One night while in a chat room with some of my online friends, I got an IM (instant message).
I had noticed that this guy was several years younger than me, and thought to myself, "Go away little boy." I didn't respond right away, but sat there watching him type.
He was very funny and could spell, so I finally responded. We started talking as often as we could from that point. He asked me to come and visit him in Salt Lake City. I was in Detroit and had never been west of the Mississippi and thought it would be nice to see the west, so I went. Three days after I arrived he asked me to never leave. I've been here ever since, and we are getting married June 20th of this year. For me online friendship turned into real-life love. Thank you AOL.
