I met my better-half over the internet!
We lived 240 miles apart and there's a 12 year age gap!
In 2006, we first started talking on here and on A-Serious - but we were just friends. In 2007, we both had an awful year, so we just kept each other company and chatted until silly-o-clock. (Still not having ever met each other!)
Then, in March 2008, we both went to a mutual friend's leaving do - so we were to meet for the first time!
And, from then onwards, he's been my best friend & the love of my life!
He moved down to Hereford in August 2008.
We've just bought our first house together and we complete on Wednesday!
The way I see it - Just be yourself - You'll meet someone when you least expect it - if you're just you, you're more likely to be honest with the person that you meet and they're more likely to be honest back - you don't have to pretend to be anyone else.
If you'd have told me, in 2007, that in 2 years, I'd be in full-time employment, in a job I love & own a house with the man I love - I'd think you were completely barmy, lol
