Why I fell in love with my MENA man/woman

[Leyla 0]

It's that time again (I'm sure it's been done before lol). It's time to share our sappy love stories or little things that just make you LOVVVEEE your SO.

Tarik and Michelle:

One thing that just made me melt was how Tarik would send me cheesy ol' 80's love songs while we were apart for a year and a half

I fell in love with my husband because he was pure. A hard find these days.

I fell in love with my husband after talking for hours and hours every single night. It was gradual at first but then grew stronger. Each day is another day that I fall in love with him. We both have a passion for music and he used to sing a song to me every night which I thought was terribly sweet.

He was always so patient with me and my questions about culture and religion and we always shared a laugh over something he pronounced wrong. It's funny how someone so far away from you can make you feel so close and comfortable. I always say we fell in love under the stars because I was out on my balcony one summer night when I realized how much I really loved him

I'll have him write why he loves me later when he comes online

I fell in love with Mohamed he is the most caring and romantic man that I had been with. I saw that his family had such a loving and close relationship together ! We have had such wonderful times together in Egypt and now here. We are getting ready to celebrate our 1st year anniversary !

I fell in love with him because he was so different than anyone I had ever met. I don't know how I could tell at first, just over the internet (webcam), but I could. One day I realized one of my shirt buttons was undone, and apologized to him as I buttoned it up. He appreciated it. Not like some guys, who would've made some lame comment about how I should unbutton more instead. He also thanked me for leaving the view of the camera to change into my pajamas one night. I'll never forget that, even though it was almost 3 years ago. It was and is so wonderful to be with someone who RESPECTS me, as well as himself.

I also love how down to earth he is. He doesn't try to show off, never tried to impress me with things (like most people, I would've been able to see through something like that anyway). I'm not the type of person who is impressed with money, flashy/showy things, etc. What impresses me about him is that he's sweet, smart, loving, and respectable. Over the last few years, I've been very impressed with him - the way he handles things, his willingness to stick it out through all the ####### we've had to deal with, the way he's not afraid to try things, how much he knows, how much he's learning... just as examples.

I also loved the way he could calm me down or lift me up, even over the computer or phone. I was going through a rough time, and he made it so much easier, even before he got here.

I couldn't imagine life without him.

I think the thing that intrigued me the most about him, was how nieve he was. It made him more honest, more up front, and more fun I also loved it when we would be chatting via webcam and he would do all of this weird made up "sign language" that I began to understand. We still do that He's like a mature child (if that makes sense). I can laugh at him, with him and because of him. He makes me want to be the best I can be and yet he makes me feel happy being who I am.
