Ello. I was kind of debating joining one of these sites. At first I thought it was a little korny but then I realized I just might need some support and stuff after all. SO anyways... . My name is Kayla. My boyfriend & I are over 4,000 miles apart. I am almost 19 (next month) and he will be 22 in August. I live around Tampa, FL, USA and he lives in Mechelen, Belgium. We met on a dating site called OKCupid.Com. I was kind of on there to meet friends cause I don't really get out that much. I met a few people on there...and talked to quite a few but all of them ended up being TOTALLY weird...I mean WEIRD lol...there was always a catch. I deleted or disabled my account many times before, but for some reason I kept going back to that stupid site. I'm not sure why. I just didn't want to give up. When I was browsing one night, not sure when, in January I know, I came across this guys profile and he was really cute and his name was Dieter. On this particular site you can see who visits your profile. I visited his obviously butttttt....I didn't say anything. He replied about 2 days later and said "You visited my profile without saying anything? " and that's how it all started. Honestly, I thought he was way to cute for me so I just skipped over it. On the same day we started talking we exchanged Skype contact info. He didn't own a webcam at the time (he never did) but I had one so he just turned on his mic and I turned on my cam and mic and we talked like that for about 3 days and he finally got a webcam from the store. He still says he can't believe he went and bought one just for a girl and that he never expected any of this to happen. I guess our life stories are too long to write out and I know no one wants to read that much but I'll just say this. I never talked to someone who I liked so much without even meeting them. We really balance each other out. I am a little more on the negative side. I tend to worry and over think things...a lot. He is a lot more calm, reasonable, understanding, patient, and positive. I really feel like he helps me become a better person.
After about 2-3 months of talking, we started seriously talking about meeting each other. Since I don't have a job or anything right now he was so sweet and offered to spend all his savings on coming to meet me. He FINALLY booked a package in March and he will be here April 3rd 2012. We are staying together for 7 days in a decent hotel. He booked a rental car as well AND his family gave him money to spend since it's his first time in America or whatever. I can't believe how supportive they have been through all of this and it's amazing. He has even offered to pay my way to come to Belgium in the summer for a few weeks (or maybe even a few months) if I can't find the money by then. Honestly, this is all just a blessing. Without his help and his family's help, none of this would be possible and I am EVER SO GRATEFUL.
