A vacation fling turned romance novel.
Meeting someone in the wild that you have a romantic connection with is so challenging these days that one infatuated woman traveled 6,000 miles to see a guy for a second date, according to Jam Press.
A woman named Grace Kelly was hanging out at a hotel bar in Taiwan, where she was on vacation, when she met a potential suitor, who owned a restaurant in the East Asia country, with whom she hit it off.
'That first night, we were enjoying each other's company so much that we decided to stay up all night and make the most of the few hours we had,' Kelly told What's The Jam.
'We were literally talking about our ideal futures and living on a farm in Scotland with dogs and chickens, and goats within hours of meeting.'
The duo's night sounded like one right out of a rom-com movie: 'The hotel bar was closing, so he suggested we go to his restaurant at midnight to make pasta from scratch…'
Any vacation fling is fun — especially when you think you'll never see the person again.
But in this case, when Kelly eventually flew back home — and he stayed in Taiwan for work — she and he kept in touch and 'spoke constantly for three weeks on different time zones'
The couple couldn't stand to be a part much longer, so Kelly booked herself a flight back to Taiwan and traveled the 6,000-mile trek to see the special lad again.
'I was so nervous going out there, but I'd arranged my own hotel just in case things didn't go to plan,' she told the outlet.
'But as soon as I arrived there, he'd arranged for flowers to be waiting in my hotel room, and he swooped me up as soon as the hotel elevator doors opened.'
After their time together in Taiwan, the lucky guy visited Kelly in the UK — and the two eventually met each other's families.
'We both rarely meet anyone who we click with this much and whose lifestyle matches each other so well,' she said.
'He's so refreshing, insanely skilled and definitely the most intelligent man I've ever met, but also really funny and down to earth.'
Kelly shared her love story on social media — and the internet couldn't get enough of it.
'This looks like it was taken right out of a romcom – love love love it,' one commenter wrote.
'I LOVE this,' another comment read.
'Ahhhh, how exciting!' wrote someone else.
The most touching part of this story is that although these long-lost lovers met in a completely different country, it turned out that they both grew up in the UK, living only an hour apart from each other.
