It was 3 a.m. and Danielle was still awake. The 26-year-old living near the Gulf Coast in Texas had been widowed just months into her young marriage. Several years later, sustained by her prayer life and Catholic faith, she still believed in love and that God had a plan for her life. With a friend having recently reported online dating success, Danielle decided at 3 a.m. to see if it might work for her.
Victor was 29-years-old and living less than an hour away in Houston. He had dated several women, but never quite found the combination of faith and personal chemistry that he was looking for in a marriage. It was he who first noticed Danielle online, and he tried to contact her. There was no response. He tried again. Danielle, still browsing the site as free member, decided to upgrade and open a conversation with him.
After her first husband passed away, Danielle responded to a 3 a.m. inspiration and put herself into the online dating world.
