I totally had not read your post before I posted what I had just written about my long distance relationship (see above.)

Maybe it’s a sign telling you that going against the odds and taking chances in love sometimes really does pay off. And big!

Good luck!

I think it’s great that you are trying something new and expanding your universe.

As a new experience, how cool that she lives in a different area and you can catch glimpses of things that you wouldn’t otherwise.

I’m a bit pessamistic about internet dates being true loves. When I finally gave up on that in my own life, I started to enjoy dating more. I found people who liked different things, and expanded my world.

Take for instance – the geek (and I’m sooo sorry to say it, but he was) was wonderful online, cute, terribly funny and had exceptional taste. In person, he had too many bad habits to go into here. He was nice and sweet, but there was absolutely no in-person chemistry

As it turns out I saw him a few times because he loved Asian movies and there was an amazing Hong Kong movie festival at a local museum. I don’t know anyone of my other friends that would have gone and enjoyed it with me.

So, I’m just saying, enjoy new-girl and go into it knowing that your world will be fresher and newer. If you take that approach, it’ll be harder to be disappointed if sparks of the heart don’t fly.
