Over the past few years, I have tried several dating sites, but struggled in finding someone I could really connect to. I had become extremely frustrated and tired of dating, so I deleted my account on the app I was currently using. I was going to give dating a break altogether. I had made an account on FarmersOnly once, years ago, but I've never lived on a farm or in the country. I was just on there because I am drawn to the outdoors, and I appreciate the value of hard work. I wanted a partner who felt the same - I thought a farmer or countryman would probably have similar interests. I quickly deleted my account because I felt like a fraud. However, Christmas day of last year, a FarmersOnly commercial convinced me to give it another shot. I created an account that night and the very next morning, I met the man I had been searching for.
My fiance, Cheyne, had dating experiences similar to mine. He had met people who were almost what he was looking for, but there was always something missing. On Christmas day, his mother suggested that he try FarmersOnly. Cheyne was a bit hesitant, because he isn't a farmer either, but he grew up on a ranch and knew that he wanted to one day have his own ranch. So he created an account the day after Christmas. He wrote to me that day and we immediately hit it off. He was the first and only person I had a real conversation with, and I was the same for him. He had all the traits I always knew I wanted - a combination of characteristics that others told me was "unrealistic." Our conversation was effortless; the messages were long and went beyond the typical small talk. We began texting the next day and continued having amazing conversation. Our first phone call was three days after we first talked online, and, not surprisingly, it was not in the least bit awkward or forced. Our second phone call lasted 9.5 hours - we stayed up until 3:00 am sharing our hopes, disappointments, dreams, and interests. Though we played coy, we both knew exactly where this was going. It wasn't even a week later that we started talking about a future together. Within 10 days, we were already discussing marriage and children. We met in person after about a month and it was everything we had imagined it would be. It is true what they say - when you know, you know.
Cheyne and I got engaged last month and we will be married this June at his parents' ranch in Idaho. Thank you FarmersOnly! I have found the man I've been searching for. I am so grateful.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
