Ummm... my husband and I met on the Net, IRC actually, back in 1996. We were friends for a year, and dated for another, all while living 900 miles apart.

It was hard as hell, and I wouldn't wish it on ANYONE, but we've now been together for over six years (married for almost five of those six) and we're still goin' strong. The work we put into maintaining the relationship long distance went a LONG way to helping build a rock solid foundation.

Wow----,! HAPPY FOR you, Tig! :)

Thanks! :)

The really cool part of having survived the long distance thing is that we've proven our committment through all that time apart. So, I don't have to worry about comin' into a great forum like this and lettin' my hair down [down RaVeN, down boy! You've got a frig to clean out before you can play! :p]. I can relax and play and have LOTS of fun, without fear of upsetting hubby. Am I lucky or what? :D
 
I have lots of friends who have met significant others thru internet dating services (match.com, etc.) for the most part, they seem to work better than meeting in a bar, but the problem is that you tend to give up on what may be a great person because of some arbitrary reason. If you had 5 great dates with someone, and then it turned out they had a pet snake, you'd be, "Oh, hm. Oh well." If you saw that in their profile, you'd be like, "Oh, no, not dating him." Also, I had one (former) friend who searched based on their income, which was NOT cool.
 
If your relationship begins with both people living miles apart then that's a lot easier to deal with than starting off together and then moving apart later. But it's still difficult.

Or you could just do what I do - don't tell your significant other what you're up to on here. Works like a charm. :cool:

Actually, yes it does. His exact response was, "Oh good! Now I have some help in feeding your need for attention!". :D
 
Oh god, I can actually hear RaVeN jumping out of his chair to come get you for that remark.

You obviously didn't read it well enough. I gave you two openings you could drive a truck through and you missed both. I'm beginning to think you've lost an interest in tigers.
