I met my guy about five years ago on an online game. Never met before face to face, we've talked online pretty frequently through the game, but mostly through facebook. Recently (as of a week or so ago) this has quickly become something more! I mean we've flirted before, but it turns out we really like each other beyond just being some online friends. We've moved from FB to texting, haha. And no official plans yet, but we talk about eventually visiting each other within the next year. Funds appear to be tight for the both of us but hopefully this will happen.
Unfortunately, there is a giant body of water separating us... I'm American and he's European. This complicates things.
I've always been optimistic, but I really have a good feeling about this. We've called briefly and it was surprisingly natural for me which is amazing; I am a very shy person and tend to studder when nervous, and honestly can be a bit awkward because I never know what to say... I didn't do that with him. I talked totally normally, even it being our first one-on-one phone conversation. Hopefully we can start video chatting on the weekends; with work and the time difference it makes it difficult to do anything but text during the week.
I just really want to keep this going strong, but I also don't want to "outdo" anything and cause a stale relationship. I also want to keep positive. The distance is killing me and I'm already an impatient person. But I really do like this guy...quite a bit.
Suppose I'm just looking for general advice, similar stories, words of encouragement, etc. Thanks!
