Re: OT: meeting online

[Guest guest]

Well, the last guy I met online I dated on and off for about 4

months. No horror story there, things just haven't worked out. He's a

really great guy...just not ready for a relationship I guess.

I would LOVE for things to work with this new guy. He's the SWEETEST,

CUTEST guy and he makes me SO happy to talk to. No matter what kind

of day I am having, just talking to him puts a smile on my face and

makes me happy. I talk to him everyday online and usually on the

phone as well. I am going through phone cards like crazy and his cell

bill has got to be outrageous! LOL As I said, he'll be going to Egypt

for 6 months to work and go to school. I told him 6 months isn't all

that long...who knows what will happen once he gets back. For now,

I'm just enjoying the here and now.

Thank you both for sharing your stories. It's amazing the reaction

I've gotten from people...99.9% of them telling me how stupid I am.

Good thing I'm not living my life for any of those people!!
