We met on E-harmony on 17th Jan 2010. I "closed" his match and he responded by asking me to reconsider. I told him he was too far and he said a flight to London will be no trouble at all (cheeky). Despite my initial hesitation, there was an instant connection between us when we started "open communication". He asked me out on date, I accepted. He arrived in London exactly two months (17th March 2010) from our very first contact. We are truly a great match and no, this is not an ad for the site.

I met my foreign spouse while working on the island of Providenciales in the Turks & Caicos Islands. Our company purchased the main water supply plant for the island, and there was an apartment building that came with the deal. She worked at the apartments cleanining the apartments and doing laundry for many of the tenants there. Funny thing that caught my attention.. I was trying to better my Spanish speaking skills and was using Rossetta Stone. Gabriela was cleaning my apartment and ironing my clothes one Saturday while I was studying and asked what I was doing. I replied that I wanted to better my Spanish skills. She asked If it taught me the Spanish alphabet. I replied no. She said; I know your the boss here, and I always thought you were a pretty smart man. I asked what she ment, and she replied that to speak any language, a person must start at the beginning which would be learning the alphabet.. I chuckled to myself because this made since to me. Then in true Dominican fashion she said; " I can teach you more Spanish in a week then you will learn in a month using the computer". I responded really? She went on to make a deal... One hour a day for a week, and if you don't learn more Spanish then you have using that computer, you owe me nothing. If you do, you pay me $300.00 for teaching you.. We hagled, and settled on 200. At the end of the week, I paid her because I learned a lot of Spanish. After three weeks of Spanish, we started going out, and the rest is hiistory..

There.com :blush: It was in 2009. My pixel self was sitting at a pixel log and this pixel noob with a cute profile pic sat beside my avatar. Had a long and fun chat. We don't remember who added who as a buddy, but we sure are happy one of us did.

OMG I so remember There.com I played in There from the time it was a Beta site.

I met my love on a similar world called Utherverse.com Online. I wasn't looking for anyone and he was about to give up and leave the world. Something clicked and we have been together coming up on 2 years now.

We met because I was hired as a contractor at a US country for a short term contract to train a counterpart in China. We became friends, and met a year later in person the first time, when she was brought to the US for training.

SHARE THIS VIDEO to promote the USCIS delays!

I help the Cambodian and Asian Community, and work with Cambodia/Asian Stars who tour in Minnesota when they are here.

My friend who is a Promoter suggested I visit Cambodia and meet the daughter of a family he knew.

Went there, fell in love with her , and such is history, and just got back from my 3rd trip with her.
