I met someone. It's not news actually. We have been communicating for a little over a year now. Why just "communicating" and not "dating", you ask? That's because we met online. Nope, it's not on one of those online dating sites. It's a wholesome discussion site where members are free to express their opinions about anything under the sun. I created some discussions and he responded to quite a few of them. I guess my discussions were that interesting enough for him. It was also not just a simple response but the full article worth of opinion. We commented back and forth and had full discourses on each of them.

As time went on, we communicated through the private messaging feature of the site. Sharing opinions, our thoughts, and a recount of our daily lives. Then we moved on to communicating in instant messengers. That brought the conversations to a whole new level. I mean, we still talked about everything under the sun but we wouldn't have to wait for the other to read, respond, and submit their message. Our replies were instant giving us the feel as if we were just sitting next to each other.

It was inevitable that we talked of meeting up. He said that that could be the best gift that I could ever give him. After about a year of just pondering about the possibility of meeting up, it finally happened. Last August, our class had a trade fair close to where he resides. I thought he was not going to make it because of work. I was running out of hope actually, until he texted me asking on what floor of the mall am I at.

Then there he was, walking towards me. The light from the sun reflected on the glass window struck him, giving a soft halo around him. That moment was stunning for me. I could never forget that. When he got close, he hugged me so tight that I couldn't think, couldn't breathe. I gave him a light touch on the cheek in response. That moment in time couldn't be more sweet.

We're now dating, both online and offline(if the opportunity presents itself). You see? You don't have to try and risk meeting someone on dating sites just to test the waters. You can start with the forums that you're already registered with. It doesn't have to go straight to being romantic, it can start out with genuine online friendship then blossom into something deep. Who knows? He just might be the one that you've been looking for. Good luck and have fun!
