      I created a group called " Finding your true love." A group for those in a serious relationship.I hope many people join in and share their stories and maybe by reading their stories it could help out others in their relationships. And for those who don't have a man/woman in their lives come join us anyway, this might be your opportunity to find that Mr/Miss Right.
