Query
I used to post here a lot, don't recall my old sn so I made a new one... anyhow... I recently found myself in an odd situation... I'm getting very close to a friend online who lives on a different continent... and I remembered that there were somepeople here who had had something similar (my vague memory recalls Tia and Selfbiased... but that could be wrong.. it was a good long time ago that I posted here). I was wondering if someone could tell me the story (mainly so I can see how others have dealt with a very similar seeming situation, perhaps as a way to deal with my own current situation.

They lived on the same continent...
It lasted for a while but long distance relationships never last ...for that matter close distance relationships sometimes don't last...think of it this way, this person is far away how can you please them in every way neccessary to keep them from straying????

If somebody is going to answer that question... do it by PM. We've had enough of that story, and since I won't allow the participants to even bring it up any more, I don't want anybody else doing so. It's done and over with it. Let it rest.

So you are a Moderator still, Ming? It only shows MTG as a mod of Off Topic.
 ACK!

Dude don't even take a long distance relationship into account... too much pain... too much doubt... I tried it.. and made it work for a year... but things do deteriorate after a while... especially if you don't see each other once in a while

well, if it worked out such that we would start a relationship, I would probably end up moving there. Always kind of wanted to live there anyway. So it wouldn't be long distance for a long time. I was more trying to look into peoples experiences with meeting people online.

I have two freinds that have had them last for 4 plus years
of course they are only half a continent away (Minnesota to Oregon)
it is very veyr hard for some people, doable for others, probably all but impossible for still others

I've been with a woman I met online for almost 2 years, the last 10 months we've been married.
ACK!

um... who the heck is GP? and I rather doubt you'd guess who I am... probably won't even get the gender right. I want to stay anonymous.

What happened was that MarkG found out that Ming and I were gay lovers and so, being Greek, MarkG got jealous and banned us both.
Inspired by the torrid affair, Tia and selfbiased fell in love and the rest is history.
