For the ones who haven't met their love yet...

[noodle]

So recently I saw a lot of threads in here with people sayin they're meetin their SO soon, or are just on a visite or have met their SO recently...

Now a question to the one's who have never met their SO yet:
Do you get sad about not meetin your SO yet or does it give you more power for your own relationship?

I personally have to confess that when I first read it I get sad, I have planned to visite my bf 3 times so far and it has failed all 3 times due to my parents not lettin me leave.
Yet again after 5 secs of sadness I get happy again cause of you guys finally meetin the one you love and it gives me strength and I always say to myself "soon I will post a thread on here that I'm finally meetin my man"

I get sad about not meeting him yet. I wish I could have held his hand, or kissed him, just once, to have those memories to hold on to. But, I know it will happen as soon as possible, and Im okay with just imagining it for now . I get excited for others when I see their threads on here too, and it makes me get lost in imagining our first meeting.

I get totally upset since I can't see my SO yet. No offense, but everybody on here that have met or are about to meet their SO makes me kind of jealous sometimes (But I'm still happy for all of you anyways). Me and him tried to plan the exact date that we were going to see each other only for it to backfire greatly. Sometimes, I can't stand this that it gives me little power to change anything about our troublesome situation.

I do get upset, namely because I blame myself for not taking the opportunity to see him sooner. When we first began dating he kept offering to cut me a deal with one of the hotels linked to the Disney park so I could stay a while, he even offered to pay for the trip and get me a job with Disney. I declined it all because at the time I was scared stiff about the traveling and the whole seeing him in person and letting him see the frumpy little thing he decided would be his girlfriend.

We tried once in May for me to fly down for a week but it was last minute (as in the day he found out he had a week off) and through communication halting due to his job saying "loljk get back to work" it didn't happen and it was rather devastating.

I've never been comfortable with people touching me, kissing on me, or even taking my hand without permission but the longer I've been with him the more I crave this sort of thing, and only from him. It hurts the both of us, especially right now when he's working insane hours and we go such long periods of time without talking. The last direct conversation I had with him was on the 22nd of July and, like others before it, it was spent lamenting our lack of time and desperation to see one another. When we talked more often we'd often joke about sex and once he told me, "more than anything, I just want to kiss you. Is that weird? More than sex, I just want to kiss you."

I admit to being jealous a lot of times when I come here and read how people are visiting their SOs, just got back from a visit, they're planning to move in together, etc. Some of them have been together less time than we have, some longer, but it's bitterness all the same because circumstances keep kicking my chances in the gonads and not even offering an ice pack. A lot of times it feels like I never will get the chance to see him and I'll simply spend my life talking to a face on a screen, never to touch. Of course I'm pessimistic by design and I realize if I'm hard-headed enough eventually I'll say 'to hell with timing' and just show up, but right now I just sit in my own corner of existence and feel the sting of jealousy while at the same time feel happy for those who can have such a luxury and work hard to keep it.

I am the first to admit that not only do I get sad about not yet getting to meet my boyfriend, I get downright green with jealousy when I see others who have the opportunity to do so. I'm particularly sensitive about it right now as this is literally the week I had planned to fly out and go see him for the very first time and instead of sitting here wondering when he'll next get online, I SHOULD be picking out the outfits I want to wear and giggling like a nervous schoogirl. But I'm not. Instead I get the first option and it bites big time.

I suppose in a way it does give me that extra push of inspiration I need, but not really in the uplifting 'oh, aren't we so strong, I can keep waiting' sort of way. Rather, it eats me up inside that I don't know how long it's going to be until we can be together, even for a day, and it's that pain that makes me all the more forceful in working out yet another plans to go see him. I know I'll panic at the last minute and want to cancel my plans, but now that I know how it feels to have my plans cancelled FOR me, I won't be so stupid as to ever seriously consider it again.

My mom had offered to pay, IN FULL, to let my boyfriend fly overseas this past summer, but that went down the drain because his mom said no. I can understand, since he's only 16 and at the I was 14 (birthday was this past summer). I'm hoping for a slim chance to maybe fly him down New Years Eve or something and, although I know it wouldn't be the greatest atmosphere, New Years Eve is when my cousin is getting married and I thought it may be fun. There is probably a less than 30% of happening, but I like thinking about it. I truly TRULY hope I can get a passport by next summer and the money to stay with him in the Czech Republic.
As for reading about other couples meeting their SO's, I say good to them. At least they are getting successful and everything. I only get jealous of couples who get to be together everyday and take soooo much of it for granted. And, knowing our LDR couples, no one would ever do that when they get/got to meet

I'm not sad about not having met my girlfriend in person yet, because it's only a matter of time until I do.

Yes, parents can be a handful when it comes to visits. I get to see my SO for the first time in a few days, but we had to go through a year and 4 months for this to finally happen. This is our third attempt, and at first it wasn't going to work. You just have to stay strong and try your best to do what you can. If a visit doesn't work out, don't get discouraged, you'll just have to try again. But I did used to get sad when I came on here and seeing people meet their SO's within a few months of their relationships. But of course it depends on distance and parents and finances. The thing that had us fail so many times is because my SO doesn't have a job. He still doesn't, but thankfully his parents have financed this trip. So yeah, it's rough I know, been there, got a tshirt, but you just have to not lose hope. Then when it does happen it'll be the greatest thing ever

Do you get sad about not meeting your SO yet or does it give you more power for your own relationship?

I too would get so jealous and sad not having met, but I've always been happy for LDRs that have met and continue to get to see each other. I get more annoyed with those that take what they have for granted and I used to be that way too.

If I'm being honest, I'm not sure, if I had the opportunity to see him earlier (been just over a year now) that I could have handled it without stressing out entirely and postponing or canceling because I had sworn never to be in a relationship again. The year was important because all we have been able to do is talk and get to know each other so we have a good foundation of understanding. Also, I lied to him about a few things and I had to clear that up but that's for another post. And yes, we have finally set a date to see each other, which is great. The one thing I'm looking forward to, among many, is to kiss and hold him close, without saying anything, after such a long time.

No, i don't get sad about it as i know that i will meet her eventually so i enjoy every moment i have with her. So what that i haven't met her in person yet, the only thing that will add to our relationship is the ability to touch each other.

Yes it makes me sad. Its been WAY to long...it is so time to meet in person. But also...it isn't sad. I know that we will be together when the time is right...listen to the song... "To Be With You" by David Archuleta. Its the best song ever for this situation.
