A simple start over snacks

I spent many nights sitting on my couch alone. I wanted to find a partner who could laugh at the same silly things I do. I decided to look for someone from a different culture using Bmerrells. I had heard a lot about the kindness of people from Nepal. I was looking through this guide on https://www.bmerrells.net/asian-brides/nepali-mail-order-brides.html and it really helped me understand what to expect. I learned about how women there value family and honesty. I met a woman named Anika. Our first conversation was not about deep philosophy. It was about her favorite spicy noodles and my love for cheesy crackers. We talked for 4 hours that first night. It felt easy and natural.

Six things that made our connection work

The midnight snack exchange. We would show each other what we were eating on camera. She showed me traditional snacks from Kathmandu. I showed her how to make a proper grilled cheese. We did this at least 3 times a week. It was our favorite ritual. Watching bad reality TV together. We used the Face-to-Face video feature to watch shows at the same time. We would laugh at the drama. It made the 7000 miles between us feel like nothing. It was 11 PM for me and 9 AM for her in Nepal. Using specific search filters. I used the detailed search tools to find someone who liked hiking. The site lets you filter by education and lifestyle habits. It saved me a lot of time. I found someone who actually matched my daily routine. Sending small surprises. I used the Flowers and Presents service to send her a yellow bouquet. It arrived at her door in 2 days. Seeing her smile on the screen when she held them was the best part of my month. It was a very simple process. Learning about her family. Anika told me about her 2 brothers and her parents. Nepali culture is very close-knit. We spent 15 nights just talking about how we want our future home to look. She has very strong values. The photo sharing. We sent 50 photos back and forth in the first month. She sent pictures of the mountains in Pokhara. I sent pictures of the local park. It helped us see each other's worlds without leaving our homes. It is funny how the smallest things like a bag of chips can lead to a real relationship. You do not need big gestures every day. You just need to be there and listen.

What I learned from this

I learned that distance is just a number if you have a good connection. I realized that Nepali women are very patient. Anika taught me to slow down. I used to rush everything. Now I take 20 minutes every morning to just drink tea and think about her.

If you are feeling lonely, maybe look somewhere you haven't tried before. There are so many people out there waiting. You might find someone who likes the same bad TV shows as you. Give it a try tonight.
