Gina & John: "Pray for the kind of person you are looking for!"

How did you meet? What was your first date like? Give us all the details!
I received a message from Gina on Christian Mingle on March 30, 2014 saying, “I am new at this, but I couldn’t help saying, Hi! What’s your name?” That was it! Our first date was the following Saturday. We met at La Tuna, a restaurant near Gina’s home. I was thinking I would meet her for about an hour. We ordered drinks and appetizers. We hardly touched the appetizers. We spent the whole time talking and  then we took a walk on the San Antonio River. We ended up spending five hours together.

Describe the moment you knew it was true love!
I pretty much knew from the get go. Gina was great! She was fun and so easy to talk to. We would talk many nights until 3 or 4 in the morning. I lived three hours away, but I spent most weekends in San Antonio with Gina and our kids. Gina was showing her friends my picture and telling them, “This might be the one.”

What advice would you give other Christian Mingle members?
Don’t try and make it happen. Be real and authentic. Most importantly, pray for the kind of person you are looking for. He or she is out there.
