It's been one month... It's crazy and I know. I'm told by everyone.. He grew up in my home town and went to my high school, but somehow we have never met... We met on facebook and he gave me his number... We started texting, then skyping and calling, and we clicked instantly. March 8th, that's when we started talking. On March 21st he asked me to be his girl after countless days of texting everyday. Even bought me minutes so I could talk to him. We have one best friend in common, he was stationed in Cali when we started talking.... And as we started texting... He started liking me more and more... And I he, we share the same interests and it's like he knows exactly what j am thinking and feeling. He can piss me off then two minutes later make me laugh, he was deployed April 1st, now to get to what I'm feeling. I know quite a bit about him, but I am so curious about him I want to know more, he's constantly calling me beautiful and saying I am perfect for him and that he can't wait to meet me when he comes home and be in my arms.. He cares about me as I do him, I feel like it's been so much longer than a month with him. He is the first person I think about when I wake up and the last person before I go to sleep. His voice relaxes me and makes me forget my bad day. I have no freaking idea why I care about him already this much, I'm worried about him over there and haven't heard from him since he said goodbye to me before he had to shut off his phone in Yuma and told me "I have to go beautiful, I will get ahold of you the first chance I get, you are beautiful baby and perfect for me, I'm yours don't worry about me baby I can't wait to have you in my arms" when i think of him.... I get butterfly's. A mixture of worry and something else. I'm always waiting for his reply. I'd wake up at 4a.m. If I have too... I can't describe this feeling... Am I crazy? I think about him so much and a huge part of me wants to wait for him so I can hold him but the other part is scared he won't stick around... What should I do? I think I'm falling for him... Could it be?

I hate to say this, but it could just be a fantasy.... you have never met... you might discover within minutes of meeting that you are not attracted. It happens a lot. On the other hand, it might go well you just never know. We are strangers until we meet.

 

The other problem is, only 1 in 1,000 LDR's work out.

 

For what it's worth though, I hope you beat the odds.

You forgot that you met him, but now you remember?

 

Have you ever video chatted with him, or whatever you kids call it nowadays?

Not really sure what your question is.. This sounds more like a diary entry. Lol. Will it work? Who knows. Too early to tell. My guy is on deployment right now. At first, it was okay. We talked all the time - so much to learn about each other! :love: and then when it got to the half year mark of an 8 month deployment.. I just feel bored nowadays. I'm getting tired of the conversation, and I'm rethinking this whole dating a military guy thing. Deployment is tough, and you will find out soon enough. But i guess yiu get used to it. There's really nothing to decide yet. It's too soon. Good luck.

For now this is a fantasy not a relationship. You haven't been on a proper date. You are somebody to keep him grounded while he's deployed and that is wonderful. Everybody needs a touch stone but don't make any promises other than to see where this goes when he gets home.

Yes, we skype and video chatted daily before he deployed he won't get his wifi hotspot until Wednesday when he can get to the tents but he's gettig ahold of me anyways he can to let me know he's always thinking about me, and yes. I did forget I met when I went to the high school I was like 14-15 years old. I've moved around a lot. His deployment is 6-7 months. I also have a full time over night job and my son to keep me busy until we meet again in person, I'd like to stay his girlfriend though. Maybe it is a fantasy right now... But when he comes back home... It will be a reality... And no, I'm not introducing him to my son until we are completely serious and I know this is a for sure deal and that my feelings and his aren't going to fade.

As long as you approach this logically -- contact as available while he's deployed & some real dates when he is stateside again, maybe. It's certainly worth trying. Just don't put all your eggs in one basket & guard your heart.

You are living in a fantasy world but it does not mean it can't materialize.

 

I met my ex-husband 1 time then he was sent oversea for 7 months. I waited for him. Back then we didn't have the Internet, we wrote to each other every day and he called me 3 times in 7 months, that is all they were allowed to. When he got back we dated till I finished college and then we married.

 

It's allowed to dream, actually it's necessary to dream :-) Good luck with everything.
