The Norwegian and I met online a couple of years ago through a mutual friend. And let's just say we didn't hit it off so well. I thought he was a pompous, arrogant, jerk, and he thought I was an uber-feminist who was too smart for her own good. May 2012 we started communicating again. Within a week he was sending me chocolate. Within 2 months, flowers. By August he had bought a plane ticket to the US to see me. We've been crazy about each other ever since!
We've been fortunate to have very flexible schedules (I'm a student and he works for himself), so we've been able to see each other fairly often. But we're looking forward to making our situation more permeant in the very near future.
