An Internet Love Story that spanned the Pacific Ocean,
lasted nine months, and had a very happy ending.


This site is the story of how Tess & Charles met on the Internet. Our cyber friendship turned to love, and Tess moved to Hong Kong to be with Charles. Almost three years after the first online chat, we married July 31st, 1999.

During our relationship we have dealt with issues unique to a cyber relationship ranging from the anticipation of the first "in the flesh" meeting to the realities of a committed relationship once that route is chosen. We hope that you will find our site a useful source of information, and that you will investigate some of the on-line services available to find your own true love. We have created cyber romance tips, split into three sections: General, and a section each for guys and girls. Finally, in the competitive world of cyber space, thanks for visiting our site. We know you have many to chose from!
