“I’m an Indian girl from Australia who’s lurking on Reddit like everyone else. I’ve been pretty active on Indian sub-reddits and get DMs from boys quite often. One day I posted my selfie and got a very interesting DM from a guy in India,” wrote Reddit user “Aussiebredgirl”, without revealing the text she received from the boy.

She shared that their texts soon turned into calls, and they started sharing details about their lives.

“I wasn’t very interested in a relationship, especially with a guy from Reddit where things are really unsafe. But somehow, the connection was too strong to be ignored. We both came from a very broken past and somehow, our presence in each other’s lives felt like there was someone we could rely on judgment-free,” she said.

The Reddit user further expressed that their love is still growing with each passing day: “I just had to see him in person, and I travelled for a couple of days to India to meet him.”

Reflecting on their first face-to-face meeting, she expressed, “I must say I have found the most romantic, caring, sweet, funny person, and I love him with all my heart and soul. I wanna stand by him through thick and thin.”

“What was the DM? For research purposes, obviously,” said a fourth.
