Hope its ok I post how I met my Fiancee Us guys like to tell the story sometimes too
I met her on an international dating website. Initially I looked on such sites because I didn't want to jump into a quick relationship after my divorce(18 years). I wanted the distance to serve as a buffer and encourage lots of time to get to know someone before anything serious developed. And I figured I'd be willing to fly around the world for the girl of my dreams right? I talked to a few girls, even had one get close enough that she managed to hurt me when it turned out she wasn't serious. I was hurt and kind of second guessing the idea of such a long distance relationship. I'm literally sitting there thinking I should just cancel my account on this dating site and give up...... and at that moment I got a chat invite. She says hi, I respond with hi. She then immediately asks me if I would like to video chat, probably to see if I was really the guy from the pics. It was 11am here..I had been up all night depressed and imagined I looked terrible. So I chickened out..... I declined and she immediately left the chat. I looked at her profile though..... she had a cute smile. I thought she was too young for me. But then I read her profile text and was like "wow...she really does sound...perfect". I figured, what the heck, I could use someone to talk to right now anyway. I have nothing to lose right? So I messaged her and said "Ok, I"ll video chat." She spent the next 30 minutes helping me install skype and get it configured and working. I had never used skype before. Finally we get it working and immediately I am blown away by her smile. She is kind of shy, laying on her bed with a laptop.....half hiding behind her pillow just peeking over the top of it most of the time. But when I get to see her smile....wow... her smile is so amazing. We chat for only like 10 minutes. Talked about a few things we have in common. But I can tell she is really tired..its almost midnight her time. I actually asked her "you look really tired, do you need to sleep?" I hated saying it because I was really enjoying her company, but she really did look so tired She admitted she was really tired. I told her to go ahead and sleep and asked if she would mind chatting with me again tomorrow. She agreed and logged off. I spent the entire day here..while she slept completely unable to get her smile out of my head. I was worried I looked so terrible that she was just being nice when she said she would call me..and I would never hear from her again. But sure enough, the next day(later that night for me) she did call. and we were on skype for the entire day for her there. And the next day we did it again and the next and on and on. I'm on skype with her right now while I'm typing this To this day, I still sigh every single time we log into skype and I finally see her smile again. I am so glad I found my nerve after initially chickening out. And always grateful that she found me that day. <3
A few months later, I really did fly around the world to meet the girl of my dreams(9,250 miles away in a straight line). I proposed to her on the beach, in front of her family(after getting their blessing of course).
We even have pictures of our first ever hug. I'll never forget that moment

We are hardcore gamers, and we met each other in a MMORPG, and we still play together!
The couple that play together, stay together!
