I while back I posted about maybe being in love with a guy a never met. Well, I love him and we've planned a future together. I'm only 17 and he just turned 18 but this summer he took the risk and came to my home for 2 whole months. I met my online boyfriend at 17. My parents love him, his mother loves me and he's made the choice to move here. I've never had a relationship before but honestly, witnessing a lot of failed relationships including my parents has shown me what true love should be. It's not easy, believe me. But its pure bliss. That's how I know. I love this man to pieces and he loves me to but the difference is how hard we fought to be together and how I'll continue to fight for us because I love him. He isn't just my "boyfriend", he's also my best friend. 2500 miles apart, we meet on xbox. I'd never have thought that this boy I had a crush on. That I used to sign onto immediately after school to talk to, my best friend would be my love.

Honestly I didn't even believe in love until I saw how hard someone could fight when they loved someone. Believe me, plenty of people pushed it off as a crush and silly and will never work. You know what, those people saw us together and congratulate me on this. They're happy for me when at first all they did was put me down and try to force me to give up.

Love is hard to find. That's why I didn't believe in it. But when you have the chance to be in love, take a step back and ask yourself how hard are you willing to fight for this person.

I just want to thank the PC community once again for the support on continuing to fight for what I believed was love because in the end it was worth it. We have been dating for almost 1 year sept. 11. Can you believe that we've only been together for 2 of those months.

People say distance makes it harder but honestly it helped. It made us trust even when we weren't sure because when you lose trust and that ability to fight to keep on going, that's when it fails.

To all those in long distance relationships, find out whether you are willing to fight, to put LOTS of energy into it because in the end, it is so worth it. If your not, then obviously you aren't best friends with this person. Love comes in many forms but its main form through family, friends and lovers is the trust you form before you feel more,

Good luck and thank you all for the love and support these past years on PC

I'm REALLY happy for you! Sometimes these long-distance relationships really work, and yours is a perfect example!

Thank you for coming back and letting everyone know. It's not often we hear such good news.

Thank you again, and I wish you both the very best! God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee

That is so sweet!! Congratulations! I can only hope that I find a love as strong and worth fighting for as the one that you two have found.

congrats!!! This is wonderful news, and I'm very happy for you! Even though I've never talked to you before, I'm always happy to see soemone find love and make the connection. yay!

I know that long distance can, for some people, be difficult but in the end, I totally agree with you that if you're willing to stick with them through that distance, they are probably worth sticking with in the end And I agree that it can build trust if you work at it, and as you say, fight for them. Good for you both.

Good luck and I'm glad you posted, because it's always nice to hear good news on here when things are, a lot of times, very distressing here on this site.

So thank you for that.
