact, that I received the email that would change the course of my life. I was laying in bed after a typical boring evening out with the boys when my iphone chimed that I had received a new email. Odd I thought oh great another friggin spam email at 3am to bug me right before I pass out. To my delight it was a message from EligibleGreeks. I had a strange force nudging me to press the touch screen to open that email, something in my gut told me it would be something special. Then I saw her username and immediately jumped out of my bed and turned on my computer. She was a metal fan, more importantly a Metallica fan and yes - she was Greek! What I saw when I opened the flirt was the most beautiful face I had ever seen. The woman of my dreams, and angel who's aura emitted a kind, soothing, and welcoming feeling. It was unlike anything that I had encountered before in real life as well as on EligibleGreeks. Where is she from I wondered, why haven't I seen her before in my searches? How could she have been missed?! Well... she was from New York, and tucked away eighty miles from me, hidden in a concrete jungle. She was always the woman at the end of the search list, the one which I had always filtered to distance from my location, but turned out to be the closest to my heart. The next day after coming home from work I tried to get in contact with her. By some mystical force I had just caught her right before she was leaving. We spent a great deal of time talking about our likes and dislikes, and just speaking freely on what was on our mind. It wasn't too long after that we were already planning our first date. I can honestly say I never was keen on traveling to NY. I had clumped in anyone from NY with the Astoria night-life crowd that I always found hollow and misleading. She was none of this. I thought, what could I lose? At the very least, I could make a long distance friend whom had very similar interests as me. I planned to stay for the weekend so we could spend as much time together as we could. It didn't take too long for us to feel connected. We already had a connection over the internet and the phone, but now we shared one in person, it was an incredible feeling. Our first date was to see the new movie Zombieland. She wasn't too sure it would be a great movie, and I got the sense that she didn't want to see it, but something told me the comedy of the writers and directors from this movie would be right down our alley. Her fears were silenced when the opening credit scene started blaring Metallica's For Whom the Bell Tolls. Really? Can you get any better than that? Wow. We both laughed the entire movie and held hands the entire time, and shared our first kiss at the end. The rest is history. Everything we have experienced since that first weekend has been nothing short of exhilarating. New obstacles present themselves every time we are together. We always seem to overcome them as if we were a well practiced sports team. I cherish every moment I have with Chrisoula. We gel, we have perfect chemistry, we just work. We aren't perfect, but we are great, and it feels good to finally have won something... the love of an incredible woman. Thank you EligibleGreeks.com for the opportunity of a lifetime. I love you Chrissy <3 -John F. Bertos

Enite & Nikolas Dear Eligible Greeks, November 3, 2004 I sent a fateful flirt to Nikmx5 all the way from Atlanta, Georgia to Nicosia, Cyprus. I had bought my very first computer just a month earlier so I was brand new to the Internet. I was going through a friendly divorce, and made up may mind that now I was going to look for a man with my same Greek heritage who loved and needed the Church as much as I do. I jokingly Googled “Greek men” one day when I came across the website Eligible Greeks. I posted a p  rofile under the screen name Enite without a picture. (I was still a little shy about this whole thing, and what if someone from my hometown saw me!?) So I browsed the gallery for a couple of nights, which shows pictures of men who are online using the sight. I saw Nikmx5 and was awestruck with his grace and good looks. I read his profile and he sounded very special and I thought, “Oh what the heck, he’s in Cyprus, what can it hurt to send him a flirt and tell him how hot he is. We’ll never meet!” So I did! Never in a million years did I think I would hear back from him. Well, I did!!! He sent me an engaging and friendly email and we started corresponding. It wasn’t long before we had our first long distance phone conversation. Exactly one year after we met on line I made arrangements to come meet him in person in Cyprus. I stayed for ten days, met his family, and had a wonderful time touring the island and getting to know Nik. Before I left, he took me to the most romantic dinner in Old Nicosia at an outdoor café where we shared mezze. That night he uttered the magic words I will never forget, “What would it take to get you to stay?” And I answered, “Not much; you asking.” Three months later I moved, pets and all, to Cyprus. 7 months after that we were married, September 3, 2006 in Nicosia, Cyprus. Even my relatives from America came for the wedding. I have heard many people say it is a fairy tale romance, and I guess every once in a while I have to pinch myself! But it is real. It is the second marriage for both of us, but this time we have a solid foundation. Thanks to Eligible Greeks (Omogenia in Cyprus) we were able to meet each other. I guess you could say I am glad I got a computer! And ladies, if you see something special in a man, don’t be afraid to let him know. Send him a flirt! And be patient, good seeds take some time to grow. I met Nik right away and it was love at first sight for me, but it took Nik a little more time to believe this could be real. He is the most extraordinary man I have ever known and our meeting and subsequent marriage is a most beautiful gift. Thank you. J Nik’s story In September of 2004 I discovered a website called Omogenia and after spending a number of days looking through the profiles I took the plunge and became a member. I was unsure of what to expect and unsure about whom I would meet and it took a couple of weeks before I sent a couple of flirts. Then on the 3rd November 2004, I received a life changing email…I Nikmx5, met Enite. It was an incredible way to meet someone, who has grown to be the truest love of my life and furthermore is now my treasured love and wife. Meeting Anita this way has meant that I could speak to her about anything; it allowed me to express myself in many new ways including the writing of prose. Anita has brightened my life in all aspects and if was not for the Internet and more so for Omogenia / Eligible Greeks I would have never had the opportunity of meeting such a wonderful person. On the day we met in person, it was difficult to believe that the person that I written and spoken to for one year, who lived on another continent, was standing in before me!. We spent the next ten days getting to know each other and I never wanted those days to end. During that visit I feel we took a conversation that we started first by mail, then by phone, to a new level and today we continue on a daily basis to grow into a better understanding of one another and the world together. I look forward to reading your stories on these pages of how you have met the person that completes you in the same way that I feel that Anita completes, complements and challenges me on a daily basis. and from both of us… We both want to say thanks so very much, and to let you and others know that we, the most unlikely geographical pair, met on your site, and to get the word out there for those still looking that the most amazing things can and truly do happen Best of luck to all. Lots of Love, OOOXXX, Nik and Anita (Nikita J)

Adrienne & Mike When it came to internet-based dating websites, I was fairly skeptical what would come out of such an endeavor. Theoretically, yes, I posted a profile to legitimately find someone who would value me as a person and eventually to pursue a relationship with a future. I quickly realized that half the battle is obtaining a membership to message someone directly or else I would be "that guy who sends flirts." I had stumbled upon various profiles but Adrienne's was the most intriguing; she was sweet, beautiful, and artistically inclined. Her value of balancing a career with a family was important to her. It turns out we both grew up several miles from each other but our paths never crossed except through EG. After looking at her profile, Adrienne decided to send me a flirt in which I promptly responded with a "real" message. We met at the mall about 1 month after writing emails and we were immediately attracted to each other. I think we were both hesitant to jump into anything too serious, both being in graduate school but this was such an amazing and rewarding experience. Everything has been like a dream ever since, we are so in love with each other. Adrienne plans to graduate in 2009 and I, in 2010 and we will get married Fall 2009. Thank you for the ride! -Mike I never believed that I would ever find love on a website of all places. I had joined Eligible Greeks a couple years ago but didn't look around very much until July 2007 when I seriously wanted to actually "find someone". When I met Mike, I knew right away from the very first instant message, that he was perfect for me. When we met for the first time (in person), I already knew that I was in love with him. If a psychic had come up to me and told me a few months back that now I'd meet the love of my life, I would have never believed him/her. Mike and I went on a few dates before making it official, and he did not kiss me until the 5th date. However, it was worth the wait because it was the most mind-blowing kiss I've ever experienced in my life. The rest is pretty much history. As Mike explained, we plan on getting married very soon and we are very excited about it! I love him so much. Thank you so much EG because I would not be with him if not for your site. -Adrienne

Once In A Lifetime I was fed up looking around for the right person for me. The ones I had met were either fake or...not for me. And I mean in reality! I thought the FINAL solution would be to look in the Internet, and even this was proposed by a collegue of mine. Just imagine, living in a huge city, being ALONE. Hundreds passing by you but not for you. I had no trust but tried. Having no idea about such procedures or sites, my search engine came with a result of your site. To be frank I was not willing at all to try it but then I thought I had nothing to lose. Then, your site was on, all time I spent on my computer. Then, suddenly, on one of your new members ads, I saw...her. That was it. I was attracted by her eyes, a contract of beauty but above all, honesty. I immediately signed up to your service to find out, to my horror that, that member was inactive for "more than 30 days". I was very disappointed.
 I had sent her e-mails and waited for months. Each day waiting for a reply was a nightmare. Then she replied. And that was it. The beginning and the end at the same time. Key and keyhole. We chatted for about 4 months since she was living in Russia. About everything, just to find out that we shared exactly same interests, needs, ethics, lifestyle, me from Greece, her from Russia. We became...friends, literally. We both felt we were made for each other. We discussed about everything and i even kept her company while she was working, through the net. We both KNEW we were in love, extremely so, and it was an unbearable burden, this distance. WE confessed our feelings, silly to say, through a web cam, on the 16th of April 2007. On May, sent her flowers for her birhtday. We were a couple already. Rest was just....technical.
We both arranged our vacation from work so I could fly to Russia and meet in reality. We were so much in love already that when I went there, not only felt at home, but I was offered hospitality by her parents! When we first saw eachother we knew that this was it. She was my alter ego, my other half, like seeing me, in the female form. At the airport I just said "finally", and we kissed and hugged for hours, there, at Moscow, as if we were always together. As if I was on a business trip and just returned to meet my beloved. Our first date came next, strange, no need for a date in reality. We were just two in one, hugging, walking on streets, holding hands. Then, here we are, two hearts beating liking one, promiced eternity to eachother already. We are now in Greece, just returned from the islands. Soon, she will be living with me, forever. I am already learning Russian and her Greek is already....great! What can I say to those who at the moment are alone, other than...."never give up" (her motto on your site). She is right. Please, never give up. Try and try if you have to. Look in the eyes. Remember. A picture is more than a thousand words. You will feel it, when it comes. Destiny waits for those who are patient enough. Funny thing, after we met in reality, was our saying..."THANK YOU NET! THANK YOU ELIGIBLE GREEKS" We will be keeping this for the rest of our lives... I have no suggestions for your site or your services. I have only the obligation to thank you for, if it wasn't for you, our lives would never be one. I can't even now believe that through smilies, a cam, months of chatting, 2 strangers, living 2000 km away, became a true couple, hugely in love. Thank you, really. Me-her-WE, owe you the rest of our lives, together.

John & Marina Her Smile was my first attraction. We chatted for almost 6 months before we met , reason for this was she lived in Australia & I live in NY. On our first date we went to Niagra falls. After talking with her for 6 months I felt like had known her for a long time. My advise to single people is never give up on looking for your better half there is some one there for you. Thank you to Eligible Greeks for your help.
– John

Michelle & Spyridon Sometime in 2003, I placed a profile on EligibleGreeks.com, from a Greek friend's urging. I protested and argued that I wasn't Greek and that I'd never get a date because of this. He persuaded me and said....."What do you have to lose?" I reluctantly agreed and posted a very bland profile.
I forgot that I had posted a profile on EligibleGreeks.com, because just as I had suspected, no instant messages, no dates. Two years later..........I got an e mail from SpyrosinKentucky. I had taken a bit of a break from dating for a few months, and surprised my friends when I told them that I was going on a date with a guy who was really from Greece. Because neither of us had posted photos, we had very vauge ideas what the other looked like. I had ran late for our date that evening, and the only thing that was open for dinner past 10 pm in northern Kentucky was a place called Bar Louie that overlooked the Ohio river. Not planned, but, not bad after all, rather romantic! Spyros and I chatted well until after midnight, and ironically, I found that on his profile, the only thing that he asked for was a girl who was fluent in Greek, which I knew “giasou”, and that was it!! But, somehow, I came up as a 100% match for him...LOL!!! Well, even though I lacked communication preferences, I must have made a good impression because the next day, I was called for another date!! Then the next day as well. That was May 17, 2005.
I am very, very happy to say, we are in the midst of planning our Sept 2, 2007 wedding!!!!
Oh, yes, and I did wind up taking Greek lessons.
Euxaristo poli O filos mou, O Angelos. Your persuasion changed my life!!

Maria & Demitrios
It's funny how things can happen in life sometimes. I found out about this site form a friend and even if I didn't believe in these kinds of relations (typical Greek i guess..!!) I thought it would be a pleasant way of killing some time. After a couple of months and just before I was ready to quit, I saw that sweet face!!! My attitude suddenly changed. I started flirting and messaging her but it seems that she was one of the most wanted people on this site, so I got no response. That made me even more determined to meeet her. So one day I got a mail from her. I still remember how happy that made me. The following few months we both spend almost 3 lifetimes chating on line. In the end, to my surprise, she took the decision to come and visit me here in Athens.
 The minutes I was waiting in the aiport were centuries for me and made me even more nervous than I already was. Where was all that macho attitude I've learned to have in these situations?!!?!?! They say it takes a second to realize the most important things in life. I say even less, cause the glance she gave me when she finally appeared, lasted less than a second but it was enough to made me realize that she was the ONE. It took me a few minutes to find back my self (im still sure she must had thought i was the stupiest man on earth!!!).......
To make the long story short ,this summer she came to Greece for the third time in the last 7 months. We had great time. I know it took me the hard way to know but now I'm 100% sure that she is the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with....
The purpose of this mail is to thank this site for giving us the opportunity to meet each other but it turns out to be the perfect chance for me to say a huge THANK U to my beboula for showing me all this love. Having her next to me makes me a better man and I'm sure I could never thank her enough for that. The only thing I can promise (in front of all of u!!!) is to do whatever it takes to give her the love she deserves to have.
Beboula mou I LOVE U,
– DIMITRIS

Bri & Marina First, I never thought I would take the time to write about my love success, much less find love on the internet. we have all heard those terrible net stories. But the other side of coin is that strong possibility of finding the right one. Well, I did. I wanted to take a moment and THANK ELIGIBLE GREEKS for this. I lived in Florida and she in NYC. Naturally i was very nervous.
We met on Broadway as our first date to see the show, "Mama Mia". I stood outside waiting...and waiting. Show started at 8pm. It was 8:05. I went inside to watch the show and felt my doubts. 10 minutes later, she arrived in the darkness to take her seat, but she was so radiant with beauty that it was like the whole theater lit up and the spotlights focued on her. From that one moment, I KNEW she was going to be my bride. We married one year later after she moved down to Florida with me. we are now expecting our first child expected due date of December 25, 2007. WHAT A PERFECT CHRISTMAS GIFT!!
And to think that I was looking for a bargain at freeRussianbrides.com!! LOL....see, goes to show ya, that if something is Free, then you are sacrificing quality. If you want quality, go to ELIGIBLEGREEKS.com!

kamelia_a I received a flirt from Ionas44. At that time I was not a paltinum member therefore I could not send him a message. I found out that also hmeself was not a platinum member. I decided, since by reading his profile, I was impressed and tempted to know him better, I sent him a flirt by saying: I cannot beleive that you did not become a member yet, I worth it! Immediately he became a member and sent me his mail and phone number. We met two days later for a coffee and since then we are together. There was chemistry between us immediately and common interests, and we are couple since then living together and feeling happy and satisfied. Thank you again for giving us the opportunoity of meeting the soulmate through your site. – Marietta-Manon Maissa

danny_belgrade & illustrator Thry a friend I have heard about this site and I open a profile. For some time nothing was happening and then all the wrong man started sending messages. I gave up thinking it's stupid even to be here. Then one night I got a message from George. I open his profile and somehow all thet was there in his profile was just what I wanned. So I answerd to him. Our stories were similar and we klicked from first second. We started spendind all days and night's over a phone and a week after he decided to come to Belgrade for 2 weeks. We have both finally met the missing piece in our lives that makes us complete. Everything started with first message when he contacted me August and at March we were married. Now we have became parents of a beautiful baby boy and I am proud to call George my husband. He is all that I have ever looked for and a wonderfull father. We Thank you a lot for everything and we wish everybody to be as lucky as we have been. – Danijela Slavkovic

kookla & ari Where do i start? One day i was browsing the internet, to look for Greek nightclubs. that I could go to with my friends. As i clicked on Greek nightclubs , on the side of the web page, were some links for dating sites ; Greeks meet Greeks"Eligible Greeks". So , as I was browsing through peoples' profiles one caught my interest . It never came to my mind before to join a dating site . Well what did i do? I started looking through the questionare they had that you had to enter your details. I started it off to see what i would actually write if I joined the website. Then, I saved it though I didn't submit my profile , as i wasn't sure whether i was going to join or not. I wanted to think about it throughout the weekend. The next day ,which was a Saturday night, I logged on my computer and clicked on the website ,to show to a friend . I saw that I was already logged on and had a message....I was in total shock as I didn't think I was logged on ! But to my suprise , I was ! But, all I can say from that very moment my life has changed for the better. As I was messaging this guy , Ari. We decided to meet Sunday night at a pub . We both bought along our friends, as I didnt want to go alone. I didnt know, since he was a complete stranger. Well on my way there, with a friend , I was hesitant whether we should go or not . My friend talked me into it ,so we did. When we got there , I didnt really say much to Ari or make any contact with him. As the night progressed, we went for dinner and slowly chatted. We both realized that we had a lot in common. The next day, Ari texted me asking if I was intrested ; I replyed yes! So, that week he asked me to go out to dinner . We went to Thai Potong, it was so nice! Later, we went to a park and talked until 5am in the morning. As we look back, it was a funny first date that we will never forget. We got to know each other really well. The next couple of days, Ari asked me out and now its been almost 3 months and it feels like 5 years . I feel like myself and we are so natural with each other . We haven't spent a night alone without each other. We are now living together and seriously looking to buy our dream home together and begin our lives. I am so grateful to have him in my life, he is best thing to happen to me . I treasure evey moment with him ! God has sent me the man I have always wanted. I always believed He would. So, the point to my story is to never stop "BELIEVING". I didn't , and look what i got: the lottery! Good luck in your search for love as it happend to me on the net and I never thought it was possible but anything is...and we are the proof ! Thank You – Voula

Roula123 & Odessey55 I never believed in online dating. Actually, I was embarrased to even join any type of online dating site. A friend of mine told me about EG and I thought I'd try it. I was on it for a few months when I met Baggeli! We met online on February 15th 2006 and went on our first date on February 28th 2006. I think we both knew this was it on that first date! It was perfect. We met at 8pm for dinner and the next time we looked at the time it was 2am! It was strange that we had never met before...we went to same university, hung out at the same places, lived very close to each other, even knew some of the same people...I guess everything happens for a reason. I joined EG and found the man of my dreams! He proposed on our 1 year anniversary!!! He reenacted our entire first date...same parking spot, same restaurant, even wore the same clothes... It was wonderful! And ofcourse I said YES! We bought a house and moved in September and got married on February 15, 2009!!! We recently celebrated our 3 year anniversary and we are more in love now than ever... We truly hope others find love like we did on EG! Thank you for putting together a place where we can connect with people and fall in love where we least expect it...on a website! Haroula & Baggelis – Haroula

Tina & yiannis71 I just about had enough of all my family telling me I needed to get married to a greek guy... why should I ? All the greek guys i had dated were a nightmare !!!! So my friend at the time advised me of this site, and that if anything it would be a laugh t set a profile up for me. I had just had enough of relationships, not finding the one, was difficault enough, but seeing the sadness on the faces of your parents, well that was a killer. So to cut a long story short, i stumbled across Yiannis, I am cypriot but born in London, and he his family is from Athens but he was born in Boston USA. Well i loved the film "my big fat greek wedding" and after watching the movie a million times, fell in love with falling in love with a greek american, and there he was, on this site. I flew there after 6 months of emailing, texting, chatting at ridiculous times, the lot, stayed there for a week,in June 2005, with his family, knew i loved him before i evan arrived, but just wanted to double check. And we got married in January 2006 in Boston USA, we now live in london and it will be our 4th wedding Anniversary in Jan 2009, we now have a beautiful little boy called Jack Vasilios Doulos, and love each other like no words can say. So dreams do come true, thank you for this wonderful website, and girls and boys, dont ever give up on that dream, someone out there is looking for exactly the same thing. All our love Yiannis & Xristina (and baby Jack) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx – Christna

From the Big Apple to Down Under, fate and Eligible Greeks bought us together... and now we're getting married! We both cant believe we found each other from opposite sides of the world with all the uncanny circumstances. Our parents are from the same village in Cyprus. This is a HUGE deal if you know what i mean! Harry's mother and my father went to school with each other when they were kids! His grandfather and mine were best friends! We've also discovered our families and friends know one another, even though they live thousands of miles apart. And to top it off, he had also dated my first cousin! I had never met Harry or had even known about this guy before EG but we were speaking over the phone almost every single day. We knew each other inside out. I was crazy about him. I was even crazy enough to book a ticket and fly to NY for the summer of 2008. We spent 2 months together and fell in love. We complimented each other in every way & had so much fun. Naturally, having to leave him was hard. I remember crying so much on the plane that I did one of those crying snorts, everyone in the seats in front of me turned back for a look! I didn't know when I would see Harry again and I guess thats where all the tears came from. Only just getting back on my feet from a two month trip, Harry bought me a ticket to NYC for Christmas! So here I am, back again with the love of my life and an unexpected rock on my finger. He proposed to me on the 21st of December whilst ice skating at the Rockerfeller Centre and I SAID YES!!!! Thank you Eligible Greeks for your fabulous site...! – helen Sophocli

Almost three years ago, I began speaking to this guy from this site. We talked almost every day for about 8 months before he decided to come and meet me. After our first date we decided we would start dating. We dated for about a month and then lost contact because he moved away. I kept in touch with his best friend and then one night about six months ago I saw him online and decided to chance a hello. We chatted for two hours that night and decided we'd try again. I went to see him last month for the first time in years. It went exceptionally well. He asked me to marry him and without pause, I said yes. In short, I have your site to thank for bringing the two of us together, Thank you very much EligibleGreeks! ~Anna – Anna Kotsalidis

Thank you eligiblegreeks.com for helping us find each other!! We had both
pretty much given up hope of finding anyone, but we had decided to give it
one more shot on this website. Lo and behold, we chatted online for a
while, then on the phone, and finally agreed to meet. And we've been
together for about a year already!

My Name is Susie, and it began when i came accross Pantelis's profile, and i thought to myself , what nice features he's got, and i went on to read hs profile - and i was struck by a feeling that this man might be honest, and kind, and to top it all quite good looking.
I sent him a flirt, and he sent me a message, and so it went on , with messeges, - until one day we both turned the webcam on, and bingo it was like cupid wanted us to be in contact.
From the beginning, we sat for hours in front of the messenger, and chatted, about eveything, its like we knew each other for a very long time, yes, a lifetime.
This was last June, we were constantly on the phones, messenger, writing to each other, and I found him to be captivating, charming, very intelligent, very concerned, and honest.
To let you in, 3 weeks ago he arrived to my country and spent 1 week together with me, and it was love at first sight,
hoping to try to figure out how we will close the gaps, and I most probably will go and live in greece, I found my soulmate, best friend, best partner, best of everything.
And just a little tip, love is splendid, the second time around.
Happy and sweet Valentine's Day,
– Susie I_S
