I guess we have this in common too Zee... I did not meet Kobby on-line either.

I grew up across the street from my Ghanaian friends (and attended school with them) for nearly 25 years. ( side note: my friends and their family traveled often to Ghana on summer vacation. I remember being 11 years old and crying because I could not accompany them one summer break )

I was immersed in the Ghanaian culture attending outdoorings and the like... I've been known to pass as an authentic Ghanaian ... and given by ancestry, I now know why

Anyway...I finally had gotten the opportunity to visit Ghana in August of 2006. I was tooo thrilled . I of course traveled with my surrogate family and stayed at their compound. I spent a little over three weeks there. Two or three days before I left Ghana, I went to an internet cafe in Kwabenya, Accra (walking distance from where I stayed), and this tall/handsome guy walks in. Of course I noticed him because there wasn't many tall people in the area. Kobby is around 6"2 .

We did not say all that much to each other that day. Between you and me, he did not look so friendly . Anyway, Mr. Kobby left that day obviously smitten. I really did not think much of him past that moment... I was already jaded from all the guys who tried to "get with me" during my short time there. Needless to say, Kobby was only momentary eye candy

After meeting me, Kobby had a conversation about me with his uncle's friend. He explained to him that he met this Jamaican girl in the cafe...yada yada yada. Divine intervention I guess... because I had already met his uncle's friend who happen to be close friends with my friends mother. He recognized me from Kobby's description and told him that he could formally introduce him. Unfortunately I left sooner than they both expected and when he got to my friend's mom's compound, my friend and I had already left . My friends mother, being the matchmaker that she is, thought that he was my type and decided that Kobby should return with his picture (just in case I forgot who he was) with his contact info. She promised Kobby that I would call. The nerve!

Long story short...I promised my friends mom that I would call him. I was not enthused . We started talking and hundreds of phone cards later...

I had already planned to return to Ghana for a month and half, well before I left for the US. But when Kobby and I hit it off unexpectedly well...I stayed three months!

I am just mad that I have to wait 2years to go back again with the travel restrictions! Of course he only wants to go back when he has made some accomplishments here and loads of money saved! ...Yeah I might have to go without him!

Well....That's all folks..... The saga continues...

Wow. Looks like a lot of people met online. We didn't

My whole family lives in Ghana (except for a few extended family members and my family) so I tend to go to Ghana every year. My aunt was scheduled to have surgery and I volunteered to travel with her to the city where she would have the surgery. After she was discharged from the hospital my cousin (her son) came over on the weekend to see her and brought his friend (his family's house is literally next door to where we were staying). I remember thinking to myself "great, another friend" My experience with my cousin's friends has always been that they want to "impress" the American girl. So they come along with their fake accents and try to use words they do not understand and basically talk gibberish This is what I was expecting but I was pleasantly surprised

At first I did not want to do the long distance thing. I was not convinced that he would have enough incentive to maintain a relationship given that we really did not get to spend much time together. I felt that it was going a little too fast for me, but he was convinced from the moment he met me. Poor thing, I rejected him sooooo many times and I am truly blessed that I came to my senses before he decided I was not worth it. After I left Ghana we started talking on a regular basis and after a few months we decided that we wanted to make this permanent

We met in South Africa at a Youth With a Mission base ( a training center/college for Christian ministries).

I met my husband from his mother. She and I worked together, well almost 3 or 4 years ago. She kept saying she wanted to introduce me to her son. I kept avoiding the subject, because I thought he may be ugly or fat. I didn't want to just agree to meeting some man that I had no clue what he looked like. She asked me for my email address some time later, so her son could email me. She kept saying oh I'm going to give my son your email address, I think you two should meet, you are the same age.

One day I was at her house looking through a lot of old pictures and found a few of her son as a baby and up til about 4 or 5 yrs of age. I told her, your son is so cute, I have to meet him. Still she had never gave him my email address after she asked for it. Many months later, I brought my kids over to her house to so her daughter could watch them and she happened to be talking to him on the phone and she asked that I get on the phone and say hi to him. We exchanged email addresses and the rest is history! He told me that she asked for his email address to give to me and kept saying I have this real nice friend that I want you to meet, she is a nice person, yada, yada. But she never gave it to me, so he blew it off and thought she was full of it.

Anyway that is our story, I went to Ghana by myself, 9 months after we were introduced. His mom called often to make sure he was taking good care of me while I was there. What was she thinking of course he was
