Mrs. S (Amanda C.)

Placido (Cido) and I met on match.com in January 2011 when he sent me a message that I immediately ignored. I had made a promise to myself that I wouldn't answer any messages from anyone who had a shirtless picture... Needless to say, he was persistent and wore me down! It didn't take long before we exchanged our first emails...then texts...and within days phone calls. We met 9 days after we first "met" online. Our first date felt like it only lasted only minutes, when in reality we spend more than six hours talking and getting to know each other better. I never really believed that there was someone out there for everyone or you could fall in love at first sight, but now I'm a believer. I remember telling my mom and my best friends very early on (with the risk of being the crazy girl) that he was the guy I was going to marry.
