Thank you for
your site |
Hi Green Singles,
I had a very positive experience with Green Singles. The men I
met were uniformly nice and honest and interesting. I am
canceling because I met someone (not through Green Singles,
though). Thank you for your site. It
helped me ease back into dating after 23 years!

long-term friendships will evolve |
Dear Mary and Alan,
I just wanted to thank you for the intelligent, caring and
supportive networking system that you provide. I have met 5 very
nice gentlemen on your site and have met two of them....both
have outstanding qualities and perhaps long-term friendships
will evolve with both. I certainly hope so. The good news is
that my former gentleman friend, with whom a had a very long
relationship with before a recent break-up (when I became a
Green Singles member) and I are reconciling now and hope to form
a stronger relationship than before. My experience with your
company has been very positive and I appreciate the many amazing
individuals who also say the same.
I wish you continued health and strength.

thank you for providing this wonderful
service. |
|
I just want to tell you how great your site is
and thank you for providing this wonderful service. I have been
using both Green Singles and several of the best-rated
mainstream dating sites (eHarmony, Chemistry and PerfectMatch)
for two months. Whereas I have wasted many hours
reviewing inappropriate profiles on the other sites and only met
one man (fun to go out to dinner with, but nothing more), I am
already communicating offline with four really interesting
prospective partners from Green
Singles. And I didn't need to spend more than a couple of hours
scanning profiles to find them. |

the
last person I've spoken to seems VERY promising |
|
Dear Mary and Alan,
I have just received my expiry notification after having
enjoyed three full months of GreenSingles. I wish to
congratulate you on the quality of your site and thank you for
the opportunities that you offer.
I had never thought of ever wanting to try online dating
mainly because of the poor quality of the sites my friends had
tried. But GreenSingles is different ...
First of all, its members seem to be mostly interested in a
meaningful and long term relationship and they all have one
thing in common, the care of our environment. Also I appreciate
the fact that you ask us to write our own profile instead of
having to choose popular answers from a scroll. It gives us a
better idea of who we are contacting and the exercise proved to
be quite therapeutic when it came my turn to write my own
profile. I enjoy the fact that people can browse the site
without having to pay, that you provide some well written smiles
and that our renewal is not automatic. All these details make
Greensingles a safe and convenient site to meet great people.
Thank you so much!
In the last 3 months I've had the opportunity to speak with
some great people but I'm excited to say that the last person
I've spoken to seems VERY promising. In fact, even though we
live 3 provinces apart from each other, after a full month of
e-mails and phone calls, we've decided to meet half way on
Easter weekend. If this relationship works out, I promise to
write our story in your Success Stories Column and if it
doesn't, I promise to renew my membership.
As a token of my appreciation, I will print and post copies
of your flyers around my home town. Being from the Maritime
provinces of Canada, I must admit that members from this area
are quite rare. But I will be proud to promote GreenSingles and
have been talking about it to many of my friends. In fact, a few
of them are thinking of signing up!
That's all for now ... hopefully I will be hearing from
others who have met on this site and the happy circle of
GreenCouples will continue to grow for many years to come!
Take good care!

- I found my success story on Green Singles. |
|
Jesse is a local musician and causal
acquaintance. We have known of each other for years. He was even
a big participant in an annual event of mine several times. But
never knew that each other was single or available.
I saw his profile on Green Singles and he
looked familiar. I liked his story and sent him a smile. When we
met a few days later, we realized we already knew each other and
had many mutual friends. Our second date was the next day and we
have been inseparable ever since. We are now engaged, will soon move in together
with all our children, and then get married next year.
Thanks Green Singles!

Much love and appreciation
to you Mary and Alan, you've done it
again... If It weren't for your
efforts no way would I ever know such a person as Zanyartist was
in this world waiting for me. I've been working gsingles for
quite a long time, don't know, maybe almost two years and have
had access to some of the most wonderful people, when I saw
Leslie's profile I had to resubscribe. We spent 4 days together,
we're in love and I'm delighted.
She will move in here and live in love with me. Ever take a vaca
come downeast to Maine coast , you've got a place to stay....FORTHEEARTH

I found the one to share my love |
This
site really does work. I have been on a myriad of single sites
and for years but when I put my profile on green singles I found
the one to share my love and existence with. Tao and I are
connected on so many plains, including our desire to live a
self-sustainable lifestyle.
We concluded that our path in life would be incomplete if we
were not able to share our resources and skills with others that
share the same deep held desires as we do. We have three hundred
acres at our disposal and we can’t think of a better way to
utilize it besides creating an ecovillage, the website is
planbecovillage.org. We are always on the lookout for like minds
and hearts with a passion and the determination to make it
happen.
All skills are desired from healers, crafters, engineers,
teachers, growers, cookers, carpenters etc… We would love to
hear from you!

I met my husband on GreenSingles |
Dear
Alan and Mary,
Another feather in your cap! Chalk up Alchemist and Leila as
another blissful success! We married on November 22, 2008 and
will have a larger Quaker re-commitment celebration on May 22,
2009 when our children and other family and friends can join us!
I joined GreenSingles early in 2008 at the nagging of my cousins
because I had had several dating disasters. My cousins insisted
that I would find "the one" on eharmony. I found that site to be
generic and disheartening, but then realized there must be
something out there for passionate committed
green singles...and,
oh my gosh! there was! I met a (certifiably) crazy person through the site and visited
them in New York in April. I was pretty shaken. But through
that, I contacted another woman who had also experienced this
crazy person and she said, "Oh dear, you will be alright and
stick with it because 3 months later, I met my husband on
GreenSingles. We are very happy and we just had a baby!" She and
her husband live in Nova Scotia. I gave things a rest but then started in again in the summer.
Alchemist contacted me on Sept 1, 2008. We met on Sept 18. Yes,
it was a whirlwind, but when you put a lot out there, you
clarify a lot of things quickly and it turns out we had
acquaintances with history in common which made the process
quicker and easier. I would never have found Tim because I would not look at men 10
years younger than myself. Luckily, Tim was more open to casting
a broad net! With our Iowa roots, our love of the Southwest and our shared
commitment to building green communities through green buildings
and landscapes (natural builder/product developer + landscape
architect) we are a strong and happy match!
Over the summer I did meet a few other thoughtful men with
integrity through GS who will remain friends and working
colleagues because of our shared interests.
We enthusiastically recommend your site to anyone who asks how
we met!
May others have similar success!
Gratefully,
Tim and Jennifer
Santa Fe, NM |

we are now inseparable |
Yes! Just when we both ready to
give up, there we were-- on Green Singles!
Some phone calls, some meetings, and we are now inseparable.
Michael will
be writing more and sending the photo. Thanks so much for your
help.
Best wishes to you, Pam
You've done it again. I was on
Greensingles for a few years, on and off. I met some interesting
women but no one who rang all the bells. Then in October I saw
Pam's profile and took a chance. Emails led to phone calls to
coffee dates and now we're in love. Pam already wrote you that
we're
inseparable! Here's a photo of we happy two. I just cancelled my
account.
Thanks for your help. Michael |

expect to
spend the rest of our lives together |
|
We met on Greensingles during the
summer of 2006 and soon became very close, in spite of living
150 miles apart. A year ago we moved in together. Being elderly
people who had previously been married and become somewhat set
in our ways, we had to make some adjustments! However, the love
we share has made it all worthwhile. We expect to spend the
rest of our lives together, living close to the earth and
sharing our interests in the environment and education. Thank
you, Greensingles!

I found my lovely bride

Alan,
I thought I had deactivated my account. I found my lovely bride
via this site back in 2006 and we were married on February 14,
2007. I think that pretty much tells
the tale of my experience with green singles.
Thanks for being there and helping us get together.

a whirlwind romance |
Hi! Just wanted to let you know that "Green Goddess Seeking Green
God" found him on GreenSingles.com in late March/early April of
2008 and after a whirlwind romance married him on 12/12/2008 at
12:12pm! I am in the process of writing a book about the
experience. Thank you for putting us
on the electronic path to our destiny together!
Happy New Year!

two Green
Single weddings in our family! |
|
We are writing to share that
in 2008 there were two Green Single weddings in our family!
I met Becca via Green Singles back in Feb
2007 and based on our success my brother Greg decided to give
the site a whirl and found a match as well.
Becca and I tied the knot in August 2008
and Greg and Amy got married shortly after in October 2008. Two
very beautiful weddings and two very happy couples! Thanks Green
Singles for a wonderful service and gift...
Namaste,
John and Becca (and Greg and Amy) |

soulmates |
We are writing to tell you about
our success story. We are true soulmates and extremely happy

issues that strained our relationship, but our love was strong
enough to get through it all and we are so glad we met on green
singles.
Thank you, Rick and Andrea |

joyfully discovering an enchanted love |
Dear
Mary and Alan,When I first joined
GreenSingles, my search found Amy right here in Salem and I
bookmarked her profile to get in touch. I also quickly received
greetings from a bunch of GreenSingles women who were near my
age, which distracted me from contacting Amy immediately.
Then PerfectMatch, where I had a profile posted but no paid
membership, sent both Amy and I an email with pictures,
informing us that they had matched us with their system. I
recognized Amy from her Green Singles photo and profile, and we
connected through your site and were walking and talking around
the University neighborhood within about 6 hours of my first
message to her. We have been joyfully
discovering an enchanted love ever since. This gift of the
Goddess worked its magic through the internet, your site, and
your good work; thank you very much for your service to this
community.
Amy and I both recommend GreenSingles to anyone who is a
position to use your website. We really appreciate the low-cost
options you offer, the well-designed site, the straightforward
caring for your customers, and the overall sense of integrity
you convey and deliver. May you prosper and have a happy life
together!
Namaste, Ray and Amy |

this
relationship is certainly the most fulfilling |
Hi
Green Singles,
In 2006, we (Artisticlyspkg and the Activator) met on Green
Singles. Actually, he was the only man on the site who lived in
my city!
He had been an environmental activist for 15 years, and been
farming for 5 years using organic, bio-intensive methods. I had
been publishing a grassroots magazine on a volunteer basis
called "Synergy" (synergymag.ca) which promotes mindful living.
We have certainly experienced 'synergy' as our passions for
creating positive change in the world have come together and
grown beyond what each of us could have accomplished on our own.
We have created a weekly radio talk show together (Heart & Mind:
Tools for Change) which is dedicated to personal and political
change, and created a farmers' market in our city this year
which we sell our organic produce at.
It hasn't been easy - we are both first children and used to
being in charge! - but this relationship is certainly the most
fulfilling. It is a relationship based on mutual respect, love,
appreciation and continual personal learning.
In appreciation, Nicole and Dirk
"What you can do, or dream you can do, begin it! Boldness has
genius, power and magic in it." |

we welcomed a
GreenSingles baby |
|
Hi, I've been meaning to
write for three years... We are a GreenSingles success story.
Trevor and I met on GreenSingles -- he was in North Bay
(Ontario), I was in Bowmanville (Ontario). He moved in a few
months later, and about a year later we welcomed a GreenSingles
baby, Nathan (born July 19, 2005). Thank you GreenSingles.

11/5/2008 - we are
lowering our carbon footprint
|
Since posting a
success story last valentine's day (we met in person after 3
months of corresponding and found each other to be kindred
spirits indeed), I thought an update would be in order - I
resigned from my job and am moving from Mississippi to Arkansas
to be with my "green single" Dave full time in the Ozark
Mountains.
It seems crazy in this recession to give up a secure job and
benefits to live a lean, green lifestyle but that has been my
longing for quite awhile. We plan to expand Dave's homestead
into a small organic farm and I can barter goat's milk for local
products. We are both involved with Heartwood and other activist
groups.
Together, we are lowering our carbon footprint quite alot, but
increasing our joy a hundredfold. And we joke that only in the
Green Singles world would the fact that Dave built his own
composting toilet be one of the things that made me want to be
with him!!
Peace, Nan (formerly "organic farmer in land of monsanto" - now
the happy occupant of "Simple Gifts Homestead") |

 Greetings! On 2-17-08 I met
the most incredible girl on here. An individual who shares my
passion for the world, punk rock, whimsical love, phantasmagoria
and euphoria. Before we met I had been going on some depressing
downward spiral. So, even though it's odd to admit, we have the
World Wide Web to thank and we send our deepest thanks to
greensingles.com. We're now engaged
and have the whole world before us. Thank you! |

an amazing
surprise and a beautiful gift |
Attila
and I met on Greensingles a year ago this week, in October of
2007. Days after we met we were talking every day, sometimes all
day, and haven't stopped since. Within a month we knew we wanted
to meet in person, so I booked a flat in London (where he lives)
and we spent just under a week together. By the fourth day of
our meeting, we were out buying engagement rings for each other
and we were engaged that night, New Year's Eve, at the Tower
Bridge in London. I have flown to London for every vacation, and
spent the summer living with him and traveling through Europe to
stay with his family in Hungary. Attila is a Hungarian citizen,
so we have spent this past year working on his fiance visa. We
hope he'll be here by the holiday season so that we can marry on
New Year's Eve, but we're blissfully happy and so grateful to
Greensingles for your open policies and communication options so
that there was never a need to feel trapped into a membership or
a fee commitment that we didn't want to make. The connection we
were able to discover and cultivate was such an amazing surprise
and a beautiful gift. We are exceedingly grateful to you for
your site and the ease with which we were both able to find each
other, halfway around the world.
We'll send the wedding photo!
Thank you so much,
Erica & Attila

I have met
quite a few people already |
Hello Mary & Alan,
I will be renewing my membership with greensingles - what a
fantastic place to meet great people! I tried another
well-publicized dating site, with little to show for an
overpriced 6-months' subscription, but through your site I have
met quite a few people already, been on some dates, get phone
calls or emails nearly every night from someone or other, and
have made several long-term friends. Everyone who has
corresponded with me has been polite, interesting, and normal
(unlike the other one.) My day-to-day life does not lend much
opportunity to meet other people who share my interests,
beliefs, and philosophies. Thank you so much for providing such
a great service at an affordable price! CeeGee |

10/1/2008 -She
is not only green, but every color of the rainbow |
Dear Green Singles:
I wish to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’ve met the
woman of my dreams! She is everything that I’ve ever wanted,
loved and respected in a woman. I love her deeply, and wish to
marry her soon. She is not only green, but every color of the
rainbow, every beautiful facet of the human spirit. I am amazed
and blessed, and pleased to report that I will no longer be
needing your services! Thank you again for introducing me to the
most wonderful woman in the world!
Sincerely, Marc |

we got
married on August 15th. |

Meant to be!
We started talking on GreenSingles the first of the year and
continued for two months until our first date which was
Valentine's Day. This was soon followed by a trip to a
botanical garden, mountaineering trips to Virginia, camping
trips in Ohio, adventure weekends in Pittsburgh, soon meeting
family and friends and later, one of us moving closer to the
other. Lewie proposed on August 2nd and we got married on August
15th. We look forward for more adventures in the future
and are even more excited for what life brings, knowing we both
have each other to share it with. This was truly a
situation of the right two people meeting at the right times in
their life. Thanks!

Magic is afoot on your web-site...I sensed this
immediately. |
Not desperately seeking a match, I
joined about a week or so ago. I
thought I could at least make some like-minded comrads. Met one
or two who's correspondence
desire and level didn't match my own...
that's ok.
Lamenting about joining a one's and zero's site to potentially
meet a romantic-minded one, I was talking myself into
deleting my account As
I scrolled through just one more page of faces of men...
just then I saw him and could
only utter one word, "Oh."
He and I have been corresponding since and a force greater than
our selves is letting us know that
this was meant to be, so we are to come
face to face Sept. 1st... but
let's just say that is icing on the cake...
I already know. He already
knows.
Thanks to your rockin' web-site.
Love and Peace to the world,

I'm happier now with the partner I've found than I ever
imagined I could be. |
|
Dear Mary and Allen,
I've just received the standard renewal
notification....and don't need it.
The truth is that I'd mostly forgotten
about Greensingles, and for good reason. About four months ago,
I began seeing someone I found on GS, and it seems to be the
perfect match for both of us. The logistics are daunting, 1300
miles and a professional license (hers) which will be difficult
to transfer to the state where I live, but we're working on
alternate solutions.
So, after what has been a four year
connection with GS (or is it 5?), quite a bit longer than I
might have hoped, your service brought me the results I had
wanted and much more: I'm happier now with the partner I've
found than I ever imagined I could be. She says the same thing,
only even more emphatically! We never ever would have found each
other without Greensingles.
With grateful thanks to you both,
Gary M. |

7/31/2008 - Recently we celebrated the anniversary during our
first backpacking trip |
I
would like to share my story with those who may be on the verge
of giving up online dating. It was a long, often discouraging,
journey for me, but I am glad that I persisted. I tried eHarmony
and Yahoo Personals before Green Singles. No matter what site I
was on, it was a repetition of either I did not feel right about
the match or the potential date suddenly disappeared into the
cyber space. I felt online dating was not for me, but loneliness
kept me from giving it up completely.
Apparently Othmar was feeling the same way. He had been on Green
Singles for more than 3 years - with no success. When I sent him
a smile, he thought I might be another one, who would contact
him initially, but would never respond to his message. It took
him 2 months to write me back. It had been a year since the
hesitant but sincere message reached me. Recently we celebrated
the anniversary during our first backpacking trip.
To those who feel like giving up online dating, please hang on.
There are thousands of members on Green Singles, who share
similar values with you. That is already a good start, and I
believe that if you are persistent, you are bound to meet
someone who is just for you.
Yoko (and Othmar) |

October, we emailed for 2 days, then spoke on the phone and fell
in love in 3 days. We met in November, he moved 1000 miles to be

are truly soul mates, but we never would have met if it wasn't
for Green Singles!

3/2/2008 - I am
hopelessly and eternally in love with a real man |
I just
cancelled my membership to Green Singles. I'd like to say Thank
You to Green Singles for helping me to find the love of my life!
I am hopelessly and eternally in love with a real man who was
previously only a figment of my imagination. Stephen and I have
found each other after a lifetime of searching for the
unconditional love and acceptance we only glimpsed in our
dreams. We compliment and complete each other in temperament and
humor. I never imagined I could find someone so perfect for me
this late in my life (I'm 49). It has only been 51 days -- we
are both still in awe of the whole process -- but we know that
our search is over.
As we embark on our future together, joyfully exploring the
unknown while cherishing the familiar, we will never forget how
we met. I am singing the praises of Green Singles to anyone who
cares to listen!
Thank you!!

Magic is everywhere |

Magic is everywhere and your site
was its means to happen to us –
through space and time, out of the blue, only as Santa can do
it. We are on both ends of the world but I have not felt another
person so close and loved so dearly and truly. I feel it every
moment and I feel it is growing, and it doesn’t matter when it
started. All we have is Today. No destination, just the journey
of Each day. Today we love each other, today it
is a ‘Success story’, it is Happiness
and it is all and only up to us to keep it, up to us to have
more and more of it, up to us to Enjoy it all. And the best is
yet to come… Magic never ends.
Namaste! Dani |

2/22/2008 - a great
relationship which appears to be "The One." |

Hi Mary and
Alan,
Thank you for making GreenSingles for people like me! As
luck, fate, angels, or whatever would have it, I met someone
within the first couple of weeks I was a member - he was also a
member- and we have created a great relationship which appears
to be "The One."
I would like to hide my profile and have it revert to a free
membership for the immediate future. I
will hide my profile and trust the world of automatic deadlines
to take care of reverting the membership to a free one.
Thanks So Much!

2/14/2008 - We
have the same core values |
Happy story!
We met thru green singles last October (when I took you advice
and sent smiles out to everyone who looked interesting, not
waiting to be contacted first!). After initial correspondance,
turns out we have a dear friend in common, who vouched for both
of us as being really who we said we were in our profiles. That
led to several months of lengthy emails, sharing of cd's and
cookies by snail mail, and finally meeting for a weekend at a
midway point in Arkansas (I am in Mississippi)at a beautiful
state park in Jan. That went so well that Dave came to my place
for a long weekend, which cemented our relationship.
We have the same core values and spirituality, and sense of
humor. We challenge each other to live ever more "green"
lifestyles, and consider ourselves a couple now and are planning
several more visits (carpooling with friends, so as to leave a
smaller carbon footprint) and combining work and pleasure to
justify the travel. Though neither of us can relocate at the
moment, it doesn't matter - we are delighted to be a part of
each other's lives, and look forward to how things will unfold.
Though it turned out we had common friends, living in different
states we would never have met were it not for Green Singles. We
tell everyone about your wonderful service. What a joy to be
with another vegetarian, btw, living in Mississippi, the land of
"big meat."
Dave and I look forward to cherishing our times together and
apart, and to dedicating our energies for the healing &
happiness of all sentient beings, including you too! Thank you!

turned out to be "a perfect fit" |
Dear Mary and Alan,
I have been very lucky and found the most wonderful man on your
web site. I was not going to use the internet, but found your ad
in the Co-op America Quarterly and it was so different and
encouraging. The first and only person I contacted turned out to
be "a perfect fit" and we are happily making long-term plans.
You may cancel my membership. You are providing a great service
by helping people to find someone like-minded. Thank you very
much! |

Our first date was wonderful |
|
Hi,
I started writing Michael the same day I
applied for a transfer within my company. He lived within 40
miles of where I would be transferring. We wrote and talked on
the phone for the two months I was still in my home state. Our
first date was wonderful and we fell deeper in love, cementing
what had been formed in long distance communication. We have
been together for six months now and got married a week ago. We
were soulmates and meant to be together and I thank Greensingles
for allowing us to meet. Looking forward to a lifetime of love
and laughter with my best friend,
Serena and Michael |

I took a chance and sent a smile. |
|
It is probably no revelation that many people search through
your site for their matches in the evening hours. One particular
evening, discouraged by the lack of available, ethical, vegan,
compassionate and environmentally-aware singles in my area, I
decided to discard the idea of geographical proximity and type
in all the characteristics that I hoped for in a mate: vegan, in
my generation, someone who has a child and who wants another
child in their lives and so on. My match appeared and he lives
in New York. I live in North Carolina. I took a chance and sent
a smile. After two and a half months of nearly nightly phone
calls that lasted 2-3 hours each and hundreds of text messages
between the two of us, this past weekend I finally met "BenNYart"
in person. I had the strange sensation of meeting someone for
the first time but with whom I already felt deeply connected -
as if we had known and cared for each other for much longer;
someone I share quirks and values with. We both decided after
this weekend together that we were very happy and that we would
delete our accounts immediately. We don't know yet what the
future holds for us but it looks promising and we both realize
that your site made it possible for us to meet. Thank you for
helping us find each other. ~ "vegmama" |

12/3/2007 - Miracles do happen |
Dear GreenSingles,
I heard about you from an acquaintance who had met her match on
Greensingles at age 67, and moved from
Maine to Vermont two years ago to marry. I had been on
several other dating sites and was discouraged and ready
to quit looking. Little did I realize
that in a short while after signing on I would meet my soulmate
on Greensingles at age 64, that he
would be across the country in Seattle and that
our phone conversations would
be so wonderfully connected that I would fly out
to meet him after just three weeks of 4 hour phone calls.
We exchanged a couple
more visits before he moved to Vermont to live with me.
We are delighted and
amazed at our good fortune in finding each other, and
full of gratitude to Greensingles for
making this great joy possible. Miracles do happen, and my
advice to all is not to give up, and to get really clear about
what matters.
Thanks, Dinny aka artseer, and Pan |

we had found the person we were
longing for |
Greetings Green Singles,
Wrensong and Dunewalker thank you for making our relationship
possible. Without your outstanding site there is no way that the
two of us would have met and fallen in love. One in Missouri and
one in Nebraska, almost 450 miles apart. We exchanged over 50
pages of email and a number of phone calls before we actually
saw each other. By our second meeting (after 7 weeks) we knew
that we had found the person we were longing for all this time.
Thanks again for making it possible for us to meet. |

(update) We're now engaged.
Thanks a bunch. |

11/28/2007- Dear Mary & Alan, I'm more than happy to inform you
of another Green Singles success story. This Kindhearted Gal met
her Counting Crow. I was on the site for a few months and had
many correspondences from interested parties in and around my
location, as well as from far and beyond. I met with a few for a
first date or two and although they were nice guys, the
connection just wasn't there. So, I decided to take a chance and
send a smile to a fellow whose profile kept grabbing my
attention (Counting Crow). It wasn't
just his inviting smile which pulled me in, but his words of
expression in his writing. He responded sort of wearily with
some concern about the fact that I was a little taller then
himself - "You do realize I'm shorter then you, don't you?", "If
this is an overlook, I understand". Well, it wasn't an overlook
and I really didn't care.
We continued our correspondences with growing intrigue. As days
turned to weeks, we began speaking on the phone about meeting
for lunch or dinner perhaps. Finally a couple months from our
first correspondence, we met. Well, we had planned to meet on an
AMC (Appalachian Mountain Club) hike, but I couldn't find the
carpool location and had no idea how to get to the hike's
starting point. I gave him a call and he came up with a
resolution to our predicament - meeting at a central location
and going on our own hike. From the moment I saw his smiling
face the attraction was apparent. I noticed too, that his grin
continue to expand as the date drew on. We had a wonderful time
on the hike and decided to extend our outing by going to a local
restaurant for a bite to eat. It was nothing fancy, but the
warmth between us was definitely
permeating. When we finally returned to our vehicles he looked
me in the eyes, leaned over and softly kissed me...
"Wow", was both our reactions!
We've been enjoying our time together thus far learning, living,
loving and being truly grateful for our connection and the
powers that brought us together. My Forever Love was found. Keep
reaching for the stars! Warmly, Lauren (Kindhearted Gal) |

a very promising and
beautiful relationship |

I just wanted to
tell you I sent a smile to a man the very first day I posted my
profile on Greensingles several month ago. Several days later he
contacted me back and we've now established what looks like a
very promising and beautiful relationship. We have agreed by way
of commitment to each other to close our accounts, so that is
what I am doing today. Thank you for establishing an internet
dating site of such consciousness and integrity that it attracts
members of the same quality. I'm thrilled with my new man.

I won't be renewing because I've met the

month of my joining--after I had been "looking" for someone for
several years. I was impressed with the many interesting people
in my area that I found on your site. I like the way you run it,
and I have referred several friends. I am happier than I've been
in many years.
Thank you!!...

thank you for connecting me |
Dear Green Singles: I want to very warmly thank you for
connecting me, Ilanit, with B. I always appreciated your
service, which is so caring of our planet and all its
inhabitants, whose members are -- all I chatted with -- very
fine people, and whose web-system has been so reliable and esay
to use. AND, it worked, because it put B and I in contact, which
I doubt would ever had happened without Green Singles! We are
very compatible indeed, and both of us "one of a kind", so not
easy to find compatibility without an excellent service like
Green Singles. Please discontinue/erase my profile, because I
found a very good man and partner. I attach photo. THANK YOU
AGAIN, ILANIT
Hey, Mary and Alan,
Thanks to you folks, I'll no longer need your swell service. So,
I'll let my membership lapse and keep my profile hidden. Best,

10/25/2007 - I
have met someone special |
Dear GreenSingles,
I am happy to report that I have met someone special through
your site and we have been dating since June. We get along very
well and it is such a pleasure for both of us to have met
someone with similar interests and dietary preferences. Thank
you for your service. I have posted your site details (the flyer
from your site) at a local natural food market and I will
continue to refer your site to those who are looking to meet
someone. Blessings for continued success!
Kind Regards, Kimberly |

10/14/2007 - we were destined to be for each other |
|
Hi Mary.
I think it's time to close my account
and thank you very much for your great service. It's true that
we could have not met without you. He, 67. divorced, lives in
California, and I, 59, divorced, live in Texas, a two thousand
mile distance. We started emailing in February 2007 and decided
to meet two months ago at his ranch in California. After that
meeting or that one week stay, we found that we were destined to
be for each other. One obstacle is the distance between Cali and
Texas. We don't want to move. Each has his/her good reasons
which are understandable by both. We, finally, agree to fly to
each other every two or three months. I'm going to fly there
again next week at his own expense just like last time. He's
generous and kind-hearted. This time, I will stay for three
weeks. Then sometime next February, he will fly over Texas to
see me. We are working on the 2000 mile obstacle. Even if we
cannot have a happy ending like other couples, we still can have
each other and enjoy our company. This arrangement is perfect in
our case and we decide that this is our only love and also our
last love.
Thank you again for your good work which
is very helpful and meaningful. Also, I would like to send my
best wishes to those green friends who are still seeking. Good
luck to you all. Keep seeking and you'll find. A happy ending is
not for everyone, but a good companion and a true soulmate can
be found by him who himself is what he is looking for. Once you
have found him or her, don't let the long distance get into your
way. Physically, you are separated but your heart and your soul
are not. That counts.

We clicked the first time we met |
|
Just to let you know that I am deleting my account,
prompted by you, because I have met someone through
GreenSingles. Daniel lives in Maine, I in Philadelphia;
he is 76, I am 65; he was divorced, I widowed. We
clicked the first time we met in Philadelphia in January and
have been seeing each other ever since. Neither of us is
willing to move, so we have a house in the city (mine) and one
in the country (his) - the best of two worlds. So far we
are willing to travel back and forth though the distance (10
hours by car; cheap flights 4 hours from his house) is an
obstacle of sorts. We are treating our new relationship
and the complications of visits as a new adventure, one
inspiring both of us. We feel amazingly young.

3/29/2007 - without this service might not have found each other |
 Hi Greensingles,
"Thank you Green Singles for helping Kristin and I connect.
Though our relationship is new, I have faith that we will have a
long and loving partnership. This confidence is based on our
shared values, lifestyle choices, and dreams. It feels wonderful
to have a 'green' partner; someone who understands and values
my efforts in support of environmental and social sustainability.
We currently live in different states, and without this service
might not have found each other. It takes a lot of courage to
buy a ticket and make a date with someone you've not met in
person (Thanks Kristin!). Fortunately, the process of mutual
exploration that starts with the profiles really does translate
into a high probability of it working out in person. I am glad
to have found someone who is available for the loving,
committed, and close relationship I've been dreaming of.
Kristin, and our relationship, feels like a dream come true. -
Shandin"
"Internet dating doesn't feel like the most romantic way to meet
a potential partner, but I am grateful
that it exists and that it helped me connect to an incredibly
beautiful, passionate, gentle man. Best
wishes for all you out there who are currently seeking love.
Have Faith. - Kristin" |

he proposed in our bean patch |
Hi Mary and Alan,
I wrote to you about a year ago to tell you I'd found him. Told
you I'd keep you posted. Well, after an amazing summer (2006) of
growing things and selling our chemical-free produce at the
local farmer's market, he proposed in our bean patch. We are
currently planning our green wedding and our second year of
farmer's markets, and we have you to thank.
Darin and I just spent the evening in the garden, as we do
almost every night. We have put up two greenhouses this season
and are working on getting a CSA started for our community.
Just wanted to let you know we never would have met if it
weren't for Greensingles.
Thank you again!

Should I be kissing a meat-eater?
Dating sites for environmentalists help separate the true
believers from the poseurs
ALEXANDRA SHIMO | Apr 2, 2007 | Mcleans Magazine, Canada
The problem with dating is that people often turn out to be not
quite as advertised. Take Steve (not his real name), an Ottawa
man in his twenties who on the surface seemed to Jodi, then a
twentysomething living in Ottawa, to be extremely promising
dating material -- attractive, funny, intelligent, kind,
generous, well-dressed and sociable. Quite a catch, in other
words. Everything seemed to be going swimmingly, but then a
small slip revealed Steve's true nature. "He flicked a cigarette
butt on the ground. How could he do that? I was aghast," said
Jodi, an environmentalist who takes her activism seriously. "He
said he was environmentally conscious, but here he was,
littering. Some people give off the green symbols, but they are
not totally green at heart."
To find a more authentic greenie, Jodi joined
GreenSingles, one
of the growing number of social and professional networking
groups serving environmentalists, tree huggers, vegans,
fruitarians, vegetarians and raw-food vegetarians who would like
to meet people of similar interests. She is also a member of
veggielove.com, a
dating site for vegetarians.
Green dating is the latest manifestation of a movement that has
become akin to a secular religion, says Keith Neuman,
vice-president, public affairs group, for Environics Research
Group. The growing popularity of environmentalism in Canada has
likely helped these sites become more popular, he adds. The
group Green Drinks has branches in 22 countries, including the
U.K., the U.S. and Canada. Since opening its first Canadian
branch in Vancouver in February 2005, it has spread across the
country with 20 new chapters nationwide.
GreenSingles
boasts similar expansion. "We've grown about 20 per cent every
year in the last three years," says founder Lee Schulman from
his Ohio-based office. "We are now in every province in Canada
and right across the United States."
GreenSingles, which is owned and operated by vegetarians, lets
members choose a gay or straight match from any age group within
Europe, Canada, or across the U.S. Other networking sites allow
members to further refine their search. The website
loveisgreen.org lets participants search for gay or straight
dates, relationships or polyamorous relationships, or dates from
any age group and a variety of lifestyle choices. Categories
include almost-vegetarian, vegetarian, almost-vegan, vegan,
raw-food vegetarian, raw-food vegan and fruitarian. Love is
Green did not return Maclean's requests for an interview, though
their on-site mandate makes clear why they believe such an
extensive list of choices is necessary. " 'Love is blind.' We
don't think so. Even love can't ignore certain facts like e.g.
the treatment of (non-human) animals."
Jodi, who works as an advertising representative for an Ontario
newspaper and runs a store specializing in hemp products, has
not yet found a green soulmate online, but has found like-minded
friends. The websites also provide an outlet for discussing the
trials and tribulations of the green lifestyle -- the morality,
for instance, of kissing a "meat-eater" and the dearth of
non-gay vegetarian men in the southern United States.
As with religion, environmentalists have a wide range of
perspectives, says Neuman, some more extreme than others. When
opinions differ, it can put a strain on the relationship.
Brenna, 26, a Toronto environmental researcher, has a boyfriend
who shares many of her ecological beliefs. Like her, he recycles
almost everything, prefers to walk rather than drive, and tries
to eat vegetarian. Brenna is concerned, however, that he may not
be as serious about saving the world as she is. The conflict is
over showering. While she takes very short showers -- about five
minutes -- to conserve water, he likes to enjoy much longer
ones. "The long showers have been a sticking point with us. It
bothers me. I thought when we started dating he was more
environmentally friendly than he is. Environmental beliefs are a
big part of who I am."
Jodi concurs. "The problem is that environmentalists don't go
around with signs around their necks. They might wear hemp
clothing or batik jewellery, but you just don't know whether
they are completely committed. These sites are really useful to
find those who walk the walk, rather than trendies who just look
the part." |

Dear Mary and Alan,
It is with great fondness and gratitude that I bid you adieu,
and close my account. I joined GreenSingles.com in November of
2002. I’d been divorced for several years, and hadn’t been
meeting men that resonated with me.
Over the course of my membership, I met several men that I still
hold in high regard, even though things did not work out for a
lasting relationship. One or two will hold especially fond
memories. In addition to that, I met one man that is a good
friend. Along the way, there were a few dates that, while not my
cup of tea, will provide humor should I ever decide to write my
memoirs!
I had also tried other sites, one of which promised to match
people based on compatibility, but none could compete with the
consistent quality of the membership of your site.
My last GreenSingles date, “Jack826,” (though still Green) is no
longer single, and neither am I! He first contacted me in June
of 2005, and we were married in October of 2006. I’ve only kept
my free membership this long to occasionally peruse the early
correspondence between my husband and me.
Thanks again for everything.
With Gratitude and Love, “Leela” |

2/14/2007 - Hi
Mary & Alan,
I just deleted my account and wanted you to know why. I enjoyed
my time with Greensingles and met some super, really truly
truly, super people. My kind of people. Nothing but great things
to say about Greensingles. Out of all the online services I have
used over the years yours was by far the best. The only reason I
am not doing it anymore is cuz I'm just burned out on the whole
on-line thing. I seem to do much better in real life, close up
and personal situations.
So good luck and thank you for all you've done!! Laura |

- Subject - a great love story (for
Valentines Day)
Message - I feel like this should have been
written so long ago. I contacted Rob
on this site in June of 04, met face to face July 26/04 and were
married on May24,05. We just moved into our new home that
we built in the woods near Bellingham
Wa. I had joined green singles twice and met a few
people for coffee and that was it. I was recovering from
back surgery and decided to join again
just to have something to do in the middle of the
night when I was bored. You're someone new in the area
alerted me to Rob's new listing. I was
somewhat amused as new to my area was really 350 miles
away. I never answered ads without pictures but, his
profile was so sweet and honest I
thought I would take a chance. This morning I awoke to the
most honest, sincere, healthy happy Valentine ever!
I have told many people about you and
I know a few have also met there true
love. Rob even mentioned you during the wedding. Thank
you so from Rob and me, I can't say we
never would have met without your help, we just may have
been too old to do anything fun.
Sincerely, Cindy and Rob |

2/8/2007 - NOW Toronto Magazine
Q
Where can a girl find a cute
earth-conscious guy who doesn't drive a gas guzzler or chain
himself to a tree?
A
Nothing like a holiday dedicated to romance to freak singles out
about the slim pickin's in their immediate vicinity. But the
Valentine's Day build-up can be even more of a headache for
anyone with extra dating filters - you know, like if you'll only
smooch non-smoking vegan environmentalist cat- lovers.
First of all, you've got to
establish realistic expectations that are right for you. Maybe
you don't mind a guy who eats chicken as long as he recycles
fervently and bikes to work.
And make sure to allow room for
improvement. He may not turn the lights off as often as he
should, but you can work on that. You never know, perhaps he's
not aware of how polluting his water bottle habit/running toilet
is. The critical factor here is that the person is open to new
ideas and won't pop a blood vessel when you suggest a switch to
compact fluorescent bulbs.
But where do you find such a
guy – or girl? (This applies to you, too, single boys.) Well,
you can rule out most typical pickup joints, although you might
find cute artsy types with a conscience at places like the
Social or the Gladstone, depending on the night. Check the
listings for eco fundraisers or carbon-neutral band nights (not
sure if those actually exist, but you get the point). Or do a
little cruisin' at vegetarian restaurants. (Hey, people often
eat lunch alone and might enjoy a friendly, non-creepy
conversation!)
Really, one of the best ways to
find tree-hugging men and women is go straight to the source -
volunteer at an environmental org. This way, you can pick the
degree of activism you feel comfortable with. Not into the
radical tree-chainers? That's okay, just suss out the
level-headed folk at more mainstream groups like Sierra Club.
Or get your hands dirty and
join restoration efforts in your area (you never know, all that
sweaty tree planting and litter collecting could be sexy, or at
least an ice breaker). The Ontario Environment Network lists
nearly 1,000 eco orgs across the province (www.oen.ca), be they
habitat restorers or pollution probers.
Like fresh-air, active types?
Join hiking, biking or canoeing troups. The Toronto Bicycling
Network doesn't just hold Friday-night rides; it also hosts
cross-country ski expeditions and weekend getaways (www.tbn.ca).
Of course, I must reiterate
that none of the above groups want their events or meetings
turned into predatory meat markets. I'm just saying they provide
potential exposure to like-minded people. Green Drinks nights
are another good way to broaden your social circle. Every third
Wednesday of the month, enviro professionals and greenies meet
up for cocktails at the Bedford Academy on Prince Arthur for
after-work pints. Average attendance is said to be between 70 to
100, and there are always lots of new faces (www.greendrinks.org).
The only surefire way to know
you're mingling with Inconvenient Truthies who are also single
and willing to be hit on is to check out some green singles
networks. Yes, they exist! Wouldn't you know it, online dating
has also gone to the bird-lovers.
GreenSingles.com
is probably the biggest online eco dating network, with
countless tree-huggin' men and women in the Toronto area (and
around the world) to pick from. You'll find every type here from
clean-cut therapists to grizzly mountain men – none of whom
you'll have to debate on the validity of climate change science
(phew). EarthWiseSingles.com has a few dozen across the
province. Greenpassions.com has only a handful of single peeps
in T.O. posted this week.
Greenfriends.com is a veggie
environmentalist site whose motto is "Where vegetarian friends
and singles feel at home." Lovesorganic.com is another
meat-free, earth-conscious singles network.
Loveisgreen.org has fewer
listings for Toronto but lets |
