I don't want to put a damper on your love, just be careful. I met a man on a dating website. We e-mailed, snail mailed, and called each other for over 2 years. I flew down to spend time with him, and he flew to spend time with me. For Christmas that second year he gave me a ring. Then I moved down to where he lived and the bottom fell out.

He wanted a distance relationship (probably so he could tell his friends he had a girlfriend) but not a real one. He never told his friends it was a promise ring so when I met them in person, they asked how he proposed to me. Talk about an ackward situation!?! After only 4 months of living in the same city I got the "let's just be friends" speech. We could exchange multiple e-mails in a day, but we couldn't live in the same city with me.

I'm not saying it WON'T work, just letting you know to be cautious. Distance love can be exhilirating, but make sure that feeling is still there when you are in the same place as well.
