I disagree with you Ali....if someone is married, online dating will be an advantage for him/her because he/she can exercise his/her romance ability to his/her partner

My story is funny.
I always thought online dating was for frustrated people. And I was ashamed by myself I also watched dating/chat sites sometimes.
I never had a internetdate because I thought I did it just for fun (not because I was frustrated lol )
One day I met an Indonesian woman on a Dutch chatbox. I thought she lives in Amsterdam or something...But she lived in Makassar!That's what I found out after a while
I had her pics but thought they were fake because the woman on the pics was so extremely goodlooking.
Actually I didn't take it serious in the beginning (think I was scared to declare to myself), but after a while she got really sick and I thought w my God I have to meet her!!!
And so it happened, 2 months later I was flying to Jakarta where we should meet.I was flying alone to a woman I only knew from 1000's of sms-msg's and days and days of calling. I remember very clear my thoughts when I almost landed on jkt airport. "Martijn you proofed yourself again, you are and idiot!""Your 1st internetdate is immediatly a date at the other side of the world" whahaha Can you imagine.....
Lely advised me that she was in Jakarta 1 day later then me and her sis in law shoul pick me up. Somehow my plane was earlier then expected and I was waiting at the airport...I was so nervous, especially because I didn't know if someone was coming or what. All scenario's where going thru my mind...
Then her sis in law was picking me up.I said hello and asked if it was ok if I left my stuff with them and go to toilet. When I came back and wanted to enter the car there was a very handsome girl in the car which looked familiar to Lely but 5 years younger. I said hello I'm Martijn, nice to meet you..."Hey it's me Lely!!!""You ruin my surpise!!!' whahhaha was Lely's answer...It was her and she was soooo very beautiful!!!The most beautiful girl I've seen in my life...
Ok to make this story not much longer, now I'm the happiest man in the world and since the 3rd of jan this year Lely is called Kleinsmann at the end just like me....It feels like a fairytale...
The fairytale has also not so nice parts because right now I'm without my wife and waiting for my ticket and workingvisa. I decided to move to Jakarta and work there but I think I have to wait for few weeks more... (these weeks seems like years )
A succes story of online dating I think but of course also very bad ones can be mentioned.My 1st was immediatly my last,don;t want anything else for more...
And just in General I think online-dating is quite good because it's very free and innocent in the beginning.If the other annoys you you can easily ignore or ban him/her.
Good luck!!!

Greets,

Martijn

Your question about long distance relations: Yeah it's the most hard I ever had in my life. It's really killing you
Of course it also has it's romatic things which other relations might not hav but after my thousant sexcall I wanted real flesh and bones if you know what I mean... :-)

Hey Martijn, what a lovely story. Wish you all the best with your wife and your unborn baby. Keep us updated when you're already in Indonesia

Furthermore, maybe you can share how you got the work placement in there

Yeah the story is beautiful, I sometimes hit myself to realize I'm not dreaming whahaa
Thx for the sweet comments
About my work placement?What you want to know?Everybody who search for a job in Indonesia has the same problem I think...It's very difficult, and frustrating...Especially when some people promise you things and at the end they offer you a salary of 200 euro a month.
I dunno why I feel so lucky bastard lately, it's the story of my life.
But it's not only luck, you have to realize I put my CV (resume) and my email address almost everywhere.Maybe 1000 email I sent...Just every company I saw I thought was bit ok I sent my things to hihi
Finally I got this serious reply, a dutch man who want to built up a extremely high-tech company.Really my kind of thing!!!
Sorry maybe jeroen is angry cuz I'm going OFF
