I stumbled upon this site while just looking up random facts on LDRs for entertainment, and it's truly helped reading about others going through the same things. I figured I would share our story so far...
I met my significant other back in the summer of 2008. We are both self proclaimed nerds, as we met on an internet chat/game. I was still healing from a bad break-up with an ex-fiance, and the last thing I was looking for or needed was another love interest.. But from the beginning, there was always this connection - a sense of familiarity. At first, we merely chatted about generic things, and soon we found our conversations to be lasting all through the hours of my night, and well into his mornings... I'm on the east coast of the US, and he's in France. =(
We talked for several months, and sort of lost contact around January 2009. Occasionally, we would chat again, but not like we had before. We both had varying schedules, and with the difference in time zones... It was difficult. But yet, even for both of us... When I would occasionally think about him, I would send him an e-mail or vis-versa. July of 2010, we began chatting again. In August, he'd admitted to being in love with me, and had always had a strong love for me. I was always so reluctant and held back, because I never wanted to hold him back if there was someone on the same continent that might make him happy. Of course, I caved and admitted to him how much I cared for him as well...
Since then, there's been no looking back, only forward. He's planning on visiting within the next few months. It's just a bit difficult as we're both still in school (college). We skype whenever we get the chance, and talk literally every day. There are days he will go without sleep just so we can talk until midnight my time - as we're six hours apart...
I'm realistic, and I know the chances of this succeeding are beyond slim... But at the same time, he makes me more happy than I am sad. We'll keep going until there's nothing further in sight, but god willing - our future together is in sight...
