I have a question for fellow K1'ers

[TBoneTX 43,048]

Very small International Marriage Broker operation dealing only with Ecuador. In my first phone conversation with her (at $1 per hour), she said, in her rusty English, "T-B., whatever happens between us, promise me one thing: Please don't ever lie to me." This was the polar opposite of the attitudes of the psycho U.S. whackettes that I'd sworn off. I thought distinctly, "This could be the final Mrs. T-B., si man." And, so far, she is, si man.

Yesterday, she told me, "I bought you cheap." While probably true, it really meant "I went to the supermarket and bought chips for you," si man.

We met playing world of warcraft - I've noticed a cpl of others have too (yay for gaming geeks finding love online )

He joined our guild and we started chatting during our first raid - turns out he thought i had a cute accent on vent.

After we finished killing things we kept talking, 14 hrs later we were still talking and needed to go to work ...

Been talking ever since

There are some really cool stories here. I also never realized sooo many people met online. I am in the Navy, and was on assignment in Ethiopia while in the middle of a Divorce with my Ex, and was set up on a blind date with my current Fiance. I wasn't looking for a relationship and neither was she. I was with a group of military(Navy and Army)friends who were going out to meet some girls from the night before(who I thought were prostitutes), wanted nothing to do with that, and almost stayed at our team house. Later I found out that her friends tricked her, and she did not know guys were coming over. When we first met, the group of us had some wine, I said "Wow, I like this stuff". She said "You don't know what you are talking about, it is cheap and lousy". That was all we said to each other for about 3 hours. At one point she got up and left, not wanting to be there. Her Friend(who tricked her into coming over by saying it was a coffee ceremony) went and begged her to come back, just for 1 evening.

All 6 of us went out, had a couple drinks, she started talking, we all laughed and had a good time. I told her "Don't worry, I am not looking for anyone right now, trying to fix things with my wife and I have kids. I just want a friend to hang with for a couple months. She was like "I have all the guy Friends I need". And she did too. But not intimate. Long story short, both of us were hiding behind "we aren't interested in a relationship", we let our guard down, and the rest is History. She has more Character, integrity, and loyalty then any woman I have ever met. And is Beautiful too. So 3.5 months later, the day before I left Ethiopia, I proposed, and she Accepted.

Some of the replies here are brilliant and uplifting. It's amazing to see how many of us met online!

[K&E2009 71]

We met when we were both teaching English in Korea, back in 2008.

[Team Katman 9]

We met while I was working/living in the US. My roommate invited a group of her friends over one night to watch movies, and he was one of them.

We met on plentyoffish and I cast a wide net at first; but everything I caught I threw back into the sea. Then I started using my fishing rod and I finally caught the most Exotic & Beautiful fish in the entire ocean. Needless to say I never let this one go back and I'm keeping her forever.

P.S. No I won't give you the formula to my secret bait mixture.

[Stuart and Thea 95]

I got a picture in my mind of you sitting in prison and chating on the computer . I just kept going till a few posts later someone said "penpal"

Hahaha, I did the exact same thing!

Stuart and I met on a game called Evony that had a chat feature. I was host of an alliance and he was in an enemy alliance that I was doing some diplomacy with but we weren't really talking a lot. One night a friend of mine was being chewed out on the global chat and he jumped to her defence. I thanked him, and we chatted for a while. We kept talking every day, and exchanged Facebook and phone numbers. Our first phone bill was two thousand dollars. (yeah, he still shoots himself over that one, and now has a plan) I went to California for a week with a girlfriend, and didn't talk to him for a week, and really, really missed him. He kept saying things like "that's why I love you," and "love you babe" on the phone, very nonchalant, and I asked him, point blank, "do you?"

Silence. Complete and utter silence and just when I thought I had ruined it, he said, "yes, I do, I really do." We made plans to meet in person later that same month, and it was everything I could have ever hoped for and dreamed of.

I always said that all the good guys were either gay or taken, little did I realise that some of them just live impossibly far away!

We met because we lived right across the street from each other. I lived there for about a year and never noticed him until one day he was outside playing soccer with a kid similar in age to my son (who was 3 at the time). My son wanted to go over a play and so we walked across the street and while the two boys played, the guy and I started chatting and never stopped! He's a great dad to my son (who's real dad left when he was 2) and now we have a 2 year old son together. It was the best move I ever made.

We met when his family moved to NZ when we were kids. We were at the same school together for 4 years. Later he moved away and we went to different high schools, but kept in contact. We lost contact when he returned to live in the US. We had both started travelling in our late teens and without knowing we have since discovered we travelled a lot of the same roads in the US and Canada at the same time. We have since both been married and had kids and we finally met up again online in 2009. We chatted and skyped every day for hours at the end of each working day and all weekend for 5 months before I flew to the US so we could meet up again.
