Oddly enough, I met my fiance through my ex boyfriend. They have been gaming buddies for 8 years. My ex had broken up with me 2 times and during our third run of it in 2013 (yeah, I was stupid in going back to him), he introduced me to Matt, and the 3 of us would play video games together. I was also invited into their company-working on designing video games (I'm an artist). Well, long story short, my ex...broke up with me-but told me because I'm a talented artist, I could still be involved in the company.
The day I moved out, in December '13, I messaged Matt on Facebook to let him know that I was told I could still be involved in the art process and that I really enjoyed playing video games with him over the past year. I never expected a reply.
Much to my surprise, he did reply...he replied to every message I sent to him. We arranged to play a game using our mics a few days later, and we clicked. (I had spoken with him before, but never alone). A few weeks in, and much conversation later, it hit me that he needed to move to the US and live with me. We discussed marriage and set up a visit to make sure our feelings were right.
I visited him in March '14, and within 10 minutes of my pulling up to his flat (it wouldn't have taken so long had the driving not scared me) I realized that he was exactly who I'd been talking to and I wanted to be with him for the rest of my life. He's amazing, and I've never met anyone like him. I can't stand being apart from him-we try to speak every day and I'm scared to death that this K-1 won't pull through and we will be denied.
I'm going out to visit him again in May '14...I miss him terribly.
