“Mr. Caneco’s Unconventional Approach to Romance Leads to Love and Devotion”
After exchanging messages with Mr. Caneco, a woman found his request to switch to phone calls quite unusual. “I’m somebody who only talks on the phone for work,” she said. Despite her initial hesitance, she found Mr. Caneco’s devotion to his pet Beanhead and his sincere messages compelling. His background as a Navy officer with a background in history and Middle East studies also piqued her interest.
Born on Staten Island, Mr. Caneco joined the Navy in 2005 after earning a bachelor’s degree in history and Middle East studies from Fordham University. He pursued further education, including a Master of Laws degree in taxation from Georgetown, while serving as a reservist.
The couple’s long-distance relationship blossomed through video chats and shared activities, such as watching movies together. Eventually, the woman took a leap of faith and decided to meet Mr. Caneco in person in New York City, where their love story began to unfold.
Historically, long-distance relationships have been a challenge for many couples, but modern technology has made it easier to stay connected despite physical distance. The pandemic also forced many couples to reevaluate their priorities and take bold steps to pursue love.
Instead of falling off the face of the earth, the woman fell in love after their first date at a restaurant in Chelsea. Both Mr. Caneco and the woman felt a deep connection and decided to move their relationship forward.
The couple’s inspiring journey serves as a reminder that love knows no boundaries and can flourish under unexpected circumstances. Their story is a testament to the power of perseverance and taking risks in the pursuit of love.
