How You Met Your Chinese Wife/Husband/Fiance and Where Are You From?

[FoundNanning 0]

Thought I'd start a casual and potentially networking thread on how you met and where you and your wife/husband/fiancé are from: I'll start:

I met my wife quite by accident! She was on Skype, and wanted to practice her English (she completed a Degree in Business English at a Chinese College). So, she set her Skype to find random people whose language was English. One day, she popped up on my screen, but I wan't there. When I later got back to my computer, there was her message on my Screen: 'Hello, I am from China, would you like to chat?' However, she had already logged off. I was curious, so I saved her user name. The next day I saw her online, chatted her up, and the rest is history.

I am from Boston, and she is from Nanning (Guangxi, Southern China).

St. Louis ----- Chongqing

Met on a website called "interpals." Her profile listed the same favorite movie as mine so I said hello, took a while to warm up conversation since she was hesitant to talk to men and had preferred female penpals(as her experience was often negative with perv jerks). Stayed friends for about a year and slowly the relationship evolved.

Me: Seattle

Her: Beijing

She accepted my friend request on Myspace. We exchanged messages for a year; a couple of months after that one year mark, things started to evolve into something more, and now here we are!

[My_Wife_and_I 1]

Me: Chicago

Her: Beijing

She had recently joined our company when we met at a company sponsored business meeting in The Netherlands. After several email exchanges, we met again a few months later in Kuala Lumpur at another company meeting. Then, after spending more time getting to know each other there and later on Skype almost everyday, our relationship fully blossomed.

[Sam and Fen 41]

We are a strange couple.

Me: Asian-Indian Naturalized USC, Danbury CT

She: ZengCheng (an hour from GUZ)

We met on a website called Cherry Blossoms and I was not even looking for a Chinese woman but as they say it was destined to be.

We have been Happily (most of the time) Married for over a year and a half now.

I took her to India to meet my family last year and they absolutely loved her.

We get a lot of looks when we go anywhere when they see a Chinese woman with a brownie, In China, India and here at home.

Hahaha, but Sam, you are a lovely brownie!! I know the stares are a lot worse in China, but I just stare back and smile because, like you, we are happy and don't give any thought to it.

We met at the largest Chinese dating site: Jiayuan (www.jiayuan.com)

With less than three months chatting day and night, I went back to China to meet her in person and ...the history.

First chat: 8/16/2010, Married on Thanksgiving day, 2010

We met on a site meetic.com. Hard to believe but she said her and a friend registered there and her friend got lots of emails but she didn't get any so she saw my profile and emailed me. Can't believe that as gorgeous as she is but as they say, don't look a gift horse in the mouth. That was little over 3 years ago and just 49 more days till she gets here

I can relate to the stares although I get them even when not with her since there aren't a lot of 6'4" white guys running around Chengdu. It's so bad that when we go out together, she tends to walk a little ways away from me because all the staring makes her uncomfortable. But that is only in China. When we travel outside of China she doesn't mind.

Her - Nanning

Me - Tulsa

Hey, Casprd, where was that second photo shot, the one with you on the raft? Was that Nanning? I'd like to go there!

P.S. Say in your timeline you got an RFE. What was it for?

I met my wife on CherryBlossoms in May 2009 and married July 2009 and passed the Visa process easily but a lot of worrying. Yea I know a very short time of knowing each other but I trusted my instincts and this is by far the best thing that has happened to me.

She is from Guilin and I am from the Dallas area.
