Meeting for the first time

I would like to share my experience.

I first met my girl in real-life in Manila, January 2018, and I can honestly say it was the single-most amazing experience of my life. Where I summoned the guts and confidence from to do it, I'll never know! However the relationship turns out in the future, I will never forget the excitement, thrill, Adrenalin, joy, elation, and love I felt; how euphoric this girl made me feel when I actually saw her at the airport. I will always be grateful to her soul for this, and no-one can ever take this away from me.

More detail for the curious
I met my girl online via a dating site in November 2017, and we immediately hit it off.

I should add that I had never "online-dated" before. I messaged one or two other Filipino girls, who showed little interest (or didn't reply), before I engaged with my sweetheart. I had previously been in a 6 year relationship with a Thai girl in the UK, as well as two short-term relationships, and the odd fling, with English girls. I had seen a fair few places during my holidaying over the years, such as USA, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, so I wouldn't consider myself particularly sheltered or lacking great experiences.

During the first video call, we quickly discovered we were both looking for the same things in life (marriage, children, a happy home), and seemed to genuinely like each other. I would argue that the relationship began during this first interaction.

Every single day from that point, we were in very frequent contact. She promised to quit her contract in Bahrain for me (where she was at that moment), and return to the Philippines, and we both fell for each other more and more every day.

As soon as she'd landed in Philippines in early January, I booked my flight to meet her in Manila. I promised I'd fly around the world for her, she promised to quit her contract - we were already making sacrifices for each other.

Before I flew out, we were both declaring how nervous we were. Being honest in that we were worried the other might not turn up! We spent hours, nay, days, re-assuring each other. She was also scared that I wouldn't like her in-person. She's so unbelievably cute, pretty, adorable and funny - I could simply never have imagined that happening!

I pored over her Facebook pictures constantly, asking myself, "Is this really going to happen? Am I really going to meet this gorgeous, wonderful girl? Is this just a dream, or some trick!?" I honestly could not believe how lucky I'd been to find her so quickly. She regularly reminded me how lucky she was also feeling.

I really couldn't imagine myself getting on that plane. I'd never done anything like this before, even more so on my own. I was completely bricking it. I thought I might not even make it back alive (judging from some people's warnings and stories of Philippines), even if I did muster the courage to get on that plane out of London!

But I managed it. I got my head together, and got on that flight. But I still worried for the entire journey...

Eventually, about 3 hours before landing, my girl messaged me (in-flight wifi), saying she was at NAIA and waiting. Well this was it - there's no way she'd bail now, not if she's come this far from Bohol.

I landed, and as we taxied, all I could think about was how close she was now. I had dreamed of the day I would hold her and kiss her. Fantasised about our first eye contact, what her hair would smell like. I was so in love with this girl.

I got through security, baggage retrieval and customs, and... where was she? She'd just told me she was by the money changer... There were loads of them! I walked around, frantically looking into the crowd of people, hoping I'd see her waving back at me... but nothing. I looked back down to my phone, to see I was now out of range of the airport wifi! Arrgh, I had no other way of communicating with her!

I moved back closer to the outer walls of NAIA, and managed to pick up the wifi again. She called me and just said she was still by the changer. So I just took a chance and headed in the opposite direction to where I'd previously been, towards another changer... and there she was, in the distance, waving at me. She was wearing a plain white top and black jeans/trousers if I recall. Oh my God, she looked stunning. My heart stopped.

I hurried towards her, suitcase in-tow. She disappeared into the crowd - succumbing to her apparent shyness! Then, a security guard, observing what was going on, beckoned her out, to come and meet me. She approached, coyly, and with every step, my heart swelled more and more with love. She was even more beautiful in real life, so immaculate and enchanting. I greeted her with open arms and hugged her tight, kissing the side of her head over and over. I looked into her eyes... Wow. Just wow. What was this girl doing with me!?

We turned about and exited the arrivals area, and I told her we'd get a yellow metered taxi (which I'd learnt from my pre-trip research!). We queued, and I just kept looking at her, but she was constantly looking away. I'd turn her head to face me, and she'd just grin the biggest grin, before turning away again. She was obviously shy and a bit overwhelmed, as was I. It was so cute. I kept hugging her, and telling her, "I can't believe we're here", "I love you so much". I kissed her on the head, again and again. And again.

We eventually got into the taxi and she instantly clung to me, squeezing the breath from me. Then she returned all my kisses. We held each other so tightly and lovingly until we arrived at the hotel. I had her in my arms at last!

I like a person who leaps before they look. We are brought up to the right thing, not the best thing. sometimes the best thing is the right thing, you just don't know until you leap. Kahit anung mangyari
