God help me, I think I'm going to do this again...

[Guest]

Okay, let me start off by apologizing to some people about making "lite" of their online relationships. I had a very bad experience years ago (and I've seen a guy go from being a good friend to being an asshole because he got too wrapped up in the long distance online thingy)... So, needless to say, that's why I make lite of long distance online love.

So, here's my story now... I've met this guy who lives in Akron, Ohio (and I live in Omaha, Nebraska). He is 29, divorced, and has one child (though he hasn't seen her in many years). We have talked on AOL and the phone several times now. During a more spirited conversation on the phone we had talked about him coming to Omaha to visit (more or less jokingly). Well, now the talk of meeting has become more serious. Also, he asked me if I've ever been in a long distance relationship.

Right now I have thousands of butterflies flittering in my stomach. I enjoy talking to him, and I'd love to meet him, but I don't want to jump into a serious relationship. Later down the road I could see myself getting involved with him (I think), but I'm still a bit scared to get involved in a long distance net relationship. Sigh...

Let me get this straight: You're nervous about a long distance net relationship, which may very well be the easiest relationship to back out of if things don't go right. If you're that skittish about this thing then maybe you should wait until you feel more comfortable about yourself in ANY relationship.

Tiggily-Wiggily,
I think your butterflies are basically you enjoying the excitement of a new relationship. Be careful, but live life. You don't want to spend your life saying "what if" but you have to be conscious of the situation and keep an open mind. Otherwise, I am very happy that you seem so happy. Its great to hear the excitement and desire in your "voice." I hope everything is perfect and this is the begining of a long and wonderful relationship.

Yes Tiggs feeling nervous in any relationship is scary. But worth it in the long run. You never know until you try and who knows what the future holds, but that is with any of us in relationships. I think it is always worth the risk. You sound like you are willing to try so do it. Try it may work out better than you anticipated. Just take it slowly one step at a time. Relax and enjoy this could be a very special relationship for you so I would say take the chance just be careful.

Tiggs,

You might be amazed at how intriguing it is to meet someone on the "inside" first and then follow with meeting them in RL in person. It is a rather beautiful experience (or can be)....

I hope you come to the wedding b/c I would love to give you a great big Jade hug! (the greenest hug you could possibly receive!)

All I ask is.. when you meet this guy.. be safe.

Hmmm...now I'm wondering if it could possibly be my brother!

Just teasin' hon.

Nerves are natural Tiggs...even though I knew in my heart that I would mesh well with Xander, I was still extremely nervous about meeting him. I'll admit, when Xander said he was coming, I went into shock. I couldn't believe that anyone would be willing to travel so far just to meet lil ol' me. Damn right I was nervous!

Only thing I can say here is to make sure you know enough about this person to feel comfortable with him. If you do, then follow your heart honey...you just never know where it might lead you. I'm forever thankful that I did!

Good luck to you...and if you ever get out to the Akron area hon, be sure to let me know. I'm about 2 minutes from Akron.

Are you from Akron, Angelique? Does your brother's name start w/ P? He did mention that he had a sister!

At any rate, Budokan, I am very comfortable with myself. I am nervous because of a past experience that was bad and hurt, and also because I'm excited. He called last night from his buddy's house just to talk and say "good night" before falling asleep. And he asked me if it's alrught if he calls when he gets back into town on Sun. He also mentioned that meeting may not have to be too far in the future!

Well, more later. Anyone who cares, or is interested, I'll keep them posted. BTW, Jade, no I won't be able to go to the wedding. I won't be able to get time off. I hope everyone has a blast!!! Oh, and EVERYONE is invited to cum (giggle) to Omaha next summer to visit Ezzie and I when Jeff comes to town!
