I met my partner online...on a gay message board. We hit it off right away...just clicked. We emailed and found more of an attraction. Then we exchanged pics and REALLY were attracted. A glich...I live in Chicago and Doug, my partner, lives in Toronto. But...we found that we were really attracted to one another. And so...we made plans to meet. We decided that I would go up to Toronto (hey, I'd never been there and wanted to visit. What better excuse?). I took the train...14 hours. I got off the train, a bit tired...and scared. Thie was the big moment...I didn't know what would happen and I had butterflies in my stomach. But...as I walked into the train station, I saw Doug...holding a sign with my name on it...with a big smile on his face. And then...my heart melted. I fell in love with him then and there.

And that was 5 years ago. We're still apart...it's difficult sometimes. But I'm trying to get up there. But...I want to thank him. He's been so patient with me. I just hope he realizes that he's the best thing to ever happen to me. I was so sure I couldn't find someone. How did I know I would find the man of my dreams?

Well...that's my story. That's OUR story. :-)
