We met on League, now we're engaged!

Hi guys. I had originally posted this in a LoL FB group, but someone suggested I should post it on the boards so...why not?

A few days ago, my boyfriend proposed to me. (Well, I guess he's my fiance now.) We met on League of Legends and became very close friends, and years later we ended up in a long distance relationship. I wanted to thank Riot for this, so I sent them an e-mail, but I might as well post it on here, maybe it'll be easier for someone from Riot to read this.

(Here are some pictures of us together, btw: http://imgur.com/a/c1x5o)

"Hey Riot. I wasn't sure where to send this, so I hope this goes through.

My name is Vanessa, and I wanted to take some time to thank you for helping me meet the love of my life. (Wow, that sounds cheesy.) I met my fiance on LoL around four years ago, we instantly clicked and became close friends for a very long time. We eventually started dating and went into a long distance relationship. A couple days ago he proposed to me.

We were able to bond and become closer because of League, and we really can't thank you enough. The odds of us meeting were one in a million, and the fact I was able to find him through something we both love is a miracle for me. LoL was just one of the games that helped nurture and make our relationship closer throughout the long distance period. When he was stationed in Turkey and I was still in the states, playing games together made us closer and it made me feel like he wasn't so far away. There have been many fun and hilarious moments playing bot lane together, and they are probably my fondest memories with him.

Again, I just wanted to thank you. I was able to find someone that was my other half, someone who understood me for who I was, and someone who loved video games like myself.

I hope I can make someone reading this happy, because we certainly are.

Thanks again,

Vanessa (Nehssa)"

A recent study has shown that if you start out the conversation with a GIF, you have a higher chance of getting a message back. ALSO, if you have a Tinder picture that takes up most of the frame of the picture, people will have more of an inclination to see you as more of an outgoing, successful individual.

You'd be surprised how many people I've met on Tinder who play League. Just sayin' :3

I am in the same boat too. My duo partner for 8 months became my best friend last October, than my boyfriend last Christmas.

The thing that depresses me though is that I might lose him. He hates LoL now because he believes now that he will never get back to platinum and will just demote himself to Bronze. I love him, but League is literally my life. I have no other hobbies. I tried other videogames but got bored quick. Tried WoW with my bf, which is what he purely plays now, but I am already bored of it. League is what bound us, but now it might tear us apart.

There have been some times when I've never wanted to play LoL and he wanted to. I was pretty worried as well, I had the exact same feelings as you. But all I can really say if you guys are truly meant to be together, then you will be compatible enough to find other things to do, other things in common. Personally I considered myself overthinking things when I started losing interest, but every relationship is different. If you ever want to talk about things or want to rant feel free to let me know. (:

It's over. I lost him. It's done.

Nehssa1 votes

Lol, maybe if it's still around. We always talked about family bonding through video games, I'm sure it'll be a blast in the future. (:

ZaNJeTsU1 votes

dude do you have any advice to keep a long distance relationship :P ?

Nehssa1 votes

Sure, I had only been in one long distance relationship other than this one (but I was like 13 so I guess it shouldn't count haha)

Anyways based on my experience the biggest thing about making a long distance relationship work is to communicate effectively. It's hard enough sometimes when you're together in real life and there's a misunderstanding, and you have to work it out. It's even harder when you only have phone, Skype, etc. Many long distance relationship have ended also because of trust issues, which also goes under the category of communication.

Keep yourselves entertained too. Find things to do together to stay happy together. Try to keep your partner in the loop, let them know what's going on in your life so they feel included since they are so far away. It is not easy at all, but if you guys work it out and pull through, your relationship will only get stronger and you'll see it was very worth it.

Why are so many people happy that two person they never met are now engaged ?

Nehssa1 votes

?

There's literally pictures of us together in the OP lol

Starcraft243ver1 votes

It doesnt makes me know or appreciate you. (Not saying i have a negative opinion on you either, just neutral).

I mean, it's like most of the people happy for you are not capable of living their own life and need to be happy through other, just by witnessing them. It's sick isnt it ?

(Not saying anything negative about your post, i'm just trying to understand how seing two strangers happy makes them happy, and how you did figure out that people would care about you and your bf being engaged.)
