An Unforgettable 9-hour Meet-Up Experience

Can you imagine yourself in a non-stop conversation that lasted for about a day on first meet-up?! That was my experience with a wonderful guy I met from a popular social site. We've been chatting for weeks prior to that, but I noticed that even in our first-time chat there was  instant rapport.  It was like our minds connected readily and tuned in to some sort of common “broadcasting frequency” and started mutually transmitting and receiving loads of information about our lives, experiences, likes, and dislikes.

We call each other “bud.” We often find ourselves talking on just about anything, and the conversation never goes dull or boring. We often chat till the wee hours in the morning.  He is charming, interesting, smart, witty, insightful, candid, open-minded and really fun to converse with! So unsurprisingly, when we actually met, the very same thing happened. From 9 o’clock on that fateful Saturday evening till 6 o’clock in the morning, we were engaged in what seemed like an eternity of sharing and talking!

It is really quite surprising how time passes by so quickly when you are engrossed at something or with someone.  Our hours of lively exchange of ideas and experiences seemed like minutes.  Interestingly, I felt like I was with a long-time old friend who has been away for a looong time. It felt like we were catching up for all the times missed. I can’t have enough hearing his life stories and fun experiences and so was he (I hope.lol). Needless to say he is a beautiful person both inside and out. It was awesome encounter!

When I think back of the experience, relive the ambiance, recall the laughter, it always amazes me to think how two strangers meet for the first time but feels like they’ve known each other for a lifetime. What started as an extraordinary, fun, online conversation eventually paved the way to a personally fulfilling, lasting, intimate friendship.
