I met my sweetie on another blog site via a mutual friend.  He lives 1000 miles away - literally - so it has its share of challenges.  

What I like about it :  

We started out as people with mutual interests chatting about those interests.  It wasn't a dating service - we started out as friends.  The emotional aspects kicked in later.   

We've spent months talking about our faith, families, dreams for the future, past relationships, etc.

After 3-4 months of talking, we finally met face to face.  I felt instantly like I was home. 

Each being divorced, we're very dedicated to not experiencing that again.

Despite the distance, we have movie dates - finding movies we have in common or renting them, hitting Play at the same time.

My mailbox is surprised by "thinking of you" greeting cards... that's SO cool.

We're really enjoying ourselves.  Hoping to close the distance relatively soon.  Meanwhile, we're keeping those cell phones and text messages burning!
