If you are truly looking ......

It is a question I have often seen asked here, so I thought I should say, the answer is, Yes, web dating can actually work but only if you are seriously looking, and well, perhaps if it is in your Kismet.
New girl contacted me from the other side of the world and based on experience I was suspicious. So was she but, mirroring my guarded approach could have been a ploy. However, she asked for nothing and the relationship grew. We were constantly in touch and it gradually became evident that not only were we a good match but really liked each other. In the end I got on a plane, well several, and arrived on her doorstep. What can I tell you, she is everything I thought she was and so very much more. I'm deliriously happy, very glad I came and not in a hurry to go anywhere.
I have lived in the country all my life and suddenly find myself in the middle of a big city! That in itself is strange to me but I can live with it, no problem, if it means I can be with her. In the words of the song, 'love is all you need.'
Perhaps I should also mention that this is across languages as well. I speak French and English, she speaks Spanish and only a coupla words in English so the whole courtship has been conducted in Spanish. Thank you Google Translate in it's many forms, especially the new Gboard 'translate as you type' feature on your cell. I can of course, now speak adequate Spanish which, has come on in leaps and bounds, being in an environment where it is my only option for communication without resorting to an App. And the added bonus is that learning a new language, amongst other things, keeps Alzheimer's away.
Life is, as always, good. Thank you Universe.
Best wishes everyone and good luck to those who are seriously looking.
