Side note: Slink requested I tell her about how we met. For those who don't know yet, Slink's grandpa passed away (

Long story, but I will try and cut it down as much as possible.
Five years ago, I was actually having an online thing with another woman. Things turned as serious as they could get online, so after about a year of this online romance she and I decided to have me fly to Louisiana so we could actually meet and see if things would work out.
I flew there, and after three days everything was over. Luckily for me, I had a lot of friends I could fall back on in the U.S. So I contacted a lesbian couple who were like parential figures to me, that were living in St Louis. They drove to were I was staying got me, and took me back to St Louis with them.
I stayed there for a week, but a job offer had come up back in Shreveport (LA.) Well because I needed a H1B visa in order to stay in the U.S. I decided to head back there and take my chances with this job.
A couple of nights before I was due to leave St Louis I was having trouble sleeping, so I decided to go hang in my gfav AOL chat room. That is where I first met Sappho.
We talked for hours over IM's, and when we had to part that night, she told me if I ever get to SF to look her up. That was the last time for the next month we would talk.
I went back to Shreveport, only this time I wasn't going to be staying with the person that things didn't work out with, but her daughter inlaw organized a bed for me at a friends place. (Never accept a bed from a total stranger of the opposite sex LOL)
This guy weighed maybe close to 500lbs if not more. While he was a great guy and all, I really didn't appreciate the advances he was making.
He kept telling me that he could turn me straight, etc, etc, etc.
I was talking to a friend living in San Francisco online one day, and I told her how much this guy was forcing the issue, and that I was scared he rape me.
I was trapped, because by this time I was out of money, and I never got the job.
My friend, told me she would call me in a few minutes to wait for her call. The phone rang, I picked up and my friend had booked a flight for me out of Shreveport heading for SF. She had known me for a few years and didn't like the danger I was actually in, and wanted me out of there ASAP.
I arrived in SF on a Sunday, and on the Tuesday I decided to contact Sapphocrat, so I emailed her.
The following Saturday another couple of friends showed up, and we decided to head into the Castro. At this stage I still hand't met Sappho, but I must say I was very interested.
The freind I was staying with wanred me to be careful around one of the freinds, because she actually wanted to get it on with me, only I wasn't interested. So I tried and TRIED to call Sappho to ask if she wanted to be my date that night, but alas, I couldn't get hold of her.
I think after I stayed well away from the one who wanted me she got the message, and it turned out to be an early night. Oh it wassn't a date, there was four of us that went out, so don't think I lead her on or anything.
When I got home I logged on and found Sapphocrat online, so we talked a little in IM's and she said she would call me, so I got off the computer and waited for her to call.
We talked for hours on the phone that night, and decided to meet up the next night. I asked her if it was ok if the woman I was staying with and a friend who was visiting from Vegas (no not the one who wanted me. LOL) could come with us. I was gfeeling nervous with not being on my home ground, she was cool about it, and said it was fine.
The next night we got together and went for dinner at the Castro.
Man was I interested in her. But alas I was doing the femme thing and playing shy, because I didn't want to appear to forward, so Sapph got the impression I wasn't interested.
Anyway, after dinner we went clubbing. Well I don't want to mention how Sapph finally realized I was interested in her without her permission so I won't say it, but nevertheless she finally realized.
From that moment on we have been an item. And from the moment she walked into my life I realized I had after 32 years of life found the one person God had created for me to spend my life with.
Sapph and I only got two weeks together after meeting before I had to come back to Australia. Then we had four months apart, three weeks together. A month apart, and fifteen months together. Now we have been apart for just over two years, with the exception of 56 days during those two years, that we have been together.
Our four year anniversary is right around the corner as well. :)
And Sapph, I love YOU, woman!
OK gotta go and take care of some things, but I will be back later to check on this thread. Slink I hope you are smiling, hon. :)
