I breezed through the ‘Orkut’ google thing and saw a picture, read a profile, and sent an email. Then we skype chatted overseas for roughly 4 years, and then I moved over and have lived with her for 2 years now. At first, she thought I was a product of her ex-boyfriend doing some weird stuff on the internet (though she didn’t reveal this until a year later). We met in person for the first time after a year of chatting online. I visited her in Ireland.
She’s a polka (polish female), and apparently my American accent was beyond doubt.
