We Met Online

Share Your Story: How did you meet your partner?

From Elle

Where I met my partner?

Oh gosh its crazy to even say this but I met her online! I was on a dating site and she emailed me her personal information, and we started talking ever since then. I was kind of skeptical about giving out my information so we chatted and emailed each other for a long while. Then one day I just gave her my number and it continued with text messaging. Finally one day she picked me up and we went out, to the beach, to play some pool and to just cruise the coast. It was very romantic!

How we fell in love

After that first date I thought about giving it some time for the next time, you know playing hard to get! So I continued texting her and she occasionally called me, we kept at that for a whole month till we'd go out again. After that second date we were unseperable, it was just this amazing feeling that came so naturally between us. A month goes by and we barely kiss, we grew so close as friends that when we took it to the next step it surprised us both and sparked this wonderful relationship. As we took it very slow into getting to know each other we would freak when we'd go days without seeing each other. It continues to be that way now a year and a half into the relationship. Now I'm engaged and so happy. I never felt this way in my life with anyone else and it feels so great to finally feel in love with someone.

Advice

  • Take your time in all relationships even if they are friendships, you never know what they'll turn out to be! ;)
