A Connection That Felt Like Electricity A story of trust, faith, and a truly meaningful match

Hello,

I’m Jennifer Lee, CEO of DUO America.

After 27 years of guiding people toward meaningful relationships,

I have come to believe one thing deeply:

True connections do not begin with conditions.

They begin in that quiet moment

when trust flows—almost beyond explanation.

Today, I would like to share one story

that has stayed in my heart.

A Phone Call in June 2025

It was June 2025, the very beginning of summer,

when I received a phone call.

“My niece-like daughter hasn’t married yet…

and I feel so worried.”

Her voice carried both concern and longing.

The woman she spoke of was accomplished—

a respected professional, well-educated,

from a wonderful family.

But time had passed.

Her parents were aging,

their health declining rapidly.

They returned to Korea for medical care,

and even underwent major surgery.

“They look at their daughter with sadness…

as if they are afraid to pressure her,”

she said quietly.

And so, an appointment was made.

A few days later, the daughter and her friend walked into our office.

The daughter looked around, wide-eyed, and said:

“Wait… where are we?

A matchmaking company? Oh my…”

To be honest, she seemed completely uninterested.

Once we were alone, she spoke firmly:

“I don’t plan to get married.”

She explained that since college,

her parents had pushed her to attend countless blind dates—

mostly with doctors and other professionals.

Over time, she simply drifted farther away

from the idea of marriage.

One Unexpected Sentence

As I listened, a thought slipped out naturally:

“Perhaps… you might connect well with an architect.”

Her expression changed instantly.

“Oh my…

That’s exactly what I said to my mother 20 years ago.

I told her, ‘Not another doctor—

I want to meet someone like an architect.’”

She stared in disbelief.

That day, she asked detailed questions

about DUO America’s process.

Before leaving, she said:

“I’ll think about it… and get back to you.”

Two weeks later, she called again.

“I would like to visit your office again. What documents do I need?”

And so, her journey began.

She wasn’t flashy or materialistic.

She was gentle, modest, and pure-hearted.

But she was also deeply intelligent, respectful,

and beautifully raised.

I remember thinking:

“She is truly a hidden gem.

I want her to meet someone who will cherish her.”

A Honest Reflection After the First Meeting

After her first introduction, she shared:

“It felt like I failed my homework…

Why couldn’t I express myself?

I feel foolish.”

Her honesty was precious.

I encouraged her softly:

“The next meeting will be better.”

And yet, something unusual was happening.

Whenever I thought of reaching out,

she would contact me first.

Our thoughts aligned again and again.

It felt… like electricity.

A deep trust was forming.

Six Months of Quiet Dating

After the second introduction, she told me:

“For six months, we haven’t even had full meals…

We just drink tea, walk in the park, and talk.”

And yesterday, she said:

“I don’t want any more profiles.

I want to seriously pursue this relationship.”

Her first meeting was in September.

And within just three months,

she had entered a sincere commitment.

A Moment of Faith and Trust

She told me:

“How do you understand my thoughts so well?

Whenever I think of contacting you,

you contact me first…

I have never experienced trust like this in my life.”

And then she said something I will never forget:

“Jennifer… I truly believe you are doing God’s work.”

For a moment, I was speechless.

If what we do is more than introductions—

if it helps someone believe in love again—

then it is a calling I can only be grateful for.

Quietly, I asked myself:

“What kind of heart do I carry,

as I guide others toward their destiny?”

Once again, I was reminded:

Some meetings are not based on conditions…

They are gentle gifts prepared by God

long before we realize.

May the journey the two of you share

end in a lifelong prayer of gratitude:

“I’m so thankful we found each other.”
