Zoosk couple of the day: Kaitlin & Benjamin from Baltimore, Maryland
Congrats to Kaitlin & Benjamin from Baltimore, Maryland, Zoosk couple of the day!
Thanks to Zoosk, my soul mate was able to find me. After having a really bad rough relationship, I was looking to quit at dating for a while. That was when I saw an interesting commercial for Zoosk. I decided to give it a try, after hearing my brothers story of meeting a lot of interesting people through online dating. I really wasn’t looking for anything serious or really a relationship, especially after the horrible one I got out of. All though I wasn’t looking for much of anything, but a close knit friendship and a relationship found me. Both of us were damaged good from past relationships, but we both blossomed together with this new relationship. We spent weekends together for a while, until we moved in together after just 5 months! We’ve been living together and nothing has changed since the day we met. I still feel the butterfly’s in my stomach when he comes home, we make each other laugh till we’re in tears, and we still love each other so much. It’s been almost one year and there will be many more to come! Two halves of the same heart, together as one. With out Zoosk, this never would have been possible! THANKS ZOOSK! ~Kaitlin & Benjamin

Zoosk couple of the day: Port Richey, Florida
Congrats to today’s happy Zoosk couple! These lovebirds hail from Port Richey, Florida!
My daughters convinced me to join Zoosk. Although I have had no luck with a couple of other dating sites in the past and pretty much had given up on meeting anyone decent, I took a chance with Zoosk. Thank goodness I did! I met an amazing man with a lot of the same interests. We met for coffee at a local diner and now we’re completely falling in love. We have plans to travel the US next summer when I retire! Thank you Zoosk!
Sincerely,
Ruth

Zoosk couple of the day: Charlotte and Sebastian from Bristol, UK
Congrats to Charlotte & Sebastian from the UK on their Zoosk relationship! <3
“She winked at me and I looked at her profile and wanted to talk to her ASAP. We flirted on Zoosk messenger for awhile before I asked her to be Facebook friends. We then exchanged phone numbers and called each other every night to say good night. We talked about when and where we could meet for the first time. It was a really good first date because we had spoken to each other so many times we both didn’t feel the pressure of the dreaded first date silence. Also seeing her pictures & being able to message her really helped to ask the first questions & break the ice. She bought me a LEGO set because I missed not having LEGO from when I was small. The whole date was perfect & after 5 dates I bottled up enough courage to ask to be my girlfriend she said YES. Zoosk thank you & good luck if you are reading this it can happen for you!” -Sebastian from Bristol, UK

Congrats to Paul and Patti! They’re engaged!
Congrats to Paul and Patti on their engagement! This Zoosk couple met last year and will be married this autumn! We were thrilled to receive a message from Paul telling us how he and Patti met:
I joined the Zoosk community in May 2010, within 2 weeks I received a simple “Hi! Saw your photo and had to at least say hello”. So I responded with “Hi, now tell me more.”
A few Zoosk mails and then emails and phone calls later we were chatting on a regular basis. I was working out of town at the time so I couldn’t even meet her for a simple coffee. One weekend I decided I couldn’t wait any longer and arranged to see her. I drove right after an evening shift at work, basically from 11pm to 8 am. We had an early breakfast meeting and ended up spending the entire day together. I then drove home that night so that I could be at work the next morning. The end result was 46 hours awake! But 100% worth it. (more…)
Tammy and JD find love on Zoosk
Dear Zoosk,
The very first minute I signed up on Zoosk, a man winked at me. His name was JD, and he lived only 30 miles from me. I thought he was cute, so I sent him a message.
That was the beginning of a great relationship.
I live in the Clarksburg area in West Virginia, and he was from Buckhannon. When we met, his smile first attracted me to him. But later, it was his personality I liked. He would say the nicest things to me when we talked! When we texted each other on the phone, he always had a comeback to things I said that would blow me away. The guy with all the lines. Couldn’t stop telling me how beautiful I was!
Our first date was a nice dinner, casual dress, at a Chinese restaurant, and we had a good time with our fortunes in the end. They were funny, and we laughed a lot! Then we went for a long ride in the country, and JD showed me where he used to be a trooper, as well as some stories about the little town he worked in.
Then he brought me home and gave me a hug and a sweet little kiss and he went home. We have been dating ever since. Every day is a good day. I am sure it will continue.
We both had been praying for someone to come into our lives, and at the same time when we needed each other the most “here we are”. It’s really special. The way he hugs me makes me want to be held by him forever. I like that.
This winter, JD asked me to marry him! We looked at rings for a long time, and he took me to jewelry store after jewelry store, just to find the right one! We act like we are 16-years-old, laughing and having a great time. My children love him. We love each other. I can’t believe I found someone so quickly! Thanks for your dating site, or I would have never met him.
Zoosk is the best! You never know from the very beginning, but sometimes you can beat all odds.
Sincerely,
Tammy and JD
Vote for Zoosk in the Final Round of the 2009 Crunchies Awards
In Bertrand Russell’s celebrated essay, “In Praise of Idleness,” the distinguished analytic philosopher and Nobel Laureate contends, quite rationally, “I think that there is far too much work done in the world, that immense harm is caused by the belief that work is virtuous. I hope that, after reading the following pages, the leaders of the YMCA will start a campaign to induce good young men to do nothing.” And, just for dramatic effect, he adds, “If so, I shall not have lived in vain.”
In response this glorious display of intellect, Zoosk responds most enthusiastically, “Hear hear!”
It appears that the folks at TechCrunch might also believe, as Russell himself did, that “Leisure is essential to civilization.” Could there be a truer truism? Purveyors of romantic leisure that we are, Zoosk is rightfully honored to have made it to the final round of voting at this year’s 2009 TechCrunch Crunchies Awards in a category we are proud to be recognized in: Best Time Sink Application.
But we also adhere to the belief that the pursuit of love is an activity that, albeit leisurely, is absolutely necessary. Plus, leisure is useful too. Sure, you can’t expense a date on the company card or charge it to your place of work as a billable hour, but the time you spend looking for love is fully compensated, at the end of the road, when you find it. So while some time may sink during the quest, that time will be worth it when you get to your final destination. Think of it as a potentially long flight that just happens to take off and land at the exact same local time, just in different time zones.
So remember, everyone, vote for Zoosk! “Each person is invited to vote once per category per day through Wednesday, January 6th at midnight PST. Once you cast a vote in a category, you are able to share your vote through Twitter and Facebook.” Put a little bit of work in for Zoosk by voting every day until January 6th, and we’ll ensure you get the best time sink application the web has to offer for as long as your heart desires. XO.
A new age of intimacy
By Anne B
Last night I sent a heartfelt text message. Not my typical behavior. I’m not a huge fan of conveying important messages via texts, but in the spirit of the rapidly approaching New Year, why not try new things? You know the kind of text message I’m talking about. The kind that you write, stare at for a minute, erase, and revise a few times before sending. This is the kind of text that you have to put a little thought into in order to avoid the very high risk that comes with messy text miscommunication.
So, there I am with the final draft of my text. I ask myself, did I say too much? No. Not enough? No, it’s good. The message is clear, and straight from my heart. Send. Wait. Fein interest in what’s playing on TV. Wait some more. Ping! I get a response. Hoping to see words of poetry echoing my sentiments, and perhaps leading to a longer exchange and then some (wink wink) I open the message to find… a smiley face. A smiley face!? What am I supposed to do with that!!?? (more…)
The Singles Guide to Surviving the Holidays
By Juliet O
Yippee! Bring out the bells, the whistles, and the fancy trays of mouth-watering, calorie-laden sweets: the end-of-year holiday season has finally arrived! As this year (and decade) draws to a close, Zoosk wishes you the happiest holiday festivities and brightest spirits and cheer that this season has to offer.
Holidays bring with them a host of holly jolly things, from parties to paid vacation to presents, but our absolute favorite aspect of the holiday season will always be the unique excitement of holiday dating. The holiday merriment rubs off on even the most incorrigible Scrooge. Who doesn’t love an eggnog, peppermint schnapps, and mistletoe-fueled adrenaline rush?
But we know that desite the amazing rewards, holiday dating is not without its challenges. We want to make the entire process of dating during this time of year as easy on you as possible. We want you to stop stressing out and focus instead on enjoying yourself. To help our Zooskers navigate and cultivate their love lives during this special time of year, we’ve created the Singles Guide to Surviving the Holidays, a downloadable PDF that you can save on your desktop and read at your own convenience, that answers some of your most pressing questions about the rules of holiday dating.

Winter is a romantic season, so take advantage of it
By Juliet O
Even though winter is cold and gray, there are plenty of fun icy-weather dates to be had during the months of December through February! Instead of putting on those extra five to ten pounds to keep your body warm in the frigid chill, why not meet someone sexy who raises your body temperature without raising your utility bills (and body mass index)? So turn on your computer and go to Zoosk, where 40 million singles are all putting their icy fingertips to the keyboard this season with one solitary purpose: meeting someone to hibernate with during the short days and loooong nights with (wink wink) of winter. Kiss seasonal depression good-bye with a hot winter date. (more…)
