Love or Opportunity? Coffee Social

[Kev1n]

Lol, I guess it's not a great time to talk about that here, huh : All the best for your upcoming nuptials! Big wedding? Small?

My dude and I met online about two years ago. We were comfortable with each other from the beginning and connected really quickly. We fell in love after a couple of months of Skyping, I met him in the UK, and it just snowballed into a giant ball of awesome. Neither of us were the kind of people we expected to marry. I realized that he's not the "type" I thought was "my type", but he's exactly "my type"; I just didn't know it (if that makes any sense). We got engaged within six months of first talking to each other and married six months after that.

And now here we are.

Quite a small wedding,?

Tread carefully. You just told a writer to tell you a story.

Okay well. Hubby, oh heck, TONY (that's his name ) and I met back in 2006. While we had a mutal friend in common, she didn't exactly set us up or anything. He just happened to be sitting at the computer when I messaged her. He was 20, I was 17 (almost 18). Feb 11th. Yep, I know the exact date haha. But anyway, we talked and afterwards I talked to said friend and she said he is basically the male version of me, scary I know. But we became close friends, so close we called each other family "brother and sister". I dated a jerk on and off for three years, he dated some girls, obviously it never worked out. We got into a fight in summer of 2007 when he moved to Iowa, because he was being an ass to the said friend and basically everyone else. So we didn't talk for a year. Then came 2008 when I was about to have surgery and he had moved back to TN, we started talking again and became close again. In 2009, I was dumped, in the worst way possible (the jerk's mother dumped me on the phone.. nice eh?) and I sunk into clinical depression. I reached out to Tony and also to another friend and clung to them. I got the helped I needed and life went on. By April, Tony and I were talking daily. He had MSN on his Xbox 360 and we talked on that for hours. Finally one day(April 24 2010) he was on MSN on his phone and we were talking and I just blurted out "I've had a crush on you all along, but I never told you because I didn't think you'd like me that way" There was a looong pause... he replied "I..honestly felt the same about you.." Me: So how about it? Will you be my boyfriend? Him: Sure! Soo that's how we started dating He came up in August 2010 for my birthday for the first time, poor guy. Flew into Ottawa, and mentioned his girlfriend and how he wanted to move here someday.. biiig mistake. He was hounded to the point that he almost cried! When he came out he looked totally beaten down and rejected. But after spending time together and showing him Canadian life, he got better. On my birthday he took me out to a fancy place and afterwards, we walked along Lake Ontario, he kept shaking. I was getting really worried about him thinking he was going to pass out, but instead he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him Of course I said yes, then immediately called my sister screaming haha.

I've always wanted to be broken up with this way. My dream!

/end sarcasm

I'm going to avoid telling my story, because everyone I tell it to gives me a crazy look and goes "AND YOU DATED HIM?"

 

[Kev1n]

That was just for you I knew you'd get it!

Thank you and good luck at UNI.

My gf teaches English at a University in Beijing.after we first started talking, she told me at first she thought I was just a simple man, but then she realised I was self taught, lol, but really I have a problem putting sentences together..

That's adoraableeee, minus the part where the border agents were jerks to him. That part sucks. I love hearing about how people are afraid their love is unrequited but it turns out to be the opposite!

Although the first thing I noticed was that I'm older than you!! (I don't know why I assumed you were older than me.)
