Essence Atkins 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.

Beat that, eHarmony.

TMZ has the lowdown

By TMZ.COM STAFF

(Mar. 2, 8:00PM ET) -- TMZ has heard from contestants on 'American Idol' that Ace Young has a girlfriend. They said her name is Essence Atkins, an actress who's a regular on the UPN series 'Half & Half." We went right to the source and asked Essence if Ace was a good kisser. Take a look.

And get this -- after dating for a year, Ace appeared last October on 'Half & Half' with Essence and even sang on the episode.

Essence told TMZ that on Christmas day, Ace and his four brothers make the rounds at children's hospitals in his hometown of Denver and sing Christmas carols.
