I used to be very cynical about internet dating, the idea of having a long term relationship with someone hundreds or thousands of miles away, and whom you've never met, seemed totally unfeasible to someone who lives five minutes from his girlfriend and sees her every other day.

Even though you're still very young, Celes, you've opened my eyes to how, if people care about each other enough, then distance becomes nothing but an irritant. I don't think I could do it but I'm really happy to see that for you at least it seems to be going really well so far.

I'e never 'dated' someone I met online so I'm going to promptly leave this thread now.
