We IM'd every day for a coule months, and we both were always willing to spend a good chunk of time doing that. Because the feeling was so strong we agreed to go slow, and did not meet in person for about 9 weeks. With the freedom to have a little anonimity online, it was easier to ask all the hard to answer stuff, so when we did finally meet in person, talking and sharing was no problem. Happy to say we have been together for 5 months now and are going strong. Still do the email/IM thing when we are apart, just for old times sake. lol. | |

| has anyone had an effect on you even though u never met them? Posted: 2/7/2006 10:28:51 PM | Wow... this is interesting. I came across a lady about 7 yrs ago on ICQ. For whatever reason, we clicked. I live in B.C., she lived in Toronto. She was in a relationship. We always chatted on ICQ, played games online, hassled people in chatrooms. I've asked her opinion on things she knew about and she asked for me on mine. We've chatted about everything under the sun. I've shared more with her than I have with members of my family or people I was involved with. We've chatted on the phone and exchanged funny emails ... but we've never met. She went thru a bad time in her relationship where she wanted to meet someone else and she asked that it be me ... I thought long and hard about it but came to the conclusion that I wanted to keep her as a friend so we never got together. I'm very glad I did as we continue to be friends to this day .... something I will treasure always. | |

I think with a place like this it is definitely bound to happen especially if you are a forum junkie. You make a connection with someone and the next thing you know you are looking forward to "seeing them" so to speak. Just like country said.
Made a few great connections online with people I have never met. Just because you do not meet does not mean that they dont matter.
This is also a great quote from another poster here I think it was princess. These people make a difference in our lives and us in theirs.
Who knows life is funny at times and you never know what can happen. | |

| has anyone had an effect on you even though u never met them? Posted: 2/8/2006 12:55:20 PM | Yes, and it's a bit nutty. I'm thankful for the post because I was REALLY beginning to think there was something a little skewed in that I really like getting new e-mails or having conversations that go back and forth (with strangers!). The flip side is that it doesn't feel very good when they (sometimes) stop!
What the heck? Are we SENSITIVE?? Or idiots?  | |

| has anyone had an effect on you even though u never met them? Posted: 2/8/2006 2:11:03 PM | | Yep, and it's a blast waiting to see what's coming next. She's a real sweetheart, and I love her sense of humor! I would like to meet face to face someday, but 'ya know what I'm curious about.... her voice. I've seen her picture(posted)so I know she's a doll, but I'm curious to put a voice with the face. Does that seem nutty? | |

| has anyone had an effect on you even though u never met them? Posted: 2/8/2006 2:35:27 PM | Yes, I have made many 'virtual' friends on this site...met all for different things we have in common, and they are very precious to me...I may not get to meet all of them, but I can appreciate that there is a 'real person' behind the profile that I really like. (I hope to get to meet some of them on my way out here...don't know that it will be possible, but I will sure try to make it happen!) Some have been my 'friend' since I first signed up. I, too, have shared things and learned things that in real life takes a lot longer.

| has anyone had an effect on you even though u never met them? Posted: 2/8/2006 3:00:12 PM | | There is something about internet exchanges like that --- the first time it happens to you and you enjoy the banter/communication/whatever it is that makes it special......well I don't think you forget that. The trouble is that you can't stay just on line and when that other person doesn't want to meet or is too far away and there is no chance to meet, well eventually the novelty of it wears off. It leaves an impression that keeps me from getting too involved with people that only want to talk on line and never want to move it along to something real. But yes, it's good while the bubble lasts. | |

| has anyone had an effect on you even though u never met them? Posted: 2/8/2006 3:27:08 PM | | I met a guy online in a chat room about 3 years ago. At the time his wife was dying of cancer, and I felt so sympathetic toward his situation. We spoke almost daily for about a month, and she died. After that point we began talking on the phone, and seeing one another on web cam for over a year. We became very close, and really shared a lot of similar circumstances in our lives. We would always say we wanted to meet in person and see what happens, but just never did. I started dating someone else, as did he, and we lost contact. Well several months ago he called, and said that he couldnt get me out of his mind. He said the fact that we were both left with children who were lacking in one parent, and were both still not married, that we should meet. I turned him down because I was with someone at the time that I really wanted to be with..... since then that guy and I broke up... go figure! I am sure the stoy with him is to be continued. | |

| has anyone had an effect on you even though u never met them? Posted: 2/8/2006 3:35:51 PM | wow, do I ever know how you feel... I'm talking to an amazing man right now that puts a smile on my face, a spring in my step, and butterflies in my stomach!!!!!!!!!!! I think about him rather frequently, yet we have never met! | |

| has anyone had an effect on you even though u never met them? Posted: 2/8/2006 4:42:27 PM | | Big Time!! There have been some I can call friends, and hopefully will for years! There's one especially....I won't be able to meet her but I sure wish I could. We have only talked since like november, but I care about her as much as I've cared about anyone. Never met her face to face....Am I nuts? Well....really she is just the most beautiful person. I realise it doesn't matter as long as we still connect like we do. (thankfully, she doesn't do the whole forum thing, so she likely won't read this. lol.) If she knew I actually fell for her like a month or so ago, she may not talk to me anymore. So I can't press the meeting thing. I'd hate to lose such a good friend. | |

| has anyone had an effect on you even though u never met them? Posted: 2/8/2006 4:57:22 PM | I met someone on the internet 3 months ago and we have talked every day since then. Sometimes two three times a day! I finally got enough guts to go meet him! I'm going fri feb 17th and can't wait! I hope we meet up to each others expectations! I just about die if I don't hear from him every day! But if he misses calling me a night, he calls me in the morning! I get that funny feeling in my tummy just thinking about him! Hey! Only 8 more days! Any advice would be welcome! | |

| has anyone had an effect on you even though u never met them? Posted: 2/8/2006 5:47:39 PM | mth!! I am so happy for you....The only advice i would give is don't have too many expectations... Here is this person that knows so much about you after all this time and vice versa... and yet, this is the worst part.. getting through the OMG he's a stranger yet not, phase... move slowly yet cautiously... I will keep my fingers crossed for ya... Have a good time...
Country.. more big hugs darlin... I think you are a great person.... | |

| has anyone had an effect on you even though u never met them? Posted: 2/8/2006 6:40:32 PM | Yeah, MLKing. Thanks to him I can't figure out where the heck I am in most Major Eastern Cities. What's Atl up to...14+ variations of King Street, blvd, rd, cir, cul, ave....yadda yadda yadda... Baltimore had about 9 & Chicago has 10ish. The guy was great, granted- major kudos, but this name thing is becoming redundant, to say the least. *sigh... | |
