Ness Cooper, 33, lives in Norfolk. Partner Matt, also 33, lives in Somerset.

I met Matt through Twitter. Towards the end of 2019, he messaged me about a copywriting job, as we had a mutual friend in the industry, and it sparked a conversation. Twitter turned to Skype, followed by an online writing video retreat. Nothing about us was conventional!

After a few phone calls, I was already falling for Matt, but when I calculated the 266-mile distance between us and realised neither of us drove, I knew it would be tricky. Even so, we finally met up and the connection we'd had online was even stronger in person. I was sad when we left each other, but planning our next meeting made the time apart easier.
