atch Made in Heaven: One Boy's Quest for a Girlfriend Ever since he was old enough to understand the concept of romantic love, Tim had been obsessed with finding a girlfriend. He pored over dating websites, attended speed-dating events and even tried his luck at his local bar, but nothing seemed to be working out. That is, until he met Jane. Jane was everything Tim had ever looked for in a woman; she was smart, funny and kind-hearted. They shared similar interests in music, movies and travel, and Tim found himself talking to her for hours on end. He knew he had to ask her out on a date before he lost his nerve, and so he did. To his delight, Jane agreed to go out with him, and they hit it off immediately. They went to see a movie, then went out for dinner and drinks afterwards, and before long they were inseparable. Tim was amazed at how easily he could talk to Jane, and how much they had in common. It seemed like the perfect match. As the weeks and months rolled by, Tim and Jane grew closer and closer. They went on long walks together, had picnics in the park and even took a weekend trip to the beach. Tim couldn't believe his luck in finding someone like Jane, and his life had never been better. Eventually, Tim gathered the courage to ask Jane to be his girlfriend, and she agreed with a smile. From that day on, they were officially a couple, and Tim was over the moon. Looking back on the experience, Tim realizes that finding love is not about luck, but about putting yourself out there and taking risks. He had been too afraid of rejection to approach women in the past, but once he had summoned the courage to do so, he found the girl of his dreams. He was grateful every day for the match he had made with Jane, and knew that they would make each other happy for a long time to come.
