If You Ask Jeremiah: It all started with a sibling intervention. After being cornered by my two younger sisters about my nonexistent dating life I was convinced to join the online dating world. Having never done any online dating before, I had huge concerns about being catfished!

Little did I know this would be the route that led me to the woman of my dreams. Once we matched, we immediately started messaging each other. She then asked her first series of questions "are you a real one? I see in your profile you associate yourself as a Pentecostal/Apostolic Christian. Are you a one-ness believer?" I was instantly intrigued because I had not come across any girls with the same faith as me on the app. After messaging each other for a few days I finally mustered up the courage and asked her for her phone number and to meet in person.

We agreed to meet somewhere public, at a Baskin Robbins just minutes away from her house. I still remember seeing her for the first time and I thought "Wow, this girl is even more beautiful in person." I still remember our ice cream order; she had two scoops, mint chip and bubble gum, and I had a scoop of cookies n' cream.

After meeting her in person, I thought things had gone well but to my unfortunate surprise she had felt differently. I knew right away I wanted to pursue a relationship with her, but she seemed very cautious and did not immediately reciprocate. I felt a little discouraged and started to pray about it and asked the Lord to remove the scales from her eyes so she could see the treasure that she had before her ;)

After much prayer, those scales were completely removed! It was then I went for the kill and asked to her to be my girlfriend.

Fast forward to seven months later, I asked Valeria Barrera, this anointed, God-fearing, gorgeous woman of mine to become my wife, and I asked her to marry me! The rest was as they say, History!

If you ask Valeria: Well, I went into 2023 believing I would find my man. After 5 months in and no success, my girls and I decided we would try out the online dating world. After downloading the app, I immediately second guessed my decision. I deleted the app that same night. The next day I got a little curious and decided to re-download the app. Before making my profile live, I prayed about it and told the Lord I was only going to be on here for one week before I gave up on this crazy idea.

Low and behold, I matched with Jeremiah that 1st night. First thing’s first, I had to make sure he was an “Apostolic Pentecostal Oneness believer”, no compromising. So that’s what I did, I messaged him and asked just that. To my pleasant surprise, he said that he was. This unicorn of a man and treasure from heaven was not too good to be true! He was the real deal! We soon met in person for the first time, and he suggested my favorite thing, ICE CREAM! I’d say he was spirit led but that’s just my thought.

Going in I must say I was a little guarded, but my man Jeremiah consistently did a great job sweeping me off my feet and winning me over. It took some time to win me over, but when I finally fell… I fell HARD!
