When it comes to Internet dating, you never know if the other person is gonna be a plumber, an actress or someone who wants you to put the lotion in the basket -- but one lucky man found himself an actress ... and he's about to put a ring on it.
We've learned a guy named Jaime Mendez hit the Internet hookup jackpot when he met actress Essence Atkins -- who started her career on "The Cosby Show" -- on Match.com back in February 2008.
Essence tells us she liked the website because she didn't have to post a picture of herself -- and ended up sending Jamie a message on Valentine's Day because they were 97% compatible.
The two were engaged one year later and are set to get hitched on Sept 26.
It may be difficult for a porcupine-haired woman with "an obscene amount of stretch marks" and "eight fatherless kids who live in crooked houses" to get a date -- which is why Kate Gosselin* has hit up Match.com in an effort to replace Jon.
Even Jon Gosselin couldn't take Kate's chunk-striped, bi-level porcupine reverse mullet weave anymore -- as you can see in this hilarious personal video a fake Jon made for Match.com.
