Topic: is it possible?

Ok. So a while ago, I posted a new topic about all the cute guys and where are they in cincinnati. Yeah a few of you had your fun with it. Good for you. I'm glad I can make you laugh.

But someone in that topic was sincere and told me that maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to move (I said do I have to move to meet my Mr. Right)... because at least then I would meet the guy of my dreams and I'd be happy. And that is all that matters.
Well, it's not so simple. I have children with lives here. So I can't move for another 10 years at the earliest. And I own a house here where I live.

So.
Here's what happened. I did start talking with someone who lives pretty far away from me. We've been talking on the computer, on the phone every day. I really like this guy. I'm not the kind of girl that goes throwing my love around freely either. I don't get in a relationship just to be in one. It has to mean something to me. The person I'm dating has to mean something to me.
So.
What I want to know... I haven't met him in person yet. What are your opinions of having feelings for someone who you haven't even met yet? I know I have feelings for this person. I mean, I can't deny that. I even dreamed about him. Crazy.

So what's your thoughts?

hm. well i did date a guy once that lived in maryland. we dated for a couple of years. he'd fly to see me and i'd fly to see him. but ultimately, it ended because neither one of us could just pick up and move our lives around. it was just impossible. and it hurt. he was truly loved.
so i guess i am cautious. but i don't want to miss out either.

This same thing happened to me. I say meet him, and soon. This way you'll know if your feelings are real. It is totally possible to develop real feelings for someone you met only online, but it is the in person reality that will confirm or deny those emotions.

I met my boyfriend from here, and he lives over 2000 miles away at the moment. I knew in my heart that I fell in love with him before I met him, and meeting in person was better than I could have hoped for.

How long have you been talking? When do you plan to meet?

Well then let him know how you feel and tell him up front that you don t know how soon you could relocate to him...
Or ask him if things went well could he relocate to you, and how soon he thought it might be before that happened...

I fell in love with someone the same way, I met him 4 weeks later, drove down to Texas to be with him. I will be moving down there to be with him after basic, we are both Army..It's the distance thing that is killing me right now but I'm just trying to hurry up and leave so I can get home before he goes back to Iraq...I could not imagine life without him and we are planning to marry in 09, when he comes home from Iraq...

We've been talking for a couple of weeks. I know it's moving kind of fast, but we have talked about that. He says people will say we're moving too fast, but how can you control when you feel something for somebody. He says that he lets nothing stand in his way when he finds something he wants. So. On that note, we plan on meeting pretty soon. Probably within the next couple of weeks. Nothing set in stone just yet. But both of us are looking forward to it.
Good luck to you with your new love.

it's happened to me before. but in this case I was in love with the idea of him. after we met and we hung out for a while...I realized the idea wasn't good.

again follow your heart, but be open too.

we've got very open communication. that's one thing i really like about him. he's not a man that's scared to say what he's feeling and he's also not a man that will go running away when i tell him how i feel. it's very comfortable.
he is aware that i'm unable to move and he tells me that he doesn't want to stay where he is anyway. he really doesn't like it where he is.

well for starters you have to acknowldge that you are in love or crazy about the side you know .. people are multi dimensional and it is always easy to be nice in the beginning I say slow your roll and meet him in person .. people on line tend to build up a fantasy person that nooen could or should live up to ...jmho

i realize this, also.
i've been very careful to be completely open with him and listen and pay attention to any hesitations he may have. there really are none. you're right. EVERYONE is nice in the beginning. well, almost everyone.

Ok then sounds like he may relocate to you !!

Talk, date, and get to know him, he could be the one...

I met my SO after only a month as well. I could've cared less if people thought we were going too fast. I care only about my heart and his. I'm well aware that there are many things yet to learn and experience and I'm prepared for that to be both wonderful and stressful. I think we talked on the phone over 3,300 miutes last month alone.

Fact is, you need to do what your heart tells you so that your head won't fantasize it away.

And thank you for your well wishes. Same to you and yours. flowerforyou
