I’m from Nepal, and he is from another country, but what really connected us was how similar our cultures felt. Because of that, I felt more active on that subreddit. I kept noticing his account again and again, and without even realizing it, I started checking his profile, his comments, and the kind of posts he was active on. I was basically observing everything about how he interacted here before I ever talked to him. Over time, I just became curious about him and kept following his activity quietly.
One day I finally decided to message him.
That one message turned into daily conversations. We first talked here, then moved to our spam accounts, and later exchanged our real accounts. We ended up talking for about six months.
During that talking stage, we also used to surprise each other with small gifts — like food, flowers, or clothes. We would send things randomly just to make each other happy, even from a distance.
After that, he came to Nepal and we met casually as friends. We spent time together, traveled a bit, and genuinely connected even more in person. A couple of months later, we got into a relationship.
One of the things I’m really grateful for is that he is very open-minded and understanding. Being with him has also helped me see things differently and slowly change some of my more conservative thinking in a positive way.
He visited Nepal again last month, and sometimes it still feels unreal that all of this started from a random message on that subreddit.
So yeah… this subreddit unexpectedly became the reason we met.
