I honestly don’t even know where to begin with this because it still seems so surreal to me; falling in love, especially with someone whom I’ve never met face to face. How my life changed for the better all with a little help from lady luck herself and the press of a button.
He and I were The Vampire Diaries fans back when we met on Jan 20, 2011 and we were role playing (yes, I know our inner nerds were coming out) the characters on twitter where the TVD fandom role-play is huge and just by chance I followed his character “Damon Salvatore” (mine was Elena Gilbert) and his latest tweet had said “I’ll be in DM’s for the rest of the night” and I was bored at the time, so I decided to barge in and that was the start of something amazing, something new. We RP’d for months and the conversations we had were just amazing; he made me smile like and idiot, he knew me better than most but a voice in the back of my head kept telling me that there was a fine line between real life and fantasy. Some people took RP for a dating site and even though our characters were “a couple”, I knew we were a different story. It seemed as though we were holding ourselves back when there obviously something more between us, but falling for someone online, we weren’t too fond about because we thought it could never happen. HAH! We loved writing stories together we had more accounts together and with that what we had grew more and more and we even made personal accounts, joking that our “ship” same was Danisha. (His name being Demitri and mine Anisha), but we knew underneath that it wasn’t a joke, it was what we really wanted but were too scared to confess our real feelings, frightened that we would lose what we had. It had been a year and we talked to each other every day, we couldn’t go a day without missing each other, he made me feel things that I never felt before and I knew I was falling and had been for a long time and a few weeks later I gathered up all the courage I had and poured out my heart to him.
I sent this long message to him, telling him exactly what I felt, asking him what this thing going on between us was (Almost everyone on twitter knew we liked each other but us of course. We were idiots.) Right after I sent it, I had this huge sinking feeling in my stomach and I curled up under my blankets and was so close to tears because I was so scared as to what he was going to say. We have a 9 hour time difference with me living in Canada and him in Pizza-Pasta land (Italy) so I had to wait a bit and fell asleep but when I woke up I saw his messages and I was just relieved. Apparently he had felt the same way the entire time and was too scared to say anything because he didn’t want to lose what we had.
From then on, it was the other start of us, us as people and not different characters. We have been together for 2 years and two months now and I can honestly say that I have never been more happier in my life than with him. I never knew that love could be like this, could feel this way but he made me see that. I know that some people think that these kind of relationships are not real but they never know how it is until they are in the same shoes. He is always there for me when I need him, he makes my heart flutter and make me feel weak in the knees, he makes me smile like a complete idiot at his messages and I know that I want this forever. For most couples distance is the only obstacle but we have a bit more to it since I am Indian and my parents are strict about wanting me to be with an Indian boy and we know this will be a challenge with him being Italian but we are willing to fight it all for us.
No time, no distance, nothing can separate us because this is a once in a lifetime kind love.

I do hope you'll be able to overcome the cultural divide. Have you told your parents about him?
Maybe they might feel differently once they've had a chance to meet him. Good luck with everything (:
