Sensitive Love
I was in the Zone one day and I commented on this nick that started with “DA”, thinking that it meant “district attorney”. LOL he asked for a game and the rest is history. My first impression was that he was a cocky thing and he turned out to be the most sensitive love I've ever met. I think it took a couple of months before I got to see his picture. He didn’t have a scanner. The second or third time we played, we exchanged phone numbers. I felt VERY apprehensive about giving it out, but something just said "Go ahead and do it!" Little by little, as I learned about him, and spoke to him, and the fears he lived through with me spoke volumes. About 2 months after we spoke, we met in person for Thanksgiving. Before the meeting, I was terrified. I was so afraid I wouldn’t be what he wanted. When I saw him that first time coming off the plane, I knew I wanted to be with him, but was so insecure about it. As the days wore on, I knew he was feeling the same way, so that gave me the confidence to live and show how I felt. When it was time to part, we both cried, it felt as if we were both being ripped apart. Now that we’re back online, I miss him terribly and cry often for him. He returned for a second visit and went home, but not without promising that we will be together forever very soon. I know we will meet again. And there will be that time when he doesn’t have to leave ever again. As far as something developing from the relationship, something like marriage, one can only hope!!! I never thought I would meet the man of my dreams online, the man I have been waiting for all my life, the one who I found that finally makes me complete.
Incredibly Intense
I first met him in the gaming zone's Spades rooms. He was trying to figure out how to use the Zone Messages, and asked how in the lobby of one of the game rooms. I answered. He thanked me, in a Zone Message, and that was about it. The next day, I believe, he sat down to play spades at my table. We became friends after that. He was and is one of the nicest people I've EVER met. He is kind, intelligent, witty, warm, and so darned sexy it makes me hurt just thinking about him. I think it was about a month or more before I saw a pic of him, and more than two months before I got a scanner and scanned some of the more flattering pics of me. I gave him my work number. I felt safer there, and that was probably 5 weeks or maybe a little bit more before I did that. I felt incredibly vulnerable giving it out. I noticed my feelings changing because I started seeking him out whenever I would go online. I would feel a little twinge of jealousy when I would see him playing with someone else, but I had a lot of online love interests at that time. It took over 2 years before we met and oh, my GOD... I was a nervous wreck. My son had gone off to college, and I'd spent the summer worrying about it, eating every cookie in sight. Then it was time to meet him. I was in such deep trouble, but I needed him, so I went through with it, vanity be damned. I was a little bit heavier than I wanted to be, but I got through that just fine. I knew that I loved him for real before I ever met him. When I DID meet him, I fell more deeply in love than can be imagined. The time flew by, and then I was kissing him goodbye at the airport. It nearly broke my heart to let him go home. It felt as if someone was ripping my heart out. I’m fine now that we are back online. And it is still the easiest way to be with him, but our time is not limited to just being online. Initially, he came to see me, and we agreed that I would go see him when I could manage it, which was not quite 2 months after that. Our relationship is incredibly intense, and very wonderfully loving. After time with him, physically, though, needless to say, some things are just not the same after. Our third meeting will be in less than 3 weeks' time, which is 3 months since the last one. I already know that I will spend the rest of my life with this man, and that Eternity is a journey we'll make together. I wasn't looking for love online. I was certainly sceptical that it could happen. I was there to play and to have fun, I wasn't looking for a man, seriously.
Very Special Man
We met on-line in the village square. He seemed like a very confident and funny person but after talking with him at length, I found that a lot of the laughter was for hiding what his real life was all about. It took about 4 months before I knew what he looked like. About 8 months after talking we exchanged phone numbers and at that point I was not apprehensive about giving it out, he is a very special man. I found myself thinking about him all the time. We met about 1 year later and I was very afraid that I would want more then what I could actually have. Meeting him was GREAT. I enjoyed myself and wanted to be alone with him to tell him how I felt. When was time to leave, I was crushed, I didn't want him to leave. I feel even more for the man today then I have before. I learn more and more about him all the time. I find that we are much closer now and I sure hope that one day, very soon, we will meet again. I very easily could see a life long relationship developing. I never did think I would find love online but I did, I love this man a great deal.
Incredibly Rapidly
We first met in the Village on the Zone. I guess you could say I threw myself at him. lol As we talked, I got to find out he was fun, sincere, affectionate and my first impressions turned out to be 100% right. Mind you, I had no idea to what extent these qualities stretched out when I first met him. There was a bit of a gap when we couldn’t see each other online, but once we were together again, it didn’t take long before we exchanged pictures, maybe 3 weeks. We exchanged phone numbers within a month of getting back to seeing each other online, and no, no apprehension, I felt I knew him really well by that point. From then on, other than over Xmas, we have spoken on the phone almost every day, adding up to hundreds of hours I would guess. From the first time we met, we knew there was "something" there I think...since then, every day that has passed has seen my feelings for him grow stronger, and I think some of that is due to the fact that I know those feelings are reciprocated. Unfortunately, we have yet to meet :( because we live on different continents. Even though we haven’t met yet, when we do, I can already tell what it will be like to leave him behind when it’s time for us to part and go back to our own world so to speak. I believe that something will come out of the relationship, I don’t know when, but it will happen.
I sure didn’t think I’d find love online, it grows incredibly rapidly. You get to know someone far faster online than you ever would in real life. You quickly find that there is little that you don’t know about the other person.
