Defying Age and Distance
I am missing my SO terriblely so I figured telling our story would help, so here it goes.
This all started when I joined a text based RPG, a friend from another site had convinced me to join his, even though I was getting tired of all the drama that was circulating these fourms, I reluctantly signed up. A week or two after I joined I noticed that this particular fourm didn't have a "share you pictures" topic, and me being the ever curious, I made one starting off with pics of myself of course. During posting this I also happening to be talking to a few people in the chatroom, and after I had posted the pictures I had recieved a bunch of compliments from all the guys I had been talking to, now for me this was really rare because I had never really been complimented by guys before, in fact, I rarely talked to guys outside the safety of the internet.
Now I don't quite remember how it happened but I suddenly ended flirting with one of the guys after we had exchanged IM screen names, this was even more rare, I've never been much of a flirt. After awhile we settled down and I decided to ask how old he was, usually all the members of the RPG tend to be around 14-18 so I really wasn't that worried myself at the time being 15. The answer I got totally shocked me and returned me to reality, he was 20. After we both exchanged ages it seemed as though all conversation died, we both knew it was illegal to be together. Suddenly an IM appeared, he said he didn't care about how old I was and that it shouldn't matter as long as we remain LD, I quickly agreed, I already had such strong feelings for him, I don't know what it was, there was just something about him that made me feel safe.
Suddenly I realized that I had to leave my computer, my best friend was having her birthday party/ sleepover that weekend, afraid I would lose him over the weekend I asked if he wanted to exchange cell numbers so that we could text, I had explained how nervous I was over it because my parents had taught me to be wary of strangers over the internet, so he sent me his number and told me to text it if, or whenever, I felt comfortable. Honestly I couldn't even wait as soon as I left the house headed towards my friends house I texted, I had recognized the area code and my heart almost shattered right then and there. He lived in New York, and I lived in Arizona, that's across the entire country almost, its a grand total of over 2,000 miles apart.
The hardest part about the whole relationship isn't the distance it's the age gap, because of this we have to keep everything a secret, and because of that it also means we can't see eachother as oten as we'd like to, although we did get a chance to meet up in October and honestly it was well worth the wait, that was the best weekend of my life and I know that no matter what barriers stand in our way we will overcome them because love doesn't discriminate.
