It all started with a computer, which isn't really all that surprising given my background. I've got more computers than most people have televisions. I decided to try eHarmony.com.

I had tried it before when the service was new, but I had tried it a little too early, and it only provided matches in far off places. In late 2004, I decided to give it another try.

To my surprise, I found an incredible woman. She was smart, witty, passionate about life, cute, and best of all we could just talk for hours... without any effort.

Our first date went well. Our second date went great, and on our third date, we spent 4 hours on the shores of Lake Geneva talking about random topics. I think we both knew early on that this was unlike any relationship we'd ever had before.

You always hear from other people that "you'll just know" and I thought these people were crazy... That is I thought they were crazy until I met Roberta.
