About Couple

Fun Fact: After ten years away from dating, Rhonda took a chance on matchmaking, and when she met Brandon, she said the connection was so incredible that she felt like she was “living in a fairytale.” Years later, the two say they never truly knew what love was until they found each other.

Share this real life love story.

Over 50 Dating in Washington, D.C.

When Brandon moved from Utah to the Washington, D.C. area, he saw it as an opportunity for a fresh start. After being divorced for nine years, he was open to meeting someone new and hopeful that the right connection could eventually lead to marriage.

Honest, trustworthy, and naturally funny, Brandon is a down-to-earth man who enjoys the simple things in life: a motorcycle ride, an afternoon by the pool, or a quiet evening at home. More than anything, he was ready to find someone special to share those everyday moments with.

Rhonda was entering matchmaking from a very different place.

After ten years away from dating, she was understandably nervous about putting herself back out there. But Rhonda also knew she still had so much love to give. Caring, kind, spontaneous, and adventurous, she was ready to find a genuine partner and hoped that, with the right person, marriage could once again be part of her future.

Then her matchmaker introduced her to Brandon.

They met for dinner at a restaurant, and what could have been an intimidating first date quickly became something surprisingly comfortable.

They were attracted to one another, but it was everything beyond that initial spark that made the introduction stand out. Brandon and Rhonda found an ease in their conversation and appreciated the same qualities in each other: honesty, kindness, humor, and a genuine desire for something meaningful.

Before long, they were moving beyond first-date small talk and having deep, open conversations about their lives and what they wanted for the future.

It’s Not Blind Dating. It’s Better.

For Rhonda, who had spent a decade away from dating, the connection felt almost surreal. How did her matchmaker find the man she’d been looking for? Why did this connection feel so natural to her?

“This match is unbelievable,” she shared with her matchmaking team. “I feel like I’m living in a fairytale and feel so comfortable with him.”

Brandon felt the connection, too.

Even with the challenges of coordinating around his work schedule, neither wanted to let something this promising slip away. They continued making time for each other, allowing the relationship to unfold naturally. Comfort became trust. Excitement became affection. And the possibility of finding a lasting partner became something much more real.

Better Than the Best Dating Website

Since being introduced in January, Brandon and Rhonda have continued going strong.

What began with one dinner has grown into a relationship that has changed the way they both think about love. In fact, as their relationship deepened, they found themselves saying the same thing to one another:

They didn’t know what love truly was until they met each other.

Today, Brandon and Rhonda are deeply in love, grateful that two very different new beginnings brought their paths together at exactly the right time.

Brandon was starting over in a new place. Rhonda was finding the courage to open her heart after ten years away from dating.

All it took was one introduction for both of them to discover that sometimes the love you’ve been waiting for doesn’t simply feel new.

It feels like something you’ve been waiting your whole life to find.
