If you haven’t read part 1 of the series, you should start there.
On November 2016, I moved back to Mexico to live in Santiago De Queretaro. Queretaro is a modern city with an educated society. It’s not as modern and educated as Mexico City, but it is better than most cities in Mexico. I didn’t know that I would still be living in this city.
Initially, I was planning on moving back to Mexico to live in Guadalajara, the country’s second largest city. Although, once I met her, my plans changed a bit. My Latina didn’t want to live too far from her parents. “At least not yet,” she said. So, we agreed that Queretaro would be a good city to live during the infancy of our relationship. If everything goes well after a year, she would feel more comfortable living farther away.
Our first few conversations started on Mexican Cupid and then eventually we started to talk more by video chat on Skype and WhatsApp. Sometimes, our conversations were as short as 1 hour and as long as 3 hours. Our longest conversation was 6 hours. After that conversation, we both knew that it was worth giving it a try.
After nearly two months of video conferencing, we were certain about being together. We have never done anything like this before. So, this was a new experience for the both of us. However, we are both in our 30s. So, we are at an age where we know what we want in life.
When many people hear unconventional stories like mine, they are quick to refer to the worst possible experience to dissuade me from moving forward. I have realized that some people care about your happiness and wellbeing. On the other hand, some people will dissuade you from taking risks because they are scared of taking risks.
Every day that we have been together has strengthened our relationship. We’re not expecting perfection, but we expect that each day together will be better than the last.
