After getting FiOS installed at her home,this Reddit usercouldn’t get the service to sync with her computer, so she went ahead and called customer service. She stayed on the phone for four hours while the rep worked on the issue. “We had lots of down time because I was constantly restarting the computer and we would chat about whatever,” she shared. “We hung up with a plan to talk the next night because I had to get some antivirus software.”

“He called the next night and same thing – talked for hours while he worked on my computer. At the end I was really bummed because I thoroughly enjoyed talking to him,” she said, adding that she hoped her rep would contact her. And he finally did by sending a quick email to ask about the current status of her computer.

“I responded, and from there we began chatting privately,” she continued. “In two weeks he sent me flowers. We met seven weeks later, when we each drove two hours to meet in between our two homes. We’ve been together ever since. We would take turns visiting every weekend for a year. We missed three weekends that whole year. Then he moved up to be with me.”

Emily Band and Tom Cuffe initially met in the comment section of The Guardian‘s website, where they bonded over their “shared leftwing views” and similar personalities before eventually exchanging their contact information to continue chatting. They ended up meeting in person, which initially felt different.

“Surprisingly, we were both met with someone fairly timid and de esta fuente wary of saying the wrong thing,” Band told The Guardian in 2012. “We had regressed back to the small-talk stage: We knew how each other felt about the finer points of clinical trial methodology or Nick Clegg’s Alarm Clock Britain, but we didn’t have the slightest clue about [favorite colors] or films.”

She continued: “Thankfully, this was just a phase, but it took us a considerable time to admit that we were attracted to each other – it’s far easier to be rude to someone via long-distance communication than it is to admit to love
