This is the story of how we met.

It was late August 2000, I put a personal ad on a web site, and I didn't really think anything would come it. It was my sister who suggested I do this, I thought it would be a waste of time and      didn't really want to do it but she persuaded me. I am very glad she did make me do it now though!! After a few days I started to get quite a few replies but none of the replies I got I really liked the sound of, so I didn't bother replying to them.

It was Tuesday 12th September 2000 that I got my first email from Graham. It was just a normal average day for me, I can't really remember much about it. But that evening I got a reply from my ad from someone called Graham. He sounded quite nice and seemed to stand out from all the rest. I replied to his email straight away and later that evening I got another reply from him! We began to email each other a few times a day and with every email I began to like him more and more and we became closer and closer. I found out that we had loads in common and shared the same values and views about things. I always looked forward to his emails and they always made me laugh and smile, his email always brightened up my day. A week later Graham asked if he could ring me, I was really nervous, I am very shy and found talking to him on the phone very daunting and I thought if he found out just how shy I really was then it would put him off me and I really valued his friendship and didn't want our friendship to fade, etc. Anyway, after allot of thinking I said ok and he rang me. He did most of the talking as I was too shy and nervous to talk much. I liked the sound of his voice and thought he sounded very nice and it made me like him even more. Graham was very understanding about my shyness. He was so lovely about it. We continued to email every day and I began to really really like him.

On the 1st of October Graham asked me if I'd be his girlfriend. I was very surprised by this but also very very happy and I of course said yes.

After nearly a month of emailing, I felt that I really wanted to finally meet him. To me in his emails he sounded like the man of my dreams and I wanted us have a relationship in “real life”. I suggested meeting to him one day in one of my emails.
Graham thought this was a good idea and said he’ll ask one of his friends if they would to bring him up to Swindon and back. Graham’s friend said that he could do that. So we arranged to meet in the town centre outside Woolworths on Saturday 14^th October at about 11am.
That morning I was the most nervous I have ever felt in my whole entire life! I thought for sure he wouldn't like me and I even nearly chickened out of meeting him. But as you can imagine I am very glad now that I did go ahead with meeting him!!
Anyway, as I was walking towards Woolworths my heart was thumping in my chest so hard! I saw him, I thought he looked nice.

After we met we talked a bit as we walked to catch the bus back to my house. When we got to my house we had a drink and talked etc. I was so shy, I could hardly speak! I remember that we were sat opposite each other in my living room and we kept making eye contact and smiled at each other. I thought Graham had a gorgeous smile. Graham later said that he thought it was cute how I shyly smiled at him!! Graham met my dad, my dad said later that he thought he was very nice. When it was time to leave my dad said to Graham that is was nice to meet him and that he hopes to see him again, Graham said so do I and I felt so happy that he said that because it meant he did want to see me again!

We then went back into town, we sat in the Woolworths cafe and talked for about an hour before Graham had to meet up with his friend who was going to take him back home.
It was nice talking to him, I though how lovely he was. Graham said “this is taking allot of courage to say this but you have really nice eyes and a lovely smile” I got so embarrassed, I must of went so red! But I was also happy because I thought it must mean he likes me!
Then it was time to part. We stood outside Woolworths while we said goodbye. Beforehand I was wondering whether Graham would hug me goodbye of if we’d just say goodbye. Then Graham leaned in towards me hugged me and kissed me on the cheek. We said goodbye and I started to make my way home.

As I was walking away I felt really happy because I thought 'he must like me to say those nice things about me and to hug and kiss me'. I really wanted him to like me because I thought he was lovely, he was so nice. Meeting up with him just made me like him even more. You can’t really truly fall in love with someone until you have met them in person and I really felt after meeting him that I was starting to fall in love with him. He was the man that I’d always dreamt of.

As I was on my way home I got a text message from him on my mobile/cell phone saying that he had a really nice time. That made me feel happy.
When I got home I started to get really really nervous about getting his email later that evening, wondering what he'll say and if he likes me like I like him, etc.
I needn't have worried because he sent me a lovely email saying that he really liked me and that meeting up with me made him like even more, I felt so happy. I was so convinced that he wouldn’t like me after we met.
We continued to email each other everyday and whenever Graham could get a lift down to Swindon he would stay over for a weekend. We got on so well and after every time we met we became closer. In November Graham said in an email that he loved me and I knew that I loved him too. From then on our relationship blossomed.

With every email and every meeting our love for each other just grew and grew.

At Christmas 2000 Graham gave me a heart locket that said ‘Love you Always’ on the back’ I nearly cried because I was so happy.

On Christmas day Graham rang me to wish me a happy Christmas and he said ‘I love you’ for the first time not including emails. I said ‘I love you too’ and we both felt the happiest we had felt in ages.
We continued to meet up once a month, then from August 2001 they started a direct Train from Swindon to Romsey. So, about once a month I get the train to see Graham and stay with him for a weekend. I always look forward to when I see Graham, we have become very very close and are very much in love with each other. I just couldn’t live without him now, he is my everything.

 Graham is my soul mate, I love him so much and want to spend the rest of my life with him. It gets so hard and so upsetting when we have to part, there are allot of tears :o( And the times we spend apart are very hard because we miss each other so much. I am very much looking forward to the day when we can finally live together and be together forever. I love him so much and I want to spend everyday with him.
