Hmmmm..........realisticaly? It's gonna not work. But I hate realistic. I'll let you in on a secret. But that is for a message not a blog. Hillary would kill me if I posted it here.

I'm gonna say just do it. If the feelings are there, if it feels real to you you should go meet him or invite him over to you. You will always wonder what could have been, stranger things have happened and this could be one in a lifetime love...you'll never be sure if you don't try.

I know how it feels, how your thinking of him, how you can talk to him for hours, jsut a message makes you smile, right?

I would like to add that I would have him come to you, safety is always the number one issue online.

and good luck

I've had a couple long-distance internet thingies, and truly thought I was in LOVE with dude once.

Then we met in person and there was NO chemistry.

It was terribly disappointing, but we were able to remain friends.

I'd say, try to meet as soon as possible. If there's chemistry and other good things in person, then it may be worth carrying on the internet relationship for awhile, until or if you can get together somehow.

And if there's nothing in person, well, at least you'd know for sure, and the vexation would be gone.

Good luck, Halo.

I'd say if you have the money then go meet 'im! Make sure you do it in public though, because, well, you never know.

I think a long distance relationship is a very difficult thing and takes a great deal of love for each other to make something like that work, but I guess anything is possible.

I may be married now, but I have gone through a long distance relationship in the past and .....it was tough and failed.  Like I said though....a great  deal of trust and love could see you through it.

Of course I'm at a very bitter place in my life right now so I'm the last person that should be giving advice on love because I don't want to ever go through this crap again. LMAO jk

Goodluck to ya doll and your internet guy!

oh, AAAAAand make 'im come to you first-depending on which country it is, LOL

01/17/2008 09:26:23

yup- I agree- have you guys talked on the phone about it?

and steve is right it is too rare to just dismiss

steve's special devexing casserole recipe:

5 cups beer or wine

1 plane ticket, purchased online at 5am

1 TB vanilla (it's an aphrodesiac!)

1/2 cup noodles (to assure yourself you haven't lost yours) 

3 more cups beer or wine 

1 tsp ketchup  (it's an aphrodesiac!)

bone appetite!

go.do it. go there or get him to come to you. love is too rare to let trivialities like time and/or space interfere.

For what it's worth, I know of three couples who met online and are now living together VERY happily. I think the key from the outset  is honesty, open-ness and, most importantly, trust, since trust is really all we have in this crazy cyber-w azy cyber-world we all choose to inhabit.

I don't think I could have said in any better than squirrell did!

Hey I have been there before time will tell its kind of hard with the whole distance thing though but if he likes u and u like him I would hang in there and see what happens

01/17/2008 08:15:02

alas such is the internet one if the greatest things about it (being able to talk to people you would otherwise never meet) is also one of the biggest downfalls about it for this very reason its happened to me a couple of times and to be honest for me it never worked although saying that one of my mates was in an online relationship for a few years and that seemed to work quite well, as for advise i'd say that if you can see it working then go with it if not then the best way to get out of it would be to just tell him the truth that you do like him but just cant deal with the distance, what ever you do choose just make sure its right for you.
