A "true story" about how we met - the story behind the story which is truly amazing!

This is a “true story” about how I met my boyfriend (now spouse) on a
dating site on the Internet.  It's the unbelievable story behind it 
that's truly amazing! 

I used to hang out at a country bar called the “Club Palomino”. I loved
listening to good bands there, and dancing to their country rock music. 
 I used to drag my friend out to see my favourite band playing called 
“Cheyenne”, who were amazing and always packed the place.  My friend 
and I used to get up and dance to their songs.  I was interested in the 
rhythm guitar player in the band, to me, he was the best looking one, 
and I loved his voice along with his rhythm guitar sound. Yes, I had 
the “hots” for him and would goggle eye him playing his guitar/singing 
while I was on the dance floor, or just standing at the bar listening 
and staring.  I've always had this thing for bands as I play guitar 
too, and always wanted to play in a band. They played there for a long 
time and were the best band at the “Club Palomino”.  I would go there 
as much as I could just to hear them play, and of course, always 
watching my favourite player.  The sad part about it was I used to see 
him with a blonde girl, not knowing if she was his girlfriend or wife. 

After seeing them playing there for a long time, the “Club Palomino”
closed down.  Yes, the club had been sold.   Wouldn't you know it a 
huge townhouse sub-division was put up and the club was gone.  So were 
all the bands and my favourite band, “Cheyenne”. 

When I first found out about the club closing down, I wanted to approach
 “Cheyenne”; particularly the rhythm guitar player and ask where they 
would be playing in the future.  But I didn't have enough courage to do 
that.  I guess things happen for a reason. 

15 YEARS LATER: 

As time went on I met someone and got married.  That was a mistake. 
Eventually we got a divorce.  I starting going out to bars, again, got 
tired of it and not meeting anyone decent enough.  I wasn't crazy about 
the bands playing at other bars either.  Later, a friend told me to 
join a particular dating site on the Internet, which I thought I would 
never do. But, I thought I would check it out for fun as I heard so 
much about it through people even meeting their soul mates from that 
site.  Surprisingly enough, I had a few dates, meeting in public 
places, but just didn't find the right one and thought I never would 
from a dating site.  I sort of gave up on it until one night.  After 
getting home from a bar, which I hated, I went on my computer.  For 
some reason I logged in that site again which I was really glad I did.  
I got an interesting email from a guy and liked his picture.  I was 
also touched by his email and that he was also interested in my picture 
and profile.  From then on we started emailing each other quite a lot 
from that site.  We seemed to have so much in common through our 
emails.   We continued writing and eventually got on MSN, and chatted 
for quite some time.  He was Bulgarian and I was Hungarian, how common 
was that!   We discovered from our MSN chats that we had so much in 
common.  It was really amazing.   Our families even lived in the same 
town of all places.  We chatted every night as often as we could. 

And then, a miracle happened!  We started chatting on our computers
about music.  Wow...we also liked all the same music and we both wrote 
songs.  I told him I liked country music and used to frequent a 
particular bar about 15 years ago, which had closed down.   Of course 
he asked me the name of the bar back then.  I told him the “Club 
Palomino”. He was really surprised and told me he used to play there.  
I wasn't sure whether to believe him or not!  He said he would send me 
a picture of his band that played there.  I thought, “yeah right” to 
myself as I waited patiently in front of my computer for the picture.   
Lo and behold, a huge picture came up on my screen,   “CHEYENNE”   
“CLUB PALOMINO”. I freaked!  I couldn't believe it!   It was him in the 
picture with “Cheyenne”. The guy I was interested in who was the rhythm 
guitar player in my favourite band.  I was so shocked that I went crazy 
seeing this picture!  It was just unbelievable!  Like a miracle 
happened suddenly!   Like a fairy tale!   We carried on chatting every 
moment we had for some time, and eventually he gave me his phone 
number.  We started talking on the phone every night.  It was just 
amazing all the things we had in common about everything!  Yes, it was 
too good to be true!
