I got the hearts with the membership. and was afraid I would not get any hearts; I would one to myself. .I'll tell you a story. I went to Penn State University. which had about 45,000 students. At Valentines Day they had a fundraiser for the Heart Foundation. For 25 dollars, you would fill out a form about yourself---personal question, likes, dislikes, etc. And the Computer Lab. would match your up. This was in the early, mid 70's before online dating was a thing. Out of 45, 000, I did not get ONE match, not one. I cried. How in the heck can you be out in the mountains with 45,000 kids your own age and not get a match. I donated the following years and did not return the forms. I was so embarrassed. But I met husband back in Pittsburgh. in September and we married in June the next year. We have been married for 47 years.
