Was it only a year ago that I joined ThaiLoveDate? So much has happened, it seems much longer!. I had tried online dating before, but I didn’t really trust it. I’d barely used the service but decided to try again in 2012. I signed up for a one month membership. I discovered how easy it really is and within a few weeks I think I’ve found my one and only. My expectations had been so low, but when I started talking to Thanyalak I found her so charming. We met online in March of 2012. After four months I realized we had kindled a real friendship. I finally decided it was time to meet in person and see what she was really like. Traveling to her country fascinated me. In September, I took the long flight from Paris to Bangkok. Thai families are so engaging! After I met her and her family I knew I would want to marry her eventually. I finally proposed in late November and we plan on getting married early next year. The Thai people are so open and friendly and I think I’ve found my true love. ThaiLoveDate, without you I’d be a world away from my real true love, my angel.

I can’t wait to see my experience featured on ThaiLoveDate.com. I hope I can inspire others to step out of the normal and boring and become members of this site. Brent and I started communicating last summer. Our feelings for each other grew slowly and he decided to visit Thailand in November, 2012. Seeing each other gave us a chance to really share our feelings and soon, much to my pleasant surprise, he was planning his next trip to see me without telling me until he had the tickets until it was only a few days from his second trip. We felt like we were becoming close and I definitely had a spot marked on my calendar for when I would see him again. He came back to Thailand on January 15, 2013 and we were finally married in March. The bridge to Thailand is a long one, but I want to thank you very much, ThaiLoveDate for building this bridge.

Who would have known, 20 years ago, that one could meet the most wonderful man on a website? My parent’s generation would have never dreamed of it! Finding a foreign friend was so unexpected and everything happened so fast. At first, I thought, “This can never happen, but it might be fun to chat with a foreigner and practice my English.” I thought I might make a friend, but I was thinking the differences in our race would prevent a real relationship. I was so very wrong. On top of that, when I met Travis I thought our age differences would prevent us from becoming more than friends. I was wrong again! Meeting Travis in person opened my eyes and we had one date followed by another. Travis is so much older and wiser. I’m glad to have someone I can really communicate with. After dating for about two months I think we are both falling in love. Thanks, ThaiLoveDate!
