First, for all those doubters out there, THIS SITE WORKS! Just give it a try! This site is
the best haven for geeks I have ever found. It is so friendly and if it had not been for
SoulGeek.com we never would have found each other!
I (EmpathicCelt) was emerging from a very lonely, dark period in my life when I first saw
the SoulGeek banner on the PvPOnline website. I joined without much hope and let my
profile just linger there for several months. Finally, after celebrating my 35th birthday I
decided I had to give the forums a shot. I dived into them and saw the name
"Hildarstarbound" in a banner stating he had suggested the name for the new
Relationship Forum, "As You Wish". That immediately stuck in my head and I started
posting.
In the forums people mentioned the chat rooms normally I avoid them but I decided,
what the hell, what have I got to lose? So I poked my head in and sure enough, I was
made very welcome and instantly made friends. It was great! Then I saw
"Hildarstarbound" pop in to the chat room and of course, I had to get to know the guy
who named the Relationship forum! He was quiet, shy, and seemed to hide in the virtual
corner. I proceeded to show him that there is nowhere to hide from an EmpathicCelt and
I'm so glad I did! After we started talking he bought Guild Wars and joined the newly
named "Soul Geeks" guild that I created and we started gaming together.
Next we were voice chatting through Soul Geek every night and it felt like we'd been
friends forever. Then phone numbers were exchanged and in a matter of weeks I
realized my day just didn't seem complete without talking to him. What amazed me is
that he seemed to feel the same way! We met face to face on November 14, 2007. (He
drove over 500 miles just to meet me!) and we have been inseparable ever since! We
even have our song - "The Way I Am" by Ingrid Michaelson.
I have my "knight", he has his "beauty", we are SOULGEEKS and we owe it all to you,
Dino, and your site!
From the bottom of our hearts... Thank You!!

P.S. We moved in together as of January 9, 2008. We built a PC Gaming Room! We're
in geek heaven!
