hey Wheelie

i have had several relationships that started online. In fact, the 3 major relationships that have meant the most to me personally all began online, including my relationship now with Massive. i don't think either of us were looking for anything serious, and though we've been chat room friends for a while, when the connection...well, connected, boy did it!

i had/have no fear about starting online....but the distance between Hym & me scared me like crazy....it still does a little. If we were at least on the same continent, i know i could drive or fly to see Hym without it costing $1000 and requiring lots of legalities. But, that's ok. We take it one day at a time. We talk a lot via skype, yahoo & text and let me tell ya there is nothing like getting a package in the mail and opening it up to see what goodies are inside!

But the bottom line is, it felt right. It feels so much more than right. It is meant to be. And it really is all about effective communication.....online or not.

There are fake people online and face-to-face. How often do you hear about how when people first meet they acted one way, but as time went on, they changed? It happens, no matter how people meet or interact. i do think it's easier to continue to be fake over the computer, but regardless, you have to take chances no matter what. And you're going to meet some people who suck and some who are great. That's how life is.

Taking chances, especially with your emotions, is never easy. But what's the alternative? Closing yourself off to possibilities? It's pretty safe, and lonely too. Yeah, i did that for many years....well, until Massi came into my life anyway.

Good luck to you! And don't let another person's experience or tale keep you from discovering what is and isn't right for you.
