I'd be really interested in hearing your stories!

Me: I met mine on MSN (he found my address on a penpals site) a few months ago. I'm 16 and he's 17. Currently we are only chatting on MSN and sending emails and letters (I don't have my mobile phone yet), but hopefully we will be meeting in person next year! Before I met him, I didn't know anything about Turkey (except for Turkish delight, of course ), but now I find myself really interested in reading about Turkish culture, and Islam too (though I'd never join).

well, i actually met a guy on msn too... wow... i loved him so much..and maybe it sounds silly to others, but u can fall in love on the internet... this guy has really done sth. to me... its like he still has an effect on my life... i was gonna meet him too..maybe i still will... who knows what destiny holds for us eh?
anyway,good luck with everything...

Not silly, Ceyda. My cousin met her man in a chatroom a few years ago. Now they're happily married and living in England.
Just everyone remember the internet can still be so unreal and always be careful.
Peace

My brother met his wife on the net too. I don't think the place you meet in really matters. It is rather the personal qualities, points of view and expectations that have major impact on how your relationship may develop.

hi everybody
i never have taken net as real way to meet true love but it happened to me.when i filled form in msn i wrote "im waiting for my love" and forgot about that.but one day i received mail from man and he was from turkeymay be its uncredible but he turned out to be a man who i waiting for all my lifewe have been meeting for 1 year and in summer we are going to finish this story by marriagei want to say that with net we have good chance to meet different people all over the world and we should use it

How cute.. You guys have cool stories just like me.
I met this very interesting guy through singlesaints.com, a church-reladte dating site, last September. I treat him as a bestfriend and we call each other baby. I love him being my bestfriend and I like him a lot as a man. I thought that's amazing.. our relationship grows little by little. I don't know what's ahead of us though. I hope we'll fall in love 'cos I think we found each other just when we needed someone to hang out with.

and there was me thinking i was the only one hehe
and when it happened to me.. it wasnt like in a chat room where the guy was searching for a girl.. it was weird.. he just added me...?? hehe
how lucky eh?

Jus like Ceyda i thot i was like the only one!
I also met my lover over msn, almost 2 years ago now.
After 5 months (i think?) of intense chatting and smsing, postcards and lovely shells from turkish beaches, he fell in love with me, he was the first to admit! I was too shy to tell him, till i could no longer keep it to myself So here we 'stood', two lovers over internet in August 2004. It took us till May the next year (thanks to visa SHIT) to see eachother in real!

The waiting has gotten more difficult now, because now we know what it's like to be close to eachother. But the plans for me to move overthere are becoming realer (more real?) every day.

Just liek the others i didn't know much about Turkey. I was raised in a family that had a big love for Greece, so i knew a lot abotu that country. I think therefore it became VERY easy for me to love Turkey too. I always thot i couldnt love a country more than i loved Greece, but i must admit, Turkey has passed it with its magical warmth!

I'm sometimes scared of meeting the 'real culture', I'm afraid it will not be as beautiful as i think??!? But i wanna know it.. i wanna get to know the culture inside out and then become part of it!!

i met my bf on holiday, and we do the same thing we call eachother whenever we can and we write to eachother and i feel the same way you do. my bf is just so sweet and careing and he is very romantic but i miss him like mad he wants me to move to turkey with him in a couple of years, i am so lucky to have such a GREAT guy who loves me this much but i miss him so much
i have never loved a guy this much before. i feel like i will die if i cant be with him.

Hey what's happening? The foreigners are stealing our men!

hey i think i speak for some of us if not all of us when i say you are quite welcome to come over to UK or America and look for the love of your life here

p.s i know its not all as simple as that but wouldnt it be lovely if it was!

suuuure... there must be some over there or somewhere here but to the statistics the female population is growing bigger than the male population... so hurry you need to find a one for yourself

mltm

Don´t worry, dostum, from what I can see there are plenty of those who would not be good enough for you anyway!

And I think that stealing is an ugly expression, I prefer to see it as a culture exchange project!

Actually it is a slow way of infiltration. We are feminists that have a long term perspective on taking the power in Türkiye. Within a 100 years from now...

Don't take me so seriously. I'm very pleased that our men are preffered by the foreign women. I like cultural mixings.

In fact I'm fond of french guys

est-ce que quelqu'un m'appelle ?

i do not think they will be a threat from chinese ones becoz of their being some ahhmm little - except Yao Ming

Mon Dieu! Sui Generis l'homme parfait.
Parlez vous Francais cherie? Vous et tres gentil! Vous et tres magnifique!
C'est bon!

I was a prostitute and he was a customer!
just kidding!!!!

but Kirsty some people do meet that way

miss_c
...you can join us feminists in our subversive battle to take the power in Türkiye! ...your great grand daughters will be happy and greatful!

.....

Nana, I'm so happy for you that everything is going well for you and Tunay. JOk
