I have met the man that I am now living with from on-line. I met him in a simple chat room, not a romance room. I would chat when i got done from work. I was not looking for romance by no means - it just happened - we talked on the computer for a month and then had to go to phone conversation. We talked for three months on the phone, every day for at least two hours. I am in Wisconsin he was in Nevada. Yes, the phone bills were outragous!! My point being - from first hand experience, i think that it was amazing. I got to know someone for who he was not what he looked like. I found it much easier to be able to tell things to someone who is further away and i can not see. I guess it is too hard to explain, you have to experience it first hand. We have been together now for 8 months and it is great!
