I was all excited to meet my girlfriend (now Fiancee) . I looked for flowers at the manila airport but could not find a flower shop , so I settled for chocolates . I guess I was easy to spot since I was the only non-pillipino on the plane from manila to gensan . After going through customs , I was looking for my honey amoung the crowd .Then suddenly some one held my hand and give me a hug . Since she came alone , the ride in the taxi to my hotel --I kept telling her how beautiful she looked in person and chatted all the way . It was a memeorable experience that will live with me .

The first time I had arrived to meet my wife, I guess she got caught in traffic on the way to the airport. I had begun to think that after 45 minutes of waiting that she wasn't going to show up, and I'd have to get to my hotel, but eventually she did arrive. It was one of those 'slow-motion' moments when she walked up to me and we started talking face to face for the first time. To this day, however, she says that I didn't hug her like I said I would when I met her, but if you've stood in the NAIA waiting area for 45 mins (with no electric fan) you wouldn't want a hug, you'd want a shower.

Well it was interesting reading about the first time meeting after an online romance.

I also learned that people who don't like public displays of affection cannot even bring themselves to speak the words, and use the code "PDA" instead.

Sorry --I am not fimiliar with the accronym --PDA --kindly spell it out .

So the person you have been talking to becomes "real". Not just words on a screen.

It's magical.

I guess so.

Online introductions/dating sites probably have a whole acronym bibliography the rest of us are unfamiliar with.

Same with "text-speak". When a cell phone junkie writes an email it's "hru bb tx cya ltr"

Ours had been a few years ago but I remembered I was soo excited and happy, I couldn't sleep the night before.

Thanks for sharing all your experiences guys. I appreciate it.

All I can say is WOW!!! From the very first time I hugged him, I knew he's the one. I'm walking on a cloud 9 and still I couldn't believe he is here with me now. (L)

I was 15 mins late at the airport to picked him up. And he was so worried i wasn't show up. I was late coz i made my self beautiful for our first meeting. (went to a salon.) I saw him standing at the arrival area and he didn't noticed me walking towards him. I approached him from behind and said BOO! just kidding! I said " hunny!!!" with my arms wide open. ANd when he turn to meet me, feels like the clock stops and we just stared each other for a moment and finally he said.."baby your beautiful". And i said ur so cute! And finally hug and kissed each other. I knew from that moment he is my destiny.

We met on Facebook playing Mafia Wars in August 2009. I did some random gifting and she was a lucky recipient. She caught me online and said thank you...I just thought..that was nice of her. I'm picky of who I chat with and don't chat online too much. Lol..I even told her "don't fall in love with me" she said the same Guess we both had an epic failure at that. We chatted on FB and played MW since then, she was always so considerate, thankful, and sweet. We both kinda denied our feelings for each other until February 2010. I really did not have plans for a long distance relationship, would have been easier to find a US girl and she was the same..neither one of us looking. But our hearts had other plans, our hearts were attracted to each other and the mind couldn't deny what the heart wants.

May 2010, I just decided to go for it...This could be my dream girl..she feels so right in every way online. I book my flight to the the Philippines. Made her promise to make me go home if I come over. I told no one I was going...just said I was going to Vegas So no one knew I was even overseas. Arrived at NAIA, I thought I was at the wrong terminal, since she mentioned a different terminal. Got on a bus to go to another terminal..waited for like 20-30 mins, then thought better not...since I don't know the airport (actually a police officer asked if I needed assistance and got me on the bus, I even offered him a tip and he refused. He was very nice). Got off the bus and walked a little bit and some guy (taxi) asked if I needed a ride told him no..I have a ride. He said if they don't show..he'll take me, and then directed me to across the street and down the stairs and ramp... Then I finally saw the Philippines...(no one told me to go across the street and down the stairs/ramp either). Stood on the ramp looking down for my baby. Finally saw her walking around looking for me.

OMG..She was so tiny and so adorable looking. I was nervous, she came up to me and I just gave her a small hug . Trying to be a gentleman..later she said she was expecting a hug and kiss. We were in the rental car for 2 hrs on the ride back to her hometown. I couldn't take my eyes off of her, as the ride went on, we sat closer and closer together. Finally after an hour..I asked can I hold your hand? She willingly accepted my offer and from then on..we were hand in hand. We got to my resort on the beach and we checked in. I unpacked, freshened up. Then she we held each other tight and kissed for the first time. It was quite magical...like a fairy tale with fireworks..like Disneyland every night. I knew this girl was special in person as she was online. It's so hard to describe how special she is and makes me feel. But I knew that flying halfway around the world, that I found my destination. We walked on the beach afterwards at 3am. I told her to sleep and watched her sleeping and saw an angel. I watched the sun rise that morning on the balcony of the resort and knew that this is where I'm supposed to be right now. Those were the best ten days of my life up to that point. We completely belonged together.

So sad when I departed at the airport, she cried and said for me to stay with her. Then she told me to promise to come back and see her. I told her "no" gently, next time I come back, is to marry you. So I promised to come back for her.

November I came back to the NAIA, now I know where to go after getting off the plane As we were leaving the airport in the rental car..I slipped a ring on her wedding finger, as a promise of my love to her and a symbol to show that my love is forever like the diamond on her hand now. And that from now on, she will always have my eternal love in her hands.

Funny how two people avoided trying to be together, but ended up following a love greater than than the mind can control

Sorry so long..I did shorten it
