If you believe in Love; you will help me!
Salam Alaikum
My name is Yaser and I am currently living in New Zealand. I have been here for nearly 15 years and its hard to make a good living here. I am 20 years old.
When I was 5 I lived in Jordan, my neighbour was this girl who was 1 year younger and she was my best friend. We were with each other everyday for 1 year; she was my first best friend and my first crush!
However we left Jordan to migrate to New Zealand and I would not stop crying because I wanted to see my best friend! We lost contact for 15 years until she recently found me on facebook just 6 months ago; we have been talking everyday, webcamming etc everything! the only problem is she lives in Canada; I work right now to help support my parents but I am trying to save up to go visit her in Canada.
Just one month ago a game called "lost in a box" was on the radio here and the winner of this game gets $10,000. I told them this story and told them if I win I will go visit her and now I am a finalist in the top 10 for this competition. It is all based on votes now! If you have a heart and believe in true love please vote for me and tell people to vote for me too; here is the link

and vote for me, Yasser
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR WHOEVER VOTES =)
Had that experience before. Took me 14 years to meet my first love once again but my first love already have a family. We just settled to become best of friends. Your lucky man!!! You have my vote. good luck.:-)
is this for real?
anyway, if it's for you, you'll have it... good luck and hope you both meet again in the future... :)
Does advertising sexual stuff make her a slut? I don't think you have the same sympathy left now by the voters!
Be brave bro......you can do it mayb in someother way!!! be tough and strong to pursure your goal to see n meet her and when you meet her, remember my name!!!
i came 2nd :( they chose the girl who is pretty much a slut! The only reason she's on because she keeps advertising sexual stuff! ARGHHH what has the world come to! However if she pulls out or cannot handle the box competition then I get chosen. But oh well thanks for your votes everyone and don't worry I will still work hard to go see her hopefully in the next couple years!
THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR VOTES! meant the world to me and my sweetheart both :)
Mabrook... our best wishes are with you, Yaser !!
Finger crossed.. waiting for good news :-)
BTW GUYS I MADE THE TOP 3!!! Tomorro morning (NZ time) they announce the winner at 7.30am which is 10.30pm Qatar time! Here is the link to listen live if you are interested

I couldn't have done it without all of you who voted and special thanks to the people who went out of their way to tell their other friends! THANK YOU SO MUCH God bless you all rabena e5aleekom :)
AND WISH ME LUCK! THANK YOU!
sorry whats the conflict in the story i gave out? the radio station here is really westernized they like sarcastic people who joke etc. so I had to make my application seem like I'm funny but sweet at the same time! And it worked :)
and Sammie you are right; even if I lose I'm not giving up hell no! It just means its not meant to be I see her right now! InshAllah its all in God's will :)
and yes I will definately keep everyone here updated thank you all so much for the support :)
keep us updated.
coz u gonna meet her soon... ;-) thats might be the way it meant to be..
no vote for you, i hope you lose
I'm originally from Iraq and get suspected for being a terrorist on first impressions; I like to go along with it and say yeah so careful what you say to me or I push the red button you infidel!! hahaha nah really I'm not a bad guy I have a good sense of humour I'v been told and I am now currently working my ass off to save up 30 grand to go to America next year to see my childhood sweetheart!
Therez a conflict in the story u said in this forum to that in the link u gave man...
May god bless u if it really for a cause of true love.....
Good luck man.. u have my vote :)
Done!!
It feels good when someone works hard for his/her love..but in ur case, she also takes u as her first crush???
well, yaser, I don't bel;ieve in love too but respect your hence voted for you.
By the way, my love is in Colarado, USA, happily married like I am but want to meet her once in life for harmless reasons. I don't think she will be interested to meet me though as she never caught me on any social group..
I'm sorry Georgia didn't mean to jump to conclusions but its just thats how you sounded! dont take me personally please didn't mean to offend or anything! And wow good on you! I'm a voluntary teacher too teaching kids how to read and write arabic! :) respect for your job though good on you :)
ameen
i just think you're jumping to conclusions about me and my lifestyle? i'm not materialistic, in any shape or form. i spend my life tutoring kids who's parents can't afford for them to go to a decent school in qatar for free, i couldn't even be materialistic if i wanted to be. i go out with my friends on nights out, sure, but i'm still young and you only live once.
noooooo im talking about your comment "why can't it be about just having fun and not thinking about anything but the present?"
that style of thinking is an idea the western world want to get into our heads! It's fine its cool yeah BUUUUTTT there is a limit to it; when you start focusing on the present too much you will become materialistic for example wanting the latest fashions, latest phones, latest cars, etc. Whereas if you think about the future more you present will tend to be more simple and you'll be more satisfied with a simple life! I learnt that jsut recently; I'm barely going out these days with my friends to avoid spending money so I can save up and honestly I'm happy in my life right now; very simple: I go uni then work then go home study then sleep and thats my routine. Its only like this because I'm 20 and I need to be like this now so I can have a secure future :D
Sorry if I talk too much I just have a really strong opinion about this topic! :)
and how does not believing in love/fairy tale endings make me materialistic?!
shoot me
lol Georgia, if you have that attitude, your prince charming will come someday and because of that attitude you're gonna turn him away! So you need to be a bit more open minded! Judging by your comments I'm guessing you've had a bad experience or a major heart break to make you wanna be a cat lady all your life! lol
if you think life should be just about having fun you'll be so materialistic its actually not good. This world is full of materialism and it distracts people from reality! I know you probably wanna throw up over my cheesy comments lol but just take them into consideration; might help you someday who knows :)
lol its ok.. no don't worry I'm genuine, thanks alot for the vote :)
oh sorry yaser, i thoguht you might be one of those scammers who come here and make threads asking for treats. no problem, I will vote for you. Good luck.
lol Georgia I'm cheesy yes! But the world does needs more cheesy people instead of people who just think about fun fun fun!
Scotiabank.. lool? how is this a scam? Wanting people's votes? :S I have a job and I am studying so don't judge me before you know me :)
nice SCAM buddy, I'd rather help innocent people of pakistan then some ql scammer, get a job if you want money and stop spamming the site with this nonsense.
oh god, you sound like some kind of disney character. why does everything have to be about love and the future and having kids and shit like that? why can't it be about just having fun and not thinking about anything but the present? i shall be the cat lady, i'm quite excited for that
UkEngQatar.. that's not good; never doubt in that 4 letter word, Love is the key to fight darkness; without love the gates of heaven will never be open. True love is real and I admit it's rare not everyone finds it; but I'm lucky I have =)
plus, remember this quote "true love is when you see an imperfect person perfectly". People don't find true love these days because they are shallow and always have something against another person to stop them from completely loving them; we need to sometimes look past people's mistakes and love them for who they are!
Thank you all so much for the votes and yes as promised I will post here on Wednesday or Thursday if I win or not! Thank you so so much :)
Sorry A guy from Jordan living in New Zealand Falling for a girl in Canada.. Now where is the Qatar connection and why advertise on QL..Sorry mate cant help because dont belive in Love :(

Good luck Yasser,
but in my book that 4 letter word does not exists. I hope it is in your book

LOVE LOVE LOVE .... how nice to be in love :)
wow... salute for your courage...

and Sammie, if I don't win I guess I will have to wait a couple years; graduate and then go see her. I want to go see her now so I can make it official and maybe propose =)
thank you all once again Wallah you all have put a smile on my face I can't stress that enough =)
thank you all you guys truly are wonderful I swear all of you :)
Dramna.. First.. She's not my GF I dont like that word.. and second, good question you ask; my friend who lives in Qatar told me about this website and said people are very friendly on these forums so I thought to get more votes I would announce it internationally! I am going on tv tomorrow night to promote this story hopefully I can win! :)
And I find out whether or not I win on wednesday or Thursday so yes I will definately keep you all updated! Special thanks to people who went out of their way to get other people to vote for me God bless you all =)

XceptionalGreat its the biggest radio station in New Zealand, they have similar games like this every year; its like survivor in America if you've seen that?

"etc" is short for the latin word "et cetera" which means "and the rest" in english
Upheaval, thank you for the kind advice, do not worry I am a bright student studying law; qanoon! Hopefully I will be lawyer in 2 years time and get her to move here :) If i win this competition We will be getting engaged end of this year!
Britexpat - I was born in Iraq, we lived in Jordan for 1 year, she moved to Canada I moved to New Zealand. But if I win this hopefully I will see her in America or I will go Canada, not sure yet =)

Georgia love is real you'll find it at the most random time! I assure you :)
Thank you to everyone who has voted I love you guys! :D :D
done.... i'll tell my fellow pilots to vote for you... God bless you and your love
I'm confused..
The website says that you are Iraqi and your childhood sweetheart lives in the USA ........
Have you been on the kiwi Juice ???
Damn facebook.
Honestly, love stories only looks good in books, fairy tales & movies. In real life you have to be more practical. I wish you win 10k $ but kindly use it for your career build. If you have a good career means good job = Alot of money. Then you can marry anyone you want.
I know you wont listen to me coz love is impatient. But just give a thought to what i said. I am advising you through my experiences
what he means exactly in:
"we have been talking everyday, webcamming etc everything!"
i don't understand the world "etc"
i don't want to join another course in English :(
hardly i passed the last one.
thank you so much appreciate it big time =)
me too , i don't believe in love
at least before marriage.
so i am in the club already hehehe
done
