Daters can convince themselves that the impossible can happen. Michael was one such person (until he used our services and had a ‘reality check’): he met Celia on line and it turned out that they had friends in common; thus, Michael was able to confirm that her husband had indeed embezzled money out of their jointly owned company and she was indeed widowed.
