About 3-5 years ago we had a Doper who had a “GF” in the Philippines. Who launched a thread about his great good fortune in meeting this chick online, how they’d grown close over the last months despite the distance, and how he was going to go over there and meet up with her.

Drachillix. He went, had a wonderful time, and was still “dating” her a month after his visit.

Drachillix leves North America for the first time.

30 days and counting. 2 days in Manila 5 days on Palawan 4 days on Boracay Head Home Yes I am meeting someone over there.
