I just thought to write a brief introduction at first. Testing the water, making sure that people are reading since that's what it's all about. So, I don't know how many of you have or have had internet relationships before. I'd say it's a little difficult to make a long story short, but at this time, the state that I am in with my significant other isn't exactly a "romantic" long-distance relationship per se. The fact of the matter is that for a while we agreed upon having a close relationship with each other while staying away from that "romantic" part.
Recently we have known each other for nearly 3 years. I say recently because we had talked before in the past but after a while faded out of memory. But 4 years later, boom! She's back. Basically I first met her when we were kids. About 11 and 13 at the time. We liked talking to each other a lot and in our still-developing little minds, we called it love. After a couple years of IMing and e-mailing, I don't know what happened really, the idea of love must have become disenchanted to me. It was then that the talking and e-mail responses got few and far between. But like I said, fast forward four years later, she sends me an e-mail out of nowhere. It was pretty much a shock to think that after four years of not talking she hadn't forgotten about me. Unfortunately for me, she hadn't stayed so strong in my memory at the time.
So, since then we decide to talk to each other online just as we had before. Except we are older and wiser now. We started off talking for hours upon hours, day after day. It wasn't long before we got closer and closer. Unintentionally, after about a year and a half or so of nonstop conversing (almost literally), we slip into romantic status or "bf/gf" status. It was about that time that we thought one of us should visit the other. Well, either of us hardly has the money to do a thing like that. You see, she lives all the way accross the country, in Mississippi, compared to where I am, Alaska. So, it takes a good bit of money to get from here to there. We had figured that Near Christmas time would be a good time to see each other, but I saw as to how my parents didn't approve of it, so I wasn't able to. This discouraged us and thereforeeee our relationship suffered as a result. But as they say, time heals all wounds. We never stopped being friends and vowed since then that our relationship would be limited to friend status. These days we don't talk on the internet. It's strictly limited to phone conversations. There's a whole lot more I could say to explain my relationship with her in a more detailed manner, so this is the basic history. Anyway, I feel I've said more than enough already.
Thanks for reading.
