We always make up stories of how we met. I think it is because we feel kind of awkward saying we met online on Plenty of Fish, but we found each other. ​ ​ He messaged me... Hi, my name is Mike, I am 24 and came across your profile (by the way, cute picture). I saw you speak Spanish and I'm trying to learn the language. I would like to talk, and maybe you can teach me a few things. Hope to hear back from you. ​ I messaged him back with a brief.. Hola! How refreshing to get a message like this one on this website (the guy has moves, I thought!) I would love to teach you a few words, I said to him... Fast-forward to 4 months of chatting and almost no Spanish lessons. I put it out there a few times to meet and it finally happened. He decided to ask me out. When we finally met in person I was taken away by his big and beautiful smile and he said to me "you look beautiful". ​ Over a year we began to see more of each other. He showed me how kind, funny, witty and just how amazing he was. We began to cherish our conversations and times together. After almost 9 years of dating and living together, having our first home and few kids all together, it was time for us to make it official. We both believe love cannot be measured for how long you wait, it is about how well you understand why you waited. Guess what people? The wait its over!
