Before I start, those who don't like reading can go to bottom of my post where I will summarise because I do tend to waffle on a bit
Our Story:
"Guys this isn't a dating site"
May 2013: Not many awake in my clan so I press the "global" chat button.
What I'm expecting..
Me: Hi all
Them: Hi / Join me / ****** you ****
What happened:
Me: Hi all
Them: Bigmac? Go away fatty. (My IGN is Bigmacnz)
Me: (some quick witted comeback that only served to enrage the already enraged global masses)
Her: You guys are lame
Me: (uh oh girl in the room..) I'm called Big Mac because my name is Mac and I'm 6'4''
Them: Whatever
Her: ooo a tall guy
Me: (say whaaaaat?!?)
A bit of harmless flirting later and I had to go. We say our goodbyes and I have to get out a contact detail or something... Play it cool Mac!
Me: My gamecentre is the same as my player name, bye!
I rush to Game centre and change my message to: if anyone wants to chat then add me on kik @ bigmac***
I sit there for a while with my kik open. She finally messages me (might have been 2 minutes).
We chat for a while and our online relationship begins slowly. The once daily chats become hourly and we connect on a very personal level.
One problem: I'm a 24 year old finance graduate from New Zealand, she is a 24 year old teacher from Canada.
Solution: After 10 months of online dating (a first for both of us). I fly to Canada to live with my gamer girlfriend. Gulp.
Fast forward 1 and a half years... We are in New Zealand, I just got my Canadian Permanent Residency and we fly back to Canada next Wednesday to make preparations for our wedding next year.
Sometimes you just gotta take a chance I guess.
Fast version: Met on global, dated online for 10 months, I moved from NZ to Canada to be with her. We get married Next year.
Thanks for reading.
