| Long Distance/Internet Dating |
| 06.28.07 (2:19 am) [edit] |
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. 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! |

A thousand miles away? That is quite a distance. Have you considered some type of video chat through the internet? I'd think that would be fun, and maybe a bit more personal.
Congrats upon finding this happiness. May it last, and last, and last!

I actually think there are a lot of benefits to long distance relationships. I mean, you get a lot of independence and you can pretend they dont fart.

Absolutely beautifully. We've seen each other several times and talk every day. It's the first relationship I've ever had that was centered in faith first. Awesome. :)
Thank you for asking! Hope you're having a splendid day :)
