Selective Search gave me the one gift I could not give myself--a soul mate, to whom I am now married. I have nothing but good things to say about them. I found them in the back of Harvard Magazine years ago, filed it away for future reference, and eventually called them. I have to say that the caliber of men to whom they introduced me was always the very highest, and the staff at Selective Search was always sweet to me throughout the years I was with them, and I interacted with quite a few of them. Of all the dating services I tried, theirs was the very best, and I had very bad experiences with other companies. They did not introduce me to my soul mate right away, but that is hardly their fault--they are limited by the men who join, and the person who best fits me is a rare type. However, years down the road, the right man finally did come along, and Eileen called us with excitement, for she had a gut feeling that we were right for each other. She was right. From the moment we met to the time we were married, we spent only one day apart. This man not only met my expectations, he exceeded them. With him, to my shock, I did not have to compromise on a single thing I desired. I am amazed. Realistically speaking, this match was part God, part Selective Search, and part karma, but I have to say, without Selective Search, I would be a sad and pretty spinster or an unhappily married wife who compromised on something important, not knowing that sometimes, you can hold the world in your hands.
