    Ok Cupid led me to true love!

     

    I found the true love of my life online after a very bad and painful broken road of girls before her.

    In Oct. of last year I had my heart literally ripped out and handed to me on a platter. This girl Mary I was happily engaged to had come to town. She was currently living in NYC and I in Virginia Beach. I had met her through a friend at a concert in New York City. We were dating happily and doing the long distance thing. I offered to even get baptized a different religion for her. However the next day after that baptism she cheated on me with my ex girlfriends cousin. It hurt to physically see it it hurt even more that I had changed religion and then the next day this happed. We unsuccessfully tried to work it out the days passed it was Nov and I went home to my parents in Fairfax VA to spend Thanksgiving through Christmas. When I left on that trip we were still together. However on Thanksgiving she wasn't answering my calls. I called her house number her sister answered and gave her to me it was excuse after excuse. I noticed she had randomlly blocked me on her Facebook and Myspace too for no reason what so ever . As Christmas started to get nearer I started to get Myspace and Facebook messages from random people she was meeting in a club in NYC saying that Mary had told them I died and she is now single ect. This hurt me. I broken heartedly let go of her. I started looking on Craigslist. I met a girl Ashley we figured we would be better off as friends. But she knew my heart was shattered by Mary she suggested I try Ok Cupid. So I posted a profile on there. I a 269 pound girl stood no chance on there I thought. I always seemed to be judged by my looks, or my weight and never thought that I would find true love as a out lesbian. The girls that  I normally went for were not into girls like me. Plus it was even more hard to find a girl that would be interested in a single mom. i had a son from back  when I used to pretend to be straight for my parentss. My profile sat on there for less than a week I got some emails from people that were rude going on about how I was a fat ugly pig or just ugly. Then finally, A picture of a girl in a Yellow shirt caught my eye. She had blue eyes and blonde hair and was drop dead gorgeous. It said she was from London I ignored it at first thinking that was way far away like in London England. However I kept being drawn to her picture and profile. I finally wrote her a short note saying that I thought she was very beautiful and that I live far away but I would like to get to know her and see where it goes. I actually cried when I clicked send thinking this beautiful girl would never respond. Sure enough I got a response. We started talking online on MSN messenger and we just clicked. Then it was to the phone we would talk for hours. The conversation was never dull. She would tell me I am beautiful. I then learned we had a lot in common and that she lived in Canada in Ontario. I had some hope thinking that Canada was't too far away. We kept talking, she sent me flowers for Christmas and then I went back to VA Beach where I had a apartment with friends. We decided to meet in Nyc in January. Yes we moved fast but it was so right, I took a Chinatown bus from VA Beach to NYC she showed up over 12 hours later via AMTRAK we first met in Penn Station. She was so beautiful I got shy I looked down and hid behind a pilar. The girl of my dreams was before my eyes. I thought that once she really met me she would never talk to me again. When we got back to our hotel we kept talking and we just matched. We kissed and held hands and during that week she totally surprised me... we became engaged. She proposed to me in Times Square. It felt so right. It was wonderful. We parted ways tearfully and we both knew what I had to do go to Canada. less then 2 weeks later I boarded a Greyhound bus and took a over 22 hour bus ride to my love and have not left her side since. We now have a beautiful apt together and are shaping the rest of our lives together. If I would of never joined Ok Cupid I would still be single. I met the one. I thank God for it each and every day! We plan on getting married 9/13/2013 after she has been settled in as a teacher. She is going to teachers college in the fall. I am going back to university..

    Our faces are blured out because of our sexuality and the jobs we are seeking and also because some members of our families do not know how we actually met.
