A HUFFINGTON 06.24.12 FEATURE_TITLE FTER A DIVORCE, dates that didn’t go anywhere, and the continued hope that she might meet someone online whom she could marry, Jodi Bourgeois met the perfect man – someone who identified himself as Greg Garic. • Garic told her that his wife had died while giving birth to their son five years earlier, and he said he hadn’t dated anyone until the day, last April, that he messaged Bourgeois on Chemistry.com. Nights of instant messaging, for three or four hours at a time, followed and Garic spoke with Bourgeois about his childhood in France, projects he worked on as an engineer, and their shared love of dogs. Bourgeois confided that she couldn’t have children.
