Beyond the emotional connection thing you have for this guy, what is going on deep down inside of u that is preventing u from finding a guy to date in yr own city?
i'm curious to know, because i don't understand the long distance relationship thing. i mean why have a long distance relationship if u can find someone nearby who would be a good BF?
The way i see it, good, relationship-worthy guys are not an endangered species-- they can be found close to home too. It's not necessary to search hundreds or even thousands of miles away to find them.
Also... the only time i have seen long distance romantic relationships work is where a guy leaves for military deployment and leaves his wife/gf behind... (in other words they met and had a relationship in person prior to the seperation in distance).
I never seen one work where someone met someone else over the internet. From what I have seen of the internet type.. they seem to fizzle out sooner or later, if they are not able 2 meet in person.

Lucy, I just moved and my boyfriend is someone I was with before I moved. We were broken up when I made the decision to move, but we had started talking and spending time together and realized that 1. We made each other happy and 2. We had both been pretty miserable during that time we had broken up. We both knew that it would be hard, but we decided that since we were given a second chance together, we weren't going to let distance deter us.
There was a very strong connection between us from the moment we first met. Maybe that's cliched but it's not something I've really experienced with too many other people. Maybe no one. All I know is that he's not a person I'm going to give up on very easily.
Right now it seems to be going well, we talk on the phone pretty much every night before bed and we'll text back and forth during the day and that seems to be working for us-I just don't want our conversations to become stale. But I've been looking stuff up online so I'm starting to get some ideas.
