Gay post alert.
I used to be a regular on /talk, but I've since drifted away from it. However, it has changed my life incredibly.

One afternoon, a post on /talk sent me to another website where about half the regulars are b3ta regulars (or were at one time). One of them is a smashing young lady and /talk regular (not so much as she used to be, though). We became friends and when my marriage ended she and I got to talking more regularly as friends. I'm in the US, but I decided to take a chance and asked if I could be her date for her friend's wedding last October. She agreed, I flew over, and we REALLY liked each other. I came over a couple more times, and I started looking for a job in England (even had an interview in Ipswich!). We've met several times, such as for an incredible Valentine's Day, a bash (for a that other website) and weekend holidays.

I wish I could say there was a fairy tale ending, but alas, it was not to be (or at least not yet). She and I have reluctantly moved on since with the current economy and tight-assed UK immigration restrictions there was no way for me to get a job over there. The door is open that if I can get over there we might give it another go, but I'm afraid that won't be any time soon. No matter what, I have a new best buddy and have had a wonderful year of getting to see England, falling in love, and having hope at a time when it would have been too easy to give up.
