“I went into my consultation with Best Boston Singles with a great deal of skepticism and hesitation. I had always imagined myself getting married and having kids. But then I got sick and those plans were put on hold as I tried to figure out how to live with what turned out to be a rare condition that would significantly impact my day-to-day-life for the rest of my life.
Things become so difficult that I had convinced myself that no one would be able to, or willing to be my life partner. But then last summer, a very good friend shared with me how worried she was that I had resigned myself to a life of single hood. She was convinced that I could find someone who could and would love me despite my medical challenges -- I just needed some help getting back into the game. Hence, my initial consultation with Brenan at Best Boston Singles .
I really didn’t think she’d be able to find anyone for me. I also didn’t know what to make of asking someone to pair me with someone. I’d done a couple of online dating services in previous years but abandoned them because they were frankly too much work. Brenan listened intently to me and, despite being handed a couple of difficult non-negotiable items about any potential match, told me that she was convinced she could find a good match for me. She was emphatic and passionate about getting me to believe that I had the right to be loved by someone regardless of my medical situation.
Even after our long consultation, I was skeptical and hesitant but figured I had nothing to loose. I allowed myself to entertain the notion that she might eventually be able to find one or two matches.
...Fast-forward a year, and I’m a month away from celebrating my one-year anniversary with that initial match and we‘ll be moving in together in the next couple of months. How common my situation is -- a long-term relationship occurring with the first match, I don’t know. Truth be told, had I met him on my own somewhere in public, I don’t know that I would have dated him or given him the time of day because he wasn‘t necessarily what I had pictured in my mind. However, it quickly became apparent that he is fundamentally what I want in a life-long partner, and I credit Brenan for making it possible for putting us on the path that allowed us to discover how great we are as a couple.”
