BTW, re the internet thing: Sure, the chance is good you could meet some psycho. But the cahnce of meeting a psycho is also good meeting someone face-to-face. You could meet someone in the traditional way, at school, or a party, or whatever; and they could just as easily misrepresent themselves. Then later on after you've been involved for a while you find out they're married or escaped from some institution or wanted in 14 states.......

It was 13 states and I know not to go in to them anymore.

Hmmmmm, I wonder if there is a reward for this monster?
Loner: I've had an internet boyfriend, which worked surprisingly well. We 'shared our souls' before I flew out to him. The long distance killed it, but I have no problems with internet dating, as it gives a chance to get to know one before the physical stuff intrudes

Not to worry hon, the concussion will wear off soon
Long distance is tough, but I think it can work if the relationship is super-special, and if both people really want it to work. My own parents did the long-distance thing for a while since my dad was in the navy when they were courting.

You might be making a big assumption there, DW. Maybe he sould focus on ferrets? (j/k Weasel! )
That there; exactly the kinda diversion we coulda used.

Long distance is very possible. While my wife and I were dating, we often made separate trips out of the country - 6 or 7 months at a time. It can be very expensive to visit. It was funny, we noticed a trend. For the first week or two after one of us would return, there would be a period where we would be rather cool to each other, with some snapping or minor arguments. Then things would settle down to how it was before the separation. We soon recognized that we needed this 2-week warming-up period, and not to expect all the bells and whistles of a full-blown relationship right off the bat.
