Met on a Russian web page for dating. She saw my profile and wrote me first. We both were older.I was a widower and she had never been married. She wrote me everyday day for 1 1/2 years even though she did not know English. Took her about 2 hours for each letter.

Went to see her in Moscow on New Years of 2007 and then again in Turkey. We are so lucky. Very, very happy.

We met in a bar in New York City during May 2009. It was a rainy night, I really didn't want to go out but my friend really wanted. The bar was doing a "buy a beer, get a free pizza" offer. Although I almost didn't eat a slice of my pizza (he did!), we discussed a lot that night. I was so disappointed when he left, but he throught a "Email me!" (that was cute) which I did, and we met a few days later… :luv:

It was one year ago to this day I meet him in person...he was my friends cousin and they were talking about going back to Colombia to have their wedding there with friends and family and invited me to go, well they introduced me to Federico by phone (because he spoke english) in May of 2010 and then Fede found me in Facebook, there we began talking occasionally and then found out my friends were not going to get married that year in Colombia but I still wanted to go so Fede invited me to stay with him and his family.... I stayed for 2 weeks, wait 2 amazing, life changing weeks! By the end of the trip I REALLY liked him and told him my feelings and he thought I was crazy only because we lived so far (burn, I was rejected) hahaha so I left the next day and he realized he was an idiot and that he wanted to try so when I got got home from my travels to France I made arrangements to be back there for the month of June...we got engaged on the beach during the most perfect, beautiful sunset....and now the rest is history!

It's so awesome to hear everyone's stories! And it's crazy to think how people find each other in the most unusual places with there being a billion people in this world you never think growing up the love of your life would be in another country....I love life's surprises! Good forum!
