Another online dating success story.
vania and dugg#1 met each other on OtherSingles.com and have since married and had a child. Here are some photos and their story:
From vania:
It’s strange how things happen... you are trudging through the mundane weary lanes of life when suddenly, out of nowhere, love walks in and touches your life in a way that you know that nothing could ever be the same again. Something like this happened with me. If anyone had told me three years ago I'd meet and fall in love with some one online, I'd have told them they were crazy. And it was the truth. I was young, good looking, adventurous, outgoing and open minded so to look for a boyfriend on the internet was the last thing in my mind. But other meant to be...I didn't found a boyfriend, I found the love of my life,my soul mate and best friend, who became my lifetime partner. It is ironic, isn’t it? But that's life... so weird and unpredictable. Three years ago my best friend Silvia found this website and she told me that it is a wonderful place to meet a great people and build friendships. My English was so bad that I couldn't consider myself writing anybody. But when I read her emails and listened to her stories I found it very intriguing. So that’s how she made and posted my profile. I got so many emails and I had a hard time answering all the people. On 21st of February 2001 I have got a beautiful card from some Robert, who said that he want to be the sunshine on my body. His card made me smile but at the same time was written in bold and little aggressive manner. I wanted to know badly who was this man behind the mysterious card . I have checked his profile and I was definitely attracted to him. With the help of my friend I start to write letters to Robert. In the beginning was just one letter per week. Then it turns to be an emails everyday and in the end were long sleepless nights of chatting and talking. I couldn't believe I felt in love in somebody who I haven’t even met. It was so crazy and weird. Robert was my first thought in the morning and my last one in the end of the day. He was my obsession and my LOVE INSOMNIA.On the 5th of August 2001 Robert arrived in Bulgaria. I was so nervous on the airport by the fact I am going to meet him. I had thousands of butterflies within me and thousands of questions in my mind. I kept asking myself: “What if I don't like him physically? What if he is married and just looks for an affair? What if he is not honest with me?” One thing I knew ...that this man have traveled from the other side of the world to meet me, that I am special for him. I said to myself that even we are not meant to be together I will show him my country and make his trip delightful. When I sow him the first time I was stunned. He WAS HOT :))) .He didn't sow me so I run towards him. He grabbed me and start to kiss me so passionately that I lost my mind completely:)We spent one month together. I had this deepest feeling that he is the only one for me. My parents even were amazed from his manners and the way how he treats me. It was a great summer...we had a little trip to Greece and Italy and also the Bulgarian Riviera. We both love to travel so we had a great time to discover new cultures and meet different people. On the 21 of August 2001 Robert proposed me. This is one of the best moments in my life. We both cried with happy tears because the life is so easy when you have the right person next to you. A year later on the 24th of August 2002 we got married in a beautiful church in my home town in Bulgaria. Our joy was shared with 150 relatives and friends. Robert is everything which i prayed for, dreamed for and looking for...he is just my happy destiny. On the 20th of May 2003 God send us our little Angel Julia :) Now we live happy married, raise together our beautiful daughter. Someday someone might come into your life and love you the way you've always wanted. If your someday was yesterday, learn. If your someday is tomorrow, hope. If your someday is today, cherish. Live a life with no excuses and love without regrets. There is somebody out there who is waiting for you. I would like to build friendships on the site so you can feel free to email me.
From dugg#1:
Life is a series of events both good and bad. When you are enjoying the great ones you must realize that some of life’s misfortunes are part of the path to life’s rewards. Regret is not possible if you have moved to a place in life in which you are truly happiest. While I was making mistakes or choices, my future wife was on the other side of the world living a life that had nothing to do with me. What possible future connection could ever culminate? So far and so not knowing that the choices I was making here where bringing me closer and closer to love. When you are not ready to date the only way that you can move closer to love is bye distancing the relationship until your heart has found it place. The internet is both good and bad. Only the hands of the user can decide which it is to them. I chose dating sites that focused on the other side of the world. I had encountered so meaningless chit chat in my two year struggle. My heart was pure in my search although I was troubled bye having to pay money just to meet someone, so much so that I avoided it. That was until I found www.othersingles.com. Real people spending nothing more valuable then just precious time together. I meet my wife on other singles and I thank God for her and this fine honest web site and this is my story. It took me awhile to understand some of the intricacies of the site. I had been on it for already two months before I realized that there were new members signing on everyday. Well I had thought that I had already sent out all the cute little post cards that I could. This was until I learned that there were new lovely ladies signing in each day. A week later one very stunning beauty caught my full eye. At first I thought she was a little to young for myself but I sent her a post card anyways. Very much to my surprise she responded. This was the beginning of FOREVER my love will be. We started by writing letters. We had a 9 hour time difference so I would receive most of my letters from her while I was at work. I couldn’t wait till after so I would check my email several times per day just hoping that it would arrive. Our letters became longer and more in depth so all other letter writing had to stop after the first two weeks I had no more time for others. There where so many firsts in our relationship. The first letter then chat then to hear her voice was truly beautiful. Still the first time to see her and touch her was far from being possible with the obstacles both time and money proved to be the greatest distance between us. It is when love takes over that the mountains fly underneath you as you speed your love to her. Not even 6 months later I left Canada for Bulgaria even if it was just going to be for our fist kiss. It is when the letters are with complete openness and honesty that this type of relationship can work. When your hopes and dreams are the same and you realize that life would never get any better with anyone else this is the time to make a leap of faith. It’s what makes a man walk into a jewelry store and say” I am here to buy a ring for one very beautiful girl”.
