Hello all,
My name is Briawna and here is my LDR story: I met the love of my life on a dating site on September 20, 2012. I had just gotten out of a relationship 3 months ago which was HORRIBLE!! My past relationship was very rocky, my ex was a compulsive liar and he cheated on me! I felt like there was no hope of finding love again, and from that point on I put a barrier up and was not going to let anyone through. Come September I began thinking, "I've been dating local guys, why not try another approach." On September 16, 2012 I joined a dating site. Men were sending me many messages and comments on my pictures but none of them really impressed me, until I came across my boyfriend Jarrett's page on September 19, 2012. His page really sparked my interest. The only problem was he lives in Chicago, IL while I live in Vancouver, WA. So I sent him a message introducing myself and saying that I would love to get to know him. About 2am that night Jarrett responded back asking if I wanted to talk. I wanted to talk but at the same time I was tired, so we arranged to Skype the next day. Before Jarrett and I Skyped I was super nervous because in my mind I was thinking," Is he going to look like his picture? Will he like me? Will he be like my ex?" I was still hurt over my ex, but I wanted to get over him and move on. When Jarrett and I Skyped it was magical! He was a gentleman and I could tell he had a genuine heart, he made me laugh, and he was very handsome. We shared the same characteristics and he liked to do the same things as me and that's what I loved about him. Over the next couple weeks I was very shy with Jarrett and would not open up, while he was an open book. I was shy because I was afraid if I opened up I would get hurt again. Jarrett understood that and he was patient with me. As the next month passed I began opening up with Jarrett and we grew closer and closer to each other and we made it official! When the months go by, Jarrett and I began getting a anxious about meeting face to face. On April 5, 2013 Jarrett came to visit me for a couple days. When I saw him walking towards me, it was like we were the only people in the airport. I cried when he left but then I remembered this won't be the last time seeing him...and it wasn't. We saw each other again in July and celebrated our birthdays together. I have had the best times of my life with Jarrett! A year a month together and we are still going strong! I can honestly say we were meant to be together<3

Makes me think back to that moment meeting my man for the first time at the airport as well. Such a nerve wracking experience, but the best feeling in the world! Anyway, welcome to LFAD, and best of luck with your relationship
