Story 42 - In Love With The Enemy
When the YU-NATO war began last year I watched it unfold on my tv and began to realize that this was the first war in the history of the world, where it would be possible to communicate with someone who was actually suffering through a war via the magic of the internet.  I set about trying to find someone in Kosovo who spoke English (via ICQ) but I couldn't find anyone, but this guy named Ratko kept appearing at the top of my list.  I didn't want to talk to a guy from Belgrade  after all, Serbs were the enemy!  But despite the different parameters I put in, he was always at the top of the list. Fine, I said. Fine, I'll try him. Read on

After an absolutely terrible marriage, a broken heart in my 1st relationship right out of the box and spending the next 7 years or so making it a point not to become attached to anyone, I decided that it was time to at least open myself up to the possibility of a relationship again.

Story 45 - One Percent Chance
Viktor and I have been together for nine months.  He is 16 and I am 15.  We met last May on the chat.  He seemed very pleasant the first time we chatted and a few days later he called me on the phone.  We talked for a long time and it turned out that both of us go the same square to play basketball frequently.   I can still see the scene in front of me as I went over to him and told him I was the girl from the chat that he spoke to on the phone a few days ago.

Story 46 - Miracles Still Happen
Until now I thought such things only happened in the movies or fairy tales.  True, I always hoped that somewhere, who knows where, there is a man who is waiting just for me.  Now I've found him: I'm holding his hand every day, look at his face, touch him.  He is with me.  Sometimes I think I may be dreaming it all, but reality speaks for itself - we are together.  None of this would have happened if it were not for the internet.

Many people cannot imagine that it is possible to fall in love on a computer screen with some text.
