quote:Originally posted by nusuth: i agree 100% Michael, most relationships that start online will never amount to anything, but to dismiss them just because they are online is what i am referring to. as you said, lightning does strike people so you cant dismiss it just because it hasnt happened to you.
as for your summation of your idea of a relationship, i agree. all those items are certainly part of what i want in relationship, but there is also an emotional aspect that has nothing to do with physical distance. personally, i believe those qualities you mention are the easy part.
i am not trying to argue that this a route everyone should take to look for a partner, but i would like any prejudice towards such a relationship dropped. maybe its not for you or a million other people, but it does work. i personally could never go to a club/bar and pick some chick up to bang. i, personally, never got that.

I see
the bar/club isn't my thing either

tell me about it. andy should know better than to think i would trash him. there's very people on this board that i think deserve negative attention and he is not one of them. it was nudge and a wink which is why i put the laugh emo.

Yeah - I don't mind people taking the piss out of me for a laugh; I just don't like it when they do it to my girlfriend...=/

She wasn't lol. I just was on behalf of her - nvm...if I actually like...READ your post then yes - it was a joke hahaha
And Spotlight is saying if your wife is your avatar, then you must be doing something right in starting an e-relationship and he's going to follow suit ...I think

i wasnt offended in the least honey
btw thanks for so eloquetly describing long-distance/online relationships. i might use some of yout lines myself if you dont mind, when trying to explain it to others.
so when a person approaches you, you tell them you are taken? even if they seems like they would be cool and look good? you won't dance with other people?
when your friends want to go out where other single people will be, you don't go? you're home alone on saturday and friday nights?
no flirting with other people? anything? how do you resist?

yes, yes, yes, yes.. or something like that.
when my wife and i were still in different countries, we definitely considered ourselves as 'taken'. we definitely were in a committed relationship.
why wouldnt we go out and be around other single people?? it's not like i cant be around an attractive single woman and not control myself. which answers your last question. its called self control. its the same thing that keeps me taking things too far with women now. as for the fliring, omg, i am in a relationship, not dead! of course i flirt.. i did then, i do now and as long as someone woman finds me attractive, i will continue to flirt.. as does my wife. it's completely harmless and means nothing. it's not like i dont find other women attractive and i dont expect my wife to never find another guy attractive ever again.. so why would i care if she batted her eyelashes at the hot detective that frequents her restaurant?

chatting on msn for example, people can take a little more time to think about what they want to say before hitting "enter", sounds ideal if you have a stuttering problem or get lost for words
or if you creep people out in person or have no friends. despite the epic inconsistencies in this story, i get it
