I was in a chat room, as most online romances happen. I had been on the
Internet and chatting for almost three years. I was bored one
afternoon, so I decided to go into a chat room. I had been in this
particular room many times before, and met some very interesting people
in it. While I was in there, I noticed two guys talking. One was
married and had kids, and the other was asking questions like what is
was like to be a father, etc. I was most interested in him, he sounded
so sweet. So I decided to start chatting with him. We didn't get to
chat long, because of the 6-hour time difference, but it was a
wonderful chat. He was a few years older than me, but I figured age
didn't matter if we have a good chat.
We got to talking about
many things, mostly music though. Before he had to leave he gave me his
e-mail address and I gave him my AOL Instant Messenger screen name. A
few days later while I was online someone IM’d me, and it was him. He
told me who it was and we started chatting. Like most people, we had
many things in common. We had similar views on life, etc.
After
many more conversations, I realized I was really starting to like this
guy. I had promised myself before that it's just not right for people
over the Internet to be "in love," and that I'd never do such a thing.
It just didn't seem right to me. Since, I thought, you never knew whom
you are really talking to. Well, my opinions started to change, very
quickly too.
Weeks later our relationship really started to get
serious. I almost felt ashamed at first, because it was on the
Internet, but I don't worry about it now. All I have to say is that I
have never loved someone so much before. Whoever says you can't love
online, obviously hasn't.
