Longest wait

[Gingerboom]

Hello all,

 

In a similar thread to "how long til you see your LDR SO"...

 

I was just wondering what the longest time has been before you met up with your SO if you met online?

 

Has anyone been chatting for years and then finally met?

How did you feel? Great to finally meet? disappointed?

 

All the best LDR'ers

5 years and still haven't met. We were together 4 years ago, and I was going to move to be with him, but we broke up before it could happen. We stayed in love with each other during the time in between and we just got back together a month ago.

 

66 days from now I'll be having the best weekend of my life. Every day that passes makes my heart feel a little bit better, and makes me a little happier. Words cannot describe how excited I am to actually be able to see him, touch him, smell him, kiss him. Webcam and phone calls help, but when they are over with I'm left with this empty feeling in my heart, like I just lost my best friend, lol.

 

Is it sooo wrong to want to drive 1000 miles for a kiss? lol

wow, so 5 years chatting and you never ever met?!?! WOW WOW WOW.

That's a special relationship. And you also broke up before meeting but now back again and soon to meet finally! You must be going through so many emotions and thoughts :-s

 

I know the feeling: skype is great, msn is okay, texting is sweet and phone calls to hear their voice make your heart skip a beat, but you just cannot beat a real hug or kiss. If I could Id make the trip just to say night night but my SO is 3000 miles away and that'd be a pretty expensive flight lol.

 

So skype suffices

 

He's home tomorrow : ) after 3 months!!!

We've been chatting for 7 months or so now, and seen each other 3 times during that.

 

I'm excited, anxious, nervous, all kinds of crazy haha

 

I'm counting down with you x

Those 4 years in between were the hardest of my life. We kept in contact, kept talking, and at random moments he would say that he loved me(and he meant it), but I just brushed it off as a joke. He was my best friend for 4 years, and I hated seeing him with someone else, but I was with someone else too. It sounds bad to say this, it really does, but the whole time we were with these other people, we could never think of a reason why we were with them. We always wanted it to be us together. But now we are a little bit more grown up now, we are a bit more trusting, and we have much better communication.

 

He told me last night that he felt like he was SO much more in love with me now and that he would have never thought that would have been possible because he loved me so much before. :love:

 

Before I met him I was the type of person that thought that LDR's couldn't possibly work. I thought that they would only end in heartache. But after 10 minutes of chatting with him I knew that I wanted him to be mine. It's funny, and a little sad at the same time. But I wouldn't trade this in for anything.

 

I'm so excited for you!!!!

We met online nearly 10 months ago, and haven't met in person yet. We've had arguments and bust ups in between, but always circle back towards each other. I have dated other guys in the 'down' times, but my heart was never there. Only one person has it.

 

He is from a different culture to me, so patience is no biggie to him. And I mean patience in the years timeframe. Frustrates the heck out of me. We have cam and phone calls and IM and multiple texts per day..but as you say, it would be so nice to be IN those arms rather than just seeing them lol.

 

I was talking to a dear girlfriend the other night about him, and she can't understand how we can be taken with each other without having met...and I said but men I HAVE met and had long relationships with in the past haven't worked either, so much for being 'there' in each others' space. I have no idea whether we'll click in person, but so far we have the foundation with a whole lot of other things. And I like that!!
