Long Distance Relationship/Online Romance

Thanks for you contribution, sexy xx

Ditto on all that my boyfriend has posted about our LDR. In my previous post on LDR, I probably gave the impression to readers that I was innocent throughout the first year or so of our LDR – I wasn’t and he knew about it.

We met online through a chat room (we’ll save the long story!) and at the time, I was chatting to numerous people around the world and so did he. It would be stupid of me and him to think that we were only chatting to each other. I can’t remember the name of a social networking website we were both on but that was probably the time where we decided enough was enough after we saw what was written by other people to us separately including the things we say to them. The women were all over him, and men were all over me. At that point, I stopped chatting to other guys although I’m sure it was hard for him to believe that ‘smile’.

Like him, I met all sorts of characters online. There were a few far in between that were nice but like any other woman or man – you tend to be very cautious when someone is way too nice. My boyfriend is genuinely nice without trying too hard (very good looking and suave too) and women tend to gravitate toward him because of that. In retrospect, I liked him a lot because he was interested in finding things out about me – genuinely interested, unlike some men that were on there.

We let each other down at times and we never disregard that fact. My boyfriend is not afraid to say what is on his mind, whereas I tend to keep things to myself even though they are bursting to be heard! But being with him has taught me to open up more. It has been easy for us because we talk about things that bother us – no matter how repetitive those things can be at times ‘smile’. I know for a fact that he knows my raison d'être for being suspicious at times. He had his fair share of being suspicious of me too.

HOPE was the one thing that kept us going. We never lost hope for us to be together in person. That’s another thing that is important in a LDR – to never give up hoping for the best. For 4 years, we have gone through so much. I’m in awe with myself for having the guts and patience to go through all those things we went through because of my views on online romance – to be more precise, relationship altogether.

Sure, we have a lot of other things to figure out and discuss as my boyfriend has stated. With so many things that have happened and yet, we are still standing strong – it definitely means something! As for marriage (from the comment we received), it won’t happen anytime soon so don’t hold your breathe!
