True Love On BBS
Submitted by: Merry
I was a cosysop of a local BBS when a user started
e-mailing me asking questionsa about how to navigate our system.
Well pretty soon we were corresponding on a daily basis and he
started complaining that 1/2 hour a day was not enough to read
his e-mail and write to me. That was the
best I could give him as it was a free board with 2 lines and
ALOT of users. So I suggested an offline mail reader.. well he
could not get the darn thing running on his system so we started
to talk voice. I tryed for 3 days to get it set up for him
without seeing his screen.. All this time I was being melted
further and further by his very deep very german accented voice.
Finally I just asked him for his office address and took a ride
over there... When he opened the door I must have turned bright
red.. here was a very handsome very tall man who was smiling at
me and holding the door for me to come in. Well with the
distraction of him being so close to me, what should have taken
me 10 minutes to set up on his system took me nearly an hour and
i was very flustered by the time I left there. I had to take a
looong drive to cool off.. The next day he emailed me from his
offline mail reader telling me he was very pleased with finally
meeting me and thought I was quite beautiful. I actually blushed
just reading that! Well that was two years ago.. we have been
great friends and finally lovers and now Andreas and I (Merry)
are going to move in together in 6 weeks to start the rest of our
lives together. Just think.. this NEVER would have happened
except for both of our loves of computers and a lowly local bbs.
I wish everyone happiness at least as great as ours..
