I was what you would call a frustrated online dater in New York City. For seven good years I spent so much time and money trying different websites and doing everything I could to find a decent man. It was all to no avail until one day, on a snowy cold January day, I woke up and told myself that this year was going to be different. I made a promise to myself that I was going to try something different, something that I had never done before. Perhaps you have heard the saying: '' If you want something different, you are going to have to try something different''.  On that very day, I registered for OKCupid, probably for the 100th time, but this time, I posted my profile in Germany. I gave up on dating in New York City and decided to try my luck at matching with men in Germany. To my shock and surprise, within just 24 hours, my now husband had reached out to me and had written such a polite and friendly message. We began to communicate and I knew right from the beginning of our correspondence, that he was the ONE. Long story short, we are now married with two beautiful children and live together in Germany. Our marriage is a richly mixed one with his German Bavarian culture and my Nigerian-American flair. If you'd like to know more about my story, please check out my YouTube channel and podcast where I share more details of how we met and dated long distance.

My story though unique, it is not impossible for you to also achieve. You need to have the right strategies to be able to read between the lines and understand when you are talking to a serious vs a non-serious man. Online dating can be very difficult and spirit crushing. However I want you to use my story as inspiration to keep going because somewhere out there is your prince, waiting for his long lost princess!
