In your journey through love, you are going to meet many prospects. Some of them may seem really great at first, but turn out to be jerks later on.

Ken himself realized — without a single doubt — that I’m the one for him by the third day we got together! In fact, he already felt this way during our first few weeks of contact and was 100% affirmed of his feelings after we got attached.
