"He was sweeping me off my feet from the other side of the world!"

Being a working lady with  a lot responsibility at work, it was hard for me to make time for a social life. A good friend suggested that I try zillove

After having my profile posted for several weeks and receiving tons of responses, I finally got one that stood out from all the rest. Oddly enough it started off with, "I know you were looking for someone a little taller and older and I'm off a little with both, but I saw your profile and I just had to say hi..." Well, there in front of me was a picture of a 26-year-old medic. I never in a million years thought that I could fall for a man who was four years younger than me, but this man is so amazing that I had no choice.

An unexpected twist

After writing for about a week, I decided to give him my phone number because our emails were turning into novels. He didn't call me the first day and I was surprised. I thought to myself, "Just another man playing games." He emailed me the next day to apologize for not calling and to let me know that he was was temporarily posted to another hospital in another town

I was shocked. He told me that he was looking to get to know me while he was there and then once he came home, we would just take it from there. He also said that if the situation was too much for me to handle, that he understood and I could be honest.

Our emails were turning into novels

I let him know that there was no way that I would end our friendship because of his temporarily posting and, as a matter of fact, I now wanted to hear from him more. We continued talking, and every day turned into several times a day. He began sending roses and gifts to my job just to say "Hi" or "I am thinking of you." He was sweeping me off my feet from the other side of the world!

Coming home to big plans

People are skeptical, of course, but I know that I have found my soul mate. (Or should I say he found me!). Now, after five long months of communicating online, cards, roses, webcams and satellite phone calls, he is coming home in a few weeks and he asked me to marry him!

We will be life partners -- support each other in everything and, most importantly, never take for granted the time that we spend together because we will always remember when we wanted to be together and couldn't.

When Martin came home, we hit it off immediately. This is the most amazing man I have ever met. Our opinions and views on relationships and family are the basis of our successful relationship. Two months ago we became husband and wife, and I couldn't be happier. Now we are buying a house, and he comes home for good in the next few months.

Success tips from Cecilie:

⚫ Be as honest on your profile as you possibly can.

⚫ Go with your gut instincts when you feel a certain way about the person. If you don't feel comfortable with them, chances are they're not the one for you.

⚫ Fill out all of the profile information. Leaving blank spaces may turn some people off.

⚫ First date: Was at a very upscale seafood restaurant in the City center, then we went to harbor for sightseeings!
