Online Love

Being shy person loneliness was a burden that I carried as a young adult. It was terrible, though was doing very well as an It professional my personal life was colorless. I had never learnt to converse well with females and was usually dumbstruck in a face to face meeting with one. I could not go through the process of relationship building.

I had given up and was destined to live my whole life as a lonely single.

I was in Sydney to attend a best friends wedding whence he suggest me to join an online dating site. Even as an IT professional, I had not thought of going on the net for relationship. Incidentally, my friend introduced me to a dazzling girl Alice at his wedding. However, the intro ended up in a fiasco as usual. I liked the girl tremendously and she liked me too but the conversation never took a step forward and I soon ended up in a lone seat in one corner.

She liked me too, as I could make out from the glint in her eyes. However, I failed to respond in any way for us to proceed. All I received was a big parting smile and a handshake when parting.

Then depression set in and the dark clouds of loneliness engulfed my whole self. I felt like drowning my self in large doses of alcohol but refrained. I eventually joined an adult dating site hoping to at least interact with opposite sex online where in I was much less shy.

I was lucky enough to meet a girl in the chat room of the sites. We began with a very hesitant chat but anyhow we decided to meet online again. From this point onwards, we began to meet online regularly and often. We introduced each other to our profiles on the adult dating site and got to know each other better. Though her photo and real name was not in the personals ad, I did not mind, as that was to safe guard her privacy. She called herself as sweetnicky, which I found quite appealing.

Days went past and we chatted regularly, in fact more and more on weekdays. Without our realizing that cupid was calling, we were coming close to each other. Now we missed each other badly if we failed to me online. The conversation tough initially one sided became more balance as she goaded me to disclose details about me especially likes and dislikes and my interests. She was open and frank though she did not reveal her real name and her image yet. I did not mind as at least for once I had a girl friend though online.

It seemed to me that she was cleverly guiding the conversation and encouraging me to open up. She new I was a very shy person as I had disclosed to her in one of our earlier chats. This helped me a lot and as I began to gather courage to converse freely.

Still I had not gathered enough courage to ask her to meet in person. She did not as well as she could make out that I was still shy of meeting face to face. Nevertheless, the romance or e-romance had set in. There was more warmth and care in the conversation and the thrill of first contact online (every time we chatted) was indescribable - all this even though we had not met. The chemical romance was in action and whenever we failed to meet on Net the whole day was enshrouded in gloom.

One day she surprised me by asking where and how I was going to spend my Sunday. I loved going to a little pub in Sydney beside the Harbor Bridge where I had beer lunch in quite corner of that quaint little restaurant. I told her this but did not invite her. It was rude and I thought that this was the end of our relationship (Oh! Online).

A little depressed I went for my beer lunch on that Sunday. There was a little crowd there as usual mostly lonely singles like me who sat in a quiet corner and sipped beer.

“I love that beer” the voice surprised me as it seemed familiar and but without turning, I replied, “Yes it is my favorite’.

Moment passed and I pondered where I had heard this voice, but I was too timid to turn my back and glance at her.

“A little bird told me that you are coming here for beer lunch” she spoke again. This was too surprising and I eventually gathered courage to look at her. And what! It was Alice sitting on the table right behind me.

“ALICE!” I shouted loud, and then stopped. Was it me addressing a female and so boldly.

“Yes it is me, sweetnicky” She completely knocked me down this time. “So it was you I was chatting with all this time. My what a surprise.”

“So what do we do now?” As she spoke, she looked at me with a mischievous smile.

“Oh why don’t you join me!” I invited her. Her smile widened with “look who is talking” gesture. It was indeed me talking to an opposite sex, that too a beautiful charming girl Alice. My heartthrob on Internet was standing before me in person.

Alice’s magic on Net had done away with my shyness completely, without me realizing it.

Alice was the owner’s daughter and you can guess the treat that followed. We now meet often on chat and go dating at loveliest of the spots in Sydney. We hold hands, kiss each other warmly, and yes, talk until wee hours of the night.

And, you guessed right. We are deeply in love and will soon be married. Thanks to Alice and the Internet of course, my life has experienced a complete transformation for good. I am not shy any more and thank that little bird that told everything. Read our testimonials in the online dating site that brought us together.
