I have a massive crush on someone I've never met in real life. |
|
No, not on here. From another message board.
And she lives in Morocco.
I think it's a mutual thing, too.
Well, she's going to university in the states next year, at least.
Ha. I'm a silly girl.

2. That happened to me a lot in the early days of the internets |
|
of course, when you go to meet them in person down the road, they end up being married, or a lot different than what they described, etc, etc.

True – there is a bit of a difference there. I would say in those early days, when the internets were merely tubes connected together, I met maybe two women from online that I found attractive physically, and I ended up marrying the second one in 1998, which was followed by her filing for divorce less than a year later. And, yes, after we had met in person from online, we had a regular relationship for 18 months or so before we got married.
I learned my lesson, though. After we got divorced, I did not get too worked up over women from online and would try to meet them in person more quickly, before I got too into them from just chatting via IM and the phone. Strangely, from late 1999 through 2001, I met a ton of women that were extremely attractive physically, as in, “Why is this goddess dating me?” attractive.

that's how things go.
It's better than having a crush on someone that you see all the time who lives with her boyfriend.

8. People do develop real feelings for people they meet online. |
|
It's nice that in your case, it's reciprocated, but that also makes it a bit hard. :hug:
