Geeky as it is, we met online playing shooter games. Yup, shooter games! N`either of us were looking, at all, but he was the first guy to not treat my like most gamer girls get treated. I was head over heels in love in the matter of hours(i always tell him days cause he`ll make fun of me :X) and so did he. We still play video games almost daily after work or during weekends while skyping on a second monitor.

We met while I was studying abroad in Cairo on a fellowship. I was studying Arabic and looking for someone to exchange language with and sure enough I met him a few weeks after I got there. I spent 8 months in Cairo studying and he showed me around the city, introduced me to family and friends and I did the same. I can't believe it's been over 3 years. <3

I met my girl on Facebook in the most weird way... I've created a new account for to type on groups and pages privately, and she just sent me a request from nowhere like a spam request or a random request; she told me she never seen me in any group nor page, but she was just typing something on the blank space and my profile appeared to her and she liked me so she sent me the request.
We fell in love immediately during the first days of chatting cause we had many in common.
The thing is which we both believe that the way we met is a miracle because we both made a prayer in our owns before to meet on Facebook without knowing each other and we just got the person we asked.
My account was just clean and without friends because was new, created just 3..5 days before she sent me the request, so that's just bizarre.

Meet my fiancé while I was on a pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia where he is from. I asked him where I could find the best Arabic coffee. He was very polite and hospitable and offered to bring it to me. I agreed only because it was convenient and I was leaving the next day. When he brought it to me I completely blanked and forgot how to speak when I saw him. He is very handsome mashaAllah. I texted him after he left apologising for not saying much and we talked everyday since then and eventually fell in love.

I was working on a long-term project in Russia, and swore I'd never get involved with a local.

Well, then, after some time I got involved with a local...and as we joke "we're the best thing that ever happened to us!".

which game if I may ask? My wife didn't grow up playing video games, so if she ever lets me play again she will probably just be watching on the side :reading:
