  Lol Gratz Zid. That takes work.
  
  But yeah my story is that I met this girl on Mabi. She lived near me apparently (1 hour or so drive) and we were really hitting it off one night. We really connected but than I realized that this was online and these things dont work so I told her this would be online only. Through and through we "Broke up" and I noted her because she hadnt gotten online in a while that I wanted to divorce. She got mad and everything. Idk how this happened but I talked to her again and she told me that she loved me. Idk why when she dosent even know if Im a guy or not.

  
  
  yeah cause usually one is taking it way to seriously, while the other didn't know it was. why didn't you meet her irl? safety?

  lmao, I laughed irl XD
  
  I think it could happen definitely, but you always have to be careful and extremely cautious cause you dunno who these people are in real life. But once your hanging out with a person in game after a while the feelings could grow into something much deeper then just friends. I've had 2 online relationships and we would always talk on the phone eventually, so I knew who they were sorta. But I would never ask someone to cyber (its silly) or send noodz (well besides drunken Phunk 8D) It's kinda like irl when your friends with someone a long time (3+ years) and you just kinda get stronger feelings for em.

  It's a leap of faith to actually go and meet in real life.

  Well, my older sister has met her current boyfriend online and right now they're living together for a month at another house we own.

  Online relationships can work. I've seen some work, but I've seen more fail. :/ Make me worry sometimes. Camming is really important tough, it not only allows you to see what the person looks like, but also to read their emotions better. I personaly think that if both parties are honest, that you know someone better trough an online relationship than in real life, just because you're talking allot more. And it's easier to tell someone about the things that are bothering you and talk your problems out over the net than face to face.
  
  Sharing time: I've been in an online relationship since Jan '08, with a girl in Sweden. We've had our ups and down, even broke up for 5 months just before the first time we were to meet. It's pretty daunting and stressful with a super long distance relationship :/ But we finally met in March when she can and stayed with me for 3 months. Things were shaky at first, but went really well near the end. We were originally planning for me to move there in August next year if things went well, but how I'm feel now it might be sooner lol
  
  The worst part about it is not being able to be with that person. Having to see someone you care for go trough hardship and not even being able to really be there for them, only being able to comfort them a little with words.
  
  So yeah, an online/long distance relationship is allot harder than a more traditional relationship. Even with the internet allowing you talk with someone daily.
  
  But on a closing note, for what it's worth. If we break up, then I wouldn't do the online dating thing again. It's just to much at times. If I didn't love her so much I'd have given up on this a long time ago.

  Which is why you get to know them, first. Make sure they aren't all... secretly a crazy cat man/lady from down the street. >.>
  
  I've known Trystin for over a year, and I'm sure he isn't a cat lady. :B We clicked when we met but we didn't really do anything until a year later. We talk on Skype, AIM, over the phone, snail mail, and through texts. XD It feels like overkill. @___@;;
  
  But like, five years ago, when I was a tweeeeeen, I met this guy through a private Ragnarok online server. Apparently, everyone in our guild except for us knew that we liked each other. His IGN was Aale and his real name was Richard and we used to stay up late all the time talking. But we never told each other how we felt until the "last day." On the last day we talked, he told me he loved me and before I could say that I did too, he said "jk, haha." ;___; And then I said "Wait, what, hold on. Take that jk back." And he got flustered and was trying to tell me something about taking his jk back and then he d/ced. And I d/ced. And then we never saw each other or spoke to each other ever again. lololol@middleschooldrama/startingsentenceswithand.

  And now, we'll never know if he was really JKing. @___@ I think it's kinda sad how we never exchanged contact info so... ehh. @__@ All I knew was that his named was Richard, he lives in La Habra, and that his neighbors are Indian people who like to use a really loud vacuum at night.
