Something similar happened to a security guy in china around 2008, who worked for a university where an american woman came teaching english for a year or two. She met him and proposed not long after. And their kid now approaches adulthood.
You never know where or who you will end up with.
He was 35 and she 26

6 years ago, my new roommate moved into my house share, who was 10 years older than me, is Latvian and is drop dead gorgeous.
I never thought I had a chance with her, given how gorgeous she is and that I'm Bengali, but we somehow became the only two people living in the house share during COVID and we fell in love with each other.
Our son turns 4 next week.

Just want to add, for the first three months of COVID, I was stuck in a house with two women that I kept entertained.
One of them had to leave for work resendential leaving me with the one I had the strongest connection to😅

Six years ago, I was doing a pinup shoot and had like eight models coming through. Just because it’s the job, I was being flirty and chatty with all of them, but this one I just had way better chemistry with than the others.
We were talking about bars we liked and somehow we ended up on a date that neither of us asked for. During the date, I mentioned that I hadn’t finished her pictures yet and she asked to look at them, so we start heading to my place and she goes “I don’t have my card. Can you call me a taxi tomorrow?”
And I was like “yeah, absolutely.” Anyway, we have three kids, now.

Congrats dude! I was in the Navy for 8 years and then got divorced and separated from the Navy. 2 years later, met my next wife who is from Haiti and migrated here. We met at our old job. We are absolutely made for each other and I’ve never been happier.

This story made me happy to read and it's similar to mine! 8 years ago I put an ad up for a room for rent. A guy who needed to live closer to the city responded, and he was also 10 years older than me.
We met for coffee just to make sure we got along well and later discovered we were both secretly telling ourselves "calm down, this is not a date, it's not a date"
From the second he moved in it's like we were instantly best friends and not roommates, but also super attracted to each other. One day we packed up, moved across the country, eloped, and have been happily married ever since!
More people need to experience the amazement of the Roommate to Spouse Pipeline© like you and I did!

u/Makaveli2020 15h ago
Very similar indeed! For the first six months of being "stuck" together because of COVID, we went from being practically strangers (she moved in a month before lockdown) to being best friends. We'd both told ourselves to calm down as well, and that we were room mates but we became inseparable.
We still are.

I feel like you should maybe talk to her about how you’re feeling. the way I see it, either what you’re saying is true, then you’re better off ripping the bandaid now, and if it isn’t then thinking and feeling this way isn’t good so maybe a conversation about it would help.

This is the worst possible option—- it clearly is true, it’s never not, and those conversations are the biggest turn off ever. Either just walk if it’s emotional torture or back off and try being less engaged and legitimately live your life. If it’s meant to be it’ll form into something.

I've read this as a cute story of finding love in unsuspecting places, like a taxi ride on one's vacation in a different country, and also a story about love persisting against differences in culture and against bureaucracy.
I've reread the text a couple of times and I can't see what you see. Can you please show me where you see the condescention or the racism? Otherwise I think you are projecting opinions.

In india skin color can darken during teen years. I was born fair but changed to Indian brown skin after age of 10. It depends on how much time you spend in warm climate & sunshine too.

u/Odd_Roll5084 5h ago
Nope, if it's tan then it'll go away by staying indoors or avoiding sun, but if it's your natural skin color it'll remain the same, and no your natural skin color doesn't necessarily mean the baby skin color you are born with

US tourist hitches rickshaw, weds driver in a week: report
September 25, 2009 — 5:21pm
A 26-year-old American tourist travelling in India hitched a ride in a rickshaw last week and married the driver a few days later, a report said today.
Whitney from Chicago met her prince charming in Jaipur in Rajasthan, a state west of the capital famous for its stately palaces, after hailing a motorised rickshaw and hiring the driver for her stay in the city, the Mail Today newspaper said.
"On the third day, he surprised me by popping the question," Whitney told the paper. "'I want to spend the rest of my life with you', he told me. I fell in love."

Whitney, whose surname wasn't given by the paper, is to fly back to the US on September 30 to face her parents. 😆
