In 1997, a person working the night shift connected with a man in the UK online. After six months of nightly chats, he flew to the US to meet her. They dated for three months before getting engaged. The individual continued entering competitions online for their coworkers, as most did not own computers. During this time, she also met Dionysus on a paid site and, despite initial doubts about his identity, their connection led to a face-to-face meeting, marked by humorous cultural differences in dining.
"I was both anxious and excited, and those co-workers, with whom I was still friends, didn't help. They asked how I knew the man I was talking to wasn't a 60-year-old grandmother."
"I chatted with abandon, completely unaware that he was paying for the internet by the minute. When his bill came, he decided it would be cheaper to fly to the US to meet me in California."
