I flew around a corner in a big hurry (why, I don't remember) and almost knocked him on his bum (he was

at the pay phone). It was literally a physical meeting, since I completely ran into him before I even knew what he looked like... then when I looked up at his face, apologizing profusely for running him over, I knew.... sparkles. It can happen in a matter of seconds, love can.

My fiance and I met online... but it wasn't through a dating service or anything like that... we were playing a yahoo card game (pyramids) where we were in the same league together.

We talked everyday, just goofing around... then he invited me to view his webcam and i was subjected to an absolutley handsome man with long dark hair and bright blue eyes. I told him what I thought of him, and he replied with remarks like "do you need glasses?" "are you smoking something?" LOL We went from just talking about nothing important everyday to staying up days at a time talking about our lives and what we have done, what we have been through etc... I fell in love with him in the first month, but with only being 23 years old at the time I waived it off and just called it an infatuation. I continued leading my life and dating, he did the same thing. We shared our experiences with eachother never really admitted to the jealousy that someone else was out with the other person.

After about six months, we both had big moves coming and the conversations got more serious and when we look back now and think about it, it was pretty obvious our feelings for eachother, but of course at the time we never admitted to them. He was moving from Missouri to Florida/Georgia for school and I was moving from BC to Ontario to get a fresh start on life. We lost contact for almost two months, no e-mails nothing. I was heartbroken. I made the decision to start to move on, and met a police officer (another completely different long story LOL) and started dating him... the first date we ever went on, he picked me up his truck and put on music... the first song that came on was one of many of mine and my now fiance's song "Broken by Seether featuring Amy Lee" I knew right then that this "thing" with the cop wasn't going to work and a couple of days later my now fiance re-appeared in my life.

We took it slow, as I was angry at him for just disapearing... he had my e-mail address he could of at least e-mailed me or one of our friends just to say he got there OK and is doing fine (we still jokingly argue about this lol)... I told him I had been dating a cop in an offline, didnt have the heart to do it while I was talkign to him. Well this is where one of our friends stepped in and went up one side of him and down the other, mainly cause he thought I was happy with the cop and was gonna walk away, and we have been officially together since Nov. 25, 2004. We owe our relationship to this friend, cause who knows what would of happened if she hadn't stepped in.

We officially met for the first time face to face Feb. 2005, he proposed to me Feb. 7, 2005 (on yahoo messenger before he knew he was coming to see me... it was a surprise I had set up with another friend of ours lol)... and he spent a couple of months here in Canada with me, then went back to Indiana (another long story lol) in April 2005. I went to visit him in July 2005, stayed until FEb. of this year (got stuck there, yet another story lol) met most of his family while i was there (stayed with his grandparents). Each and everyone of his family who has met is exceptionally supportive of us, and can't wait for us to be married and have me back there in their lives. I can not think of anything rougher then having a long distance relationship with some who has your heart fully and completley, but at least we have the internet so I can hear his voice and see his face... now if they just could make it so you could feel their touch......

I guess you could say we met online: we both post on another forum, where we'd at least seen each other around, replied to a few of the other's messages, and had some contact in that forum's chat room. But we although I thought he was interesting, I didn't fall in love with his online persona.

That forum had pretty regular meetups, and I'd gone to a few of them. I'd gone camping with some, gone to different states for a meet, stayed in their houses. There was a meet planned in the UK, and I'd commented in the chat that I wished I could go. Then this dutch guy (whose brother I'd already met at a meet in Michigan) offered to buy me a plane ticket to NL, and then fly over to the UK with me for the meet.

I was hesitant, I mean; I'd met his brother before, but not him. I'd talked with him on and off for a couple of years though, and plus: I had a friend in NL I could always call and go stay with if it got creepy. So I said "ok".

But then I realised I'd need to find a hotel in London, so I asked my Fiance if he could recommend any since he lived there. I was honestly just expecting a couple of recs, but he bent over backwards to try and find me a decent hotel at a good price. I got PMs with tons of links to hotels: he even went and checked some places out to make sure they were clean. During this process, we had a lot of contact, got to know eachother a bit, and even developed some inside jokes just between us. I let him know that I'd be expecting to meet him when I was there.

he wasn't so sure about that: I mean... he'd never met anyone from the internet in person before. I remembered what I was thinking as I was driving to the first meet I'd gone to (it happened to be one of the camping trips) "ok... I'm driving out to the middle of nowhere to camp with people I've only ever spoken to online? AM I CRAZY?" But, he not only agreed to meet me... he even offered to pick us up from the airport!

We flew in a couple of days before the big meetup was supposed to occur, so it was just me and the Dutch guy and him at the airport. I remember walking out in the airport and looking around, wondering which person was him (I'd never seen a picture of him, But he'd seen pics of me) I was so sure he'd have taken one look at me and turned around and walked out, but then I saw this guy walking toward us and it was him.

I felt incredibly shy around him, and mostly listened as he and the Dutch guy spoke. I also couldn't stop looking at him. I hadn't gone there expecting to meet someone I'd fall in love with. I'd only gone for some fun, but he really suprised me.

In the hotel lobby, I told him to wait a bit before he left, and ran back to my room to get something I'd brought for him. I'd remembered he liked Guliyan chocolates, so I'd picked up a box of them in duty-free before coming accross. I gave them to him and he hugged me and it was like electricity. I just felt such a strong attraction to him. But I was really clueless to the fact he falt the same.

That night and the next, he spent with us: me and the Dutch guy and this guy who'd come down from Scotland for the meet. We all went to dinner, went out a bit, stayed in a hotel room having drinks and talking, just everyone getting to know one another. he skipped out on the day of the big meetup, where about 20 of us got together. But it was while out at a pub that night with everyone that John (the scot) pulled me aside and told me he'd noticed the little thing me and my fiance had going between us.

he said "It's pretty obvious you like each other". and I felt like I was in Jr high again "you really think he likes me?" (as I said: I was pretty oblivious) But he really encouraged me to pursue it.

So, the next night, a few of us went to dinner, and my fiancee was there. When everyone else took off because they were tired,or had to catch a train home, we were left together; the two of us.

I was nervous as hell. I mean: I'd been separated from my ex husband for a year and a half before then, and I hadn't gotten back into the dating thing. Plus, I hadn't really been into the dating thing before I was married (at 19), so was so nervous I'd screw it up, I also really really liked him.

We went to a club, and talked. We found out we had quite a few things in common, and all I know is that when he smiled at me, it felt like I couldn't breathe. And then he held my hand and it was so nice. I also just wanted to talk to him more: I had this huge desire to find out everything I could about him, so when the music got too loud for us to hear each other, I suggested we find some place quieter to talk.

he stayed with me all night. I had to leave the next morning, to go back to NL for a day before flying back to the states. I wanted to stay in London, though. To keep from falling asleep, I asked him to walk with me the empty streets at 4am. We walked in the cold, his hand in mine, and talked of dreams and life and desires. Then, he left. I watched him walk away, not sure if I'd ever see him again, then went back to my hotel room to pack my bags.

When I got back, we talked. A lot. We got to know each other a lot better in IMs, but we both shyed away from admitting we were falling for each other. I think we found every other way of hinting at it without actually saying it. We made plans to meet again, this time in the states.. we planned a two-week road trip through the western states. Somewhere in the planning, we figured out how to say "I love you" to each other: to finally admit it.

During his trip here, it was confirmed, and we began making plans for being together. During his 2nd trip here a few months later, he proposed, and during my last trip over there to stay with him, we began our paperwork for the k1.

I know it'll be a while before he's over here for good, but what we've got is definitely worth waiting for.
