So, I do not think I have ever sat down and down a proper (detailed) introduction of my relationship with my SO on this forum- so without further adieu here is one I had written down the other day. It is quite long, stay with me on this lol

Oh Goodness, where to begin. Well, I suppose I can try and start from the beginning- times like these I wish I had perfect memory. Alright, from the beginning..well my SO and I met on a secret sharing app. He posted a picture (black and white selfie from the chest down) with a question on it. Now, on this app, of course everyone is "thirsty" as hell, so of course I responded with severe sarcasm when I messaged him about his "not-so secret" secret. It definitely did not go as I expected I wasn't expecting him to ever answer me, let alone continue talking to me and not going all pervert on me as most people had done exceedingly quickly within conversing. I always found that somewhat odd, not only that he never went perv on me, but that he answered all my questions (I ask about a million+ questions to get to know people) and also held very good intellectual conversation as well! I was pretty much floored after a week or two of conversing with him on this app, I think it was he who asked for my number to which I felt perfectly at ease giving to him which was definitely a first for me as I had never been so at ease with someone from that app having my number ever. Well, I continued to ask questions, and through which I had learned so much about him. For instance, he lives in Alberta, Canada he is a Canadian Armed Forced soldier (though I knew that tidbit from the moment I messaged him) he loves the country as much as I do (country music, trucks and wide open land and whatnot) but at the same time was not some simple redneck stereotypical country boy as I've met around here (and ALL OVER online) instead he was funny, open-minded, kind, and smart. I could not believe it. Over months of texting, he decided now was the time for our first phone call. I told him I'd stay up for him considering he said he'd be working til late. Still, I didn't expect him to call me at 5 or so in the morning! During said phone call I told him I enjoyed his voice (voice and smell and stuff are all very important to me, yes I know it is weird lol oh well) he said he liked mine and that he also liked me. That's when I told him I liked him too. =) What will make this call forever memorable is he used his trucks onstar to call me, then he was so hungry after work that he went through the drive-thru with me on onstar! It was so cute! He apologized to me and said that he really just needed to mow down on this burger- I could hear the wrapper crinkling lol He told me we have got to Skype call soon, and "how about tomorrow?" I said sure, and due to life, in a couple days we had our first Skype call! At my best friend's house, using my pc and him his phone we had a somewhat short call (maybe a half hour) it was great because I was nervous at first, but once I saw his face, the nervousness was completely gone. We talked, I forget what about, when it got a little silent due to awkwardness we made silly faces at each other. It was so lovely. Nervous feelings and all.

A few months after that, he got accepted into a training program in Germany for a about a month. When he got back he called me, because we could not talk during this program. Then maybe a month down the road he called me to tell me that he had been given orders to deploy. A week went by without hearing anything from him after that due to him being extremely busy. He did tell me where he was headed, though he wasn't really supposed to do that it was kind of a secret but oh well. However, in the morning I woke up to a phone call from him, saying that he had to call me because they were getting ready to ship out. There were a lot of "I'm gonna miss you" 's and then I heard some yelling in the back ground and he told me had had to go, that they were shipping out right now. So silly me, after saying goodbye I hung up and as I was ending the phone call, I heard him as he was about to say something. So, of course I face palmed that one and immediately called him back. He answered the second time I called. I said, "You were going to say something?"
"Yeah.." he said, " This may sound weird, but, I love you."
"I love you too. When I say that, know that I mean it."
That was the first time we ever told the other we loved them. It was a true movie moment. Well, when he came back he called me before he called his mom and talked to me and I was so shocked I was totally not sure at all what to say to that. That's when I knew though. I knew exactly how much he cared for me.

Now, fast forward, we had been together for 10 months before he decided to break it off. It was a month after he came back from deployment- I think he had trouble transitioning again. Now, I will be skipping over some things as they are unimportant to me and to this story.

Fast forward to this February and we decided (I decided) to try this all again. He had wanted to since September, but I could tell he wasn't at his best just then and that he needed time. Anywho we are now currently together as just as strong as before, but twice as determined to make it work. We both see a future with each other and as of right now we are currently planning our first meet. 2000+ miles and an international border between us and we are finally planning that first meet!
