| Me and my wonderful online love... |
| by Lisa |
One day I was feeling really depressed. My best friend had just got in a car accident and was killed instantly a few weeks before, and the funeral was the next day and I just couldn't get my mind off of him. So I decided to get online and meet a 'companion' on there and just talk to some people about my situation. I thought maybe I would find someone who had gone through what I had...
I posted some information about my problems on some AOL message boards. Almost instantly I got an IM from a guy who lived in Indiana. (I live in Arizona.)
We started out as just friends. He seemed to be a lot like me and we had a lot in common. We talked for hours everyday and I had feelings for him from the first day we talked.
We continued talking for a whole year, about everything and anything we felt, except for our feelings for each other, which continued to grow with time. Then I went on vacation to Tennessee and then I went on a mission trip for church to Mexico for a whole month. I missed him so much! Even on the first day I was gone, and I realized that I had to tell him how I felt when I got home..
I got home, and a few weeks passed and I couldn't get the courage to tell him what I felt about him. Finally on September 13, he told me all about how he was feeling and it was exactly what I felt too!! We have been a couple since then.
Recently in June of 2002, he came to stay with me for 2 weeks, and it was the best 2 weeks of my entire life. I was so nervous going to the airport, and when I saw him, I just knew it was him. He was so handsome, and everything I had imagined him to be. He had been honest with his pictures and in everything he told me about.
We had fun hanging out, going out and doing everything every normal couple does. When he had to leave, I cried about it. It hurt me a lot. The first day he had left was the worst day.
Before we met, everyone told me that our relationship wouldn't work out. But I stayed strong and had faith in him. All you need is faith and honesty in a relationship like this one. Don't listen to what other people tell you. Think for yourself, but also, be wise. Not all online relationships work out the way mine has, so be careful.
As for me and my online love, we are meeting again in December 2002 at his place. Then in July of 2003, he plans on moving here with me for a while until I get out of college, and then we will move back to Indiana. I cannot wait!! Wish me luck, and I wish all of you luck in your online loves. But remember to be cautious. |
