kissmedeeply: no i dont either..we been through hard times and we always seem to make it...
indeed! the fact that both of you have not run away from the difficulties.. well - that's something. in these days when every little bit of problem in a relationship one bolts and leaves the other in shambles.. what you have there is solid.

g33kgurl: Can someone, anyone enlighten this lummox here please? How can I tell that we are now actually "dating"? or still just flirting. What are the rules? Or the usual things that happen? What to look out for to ensure that he is really interested in me and not just a loafer with nothing else to do or someone needing to boost his ego? Too many questions i know but hey, this is a relationship and dating lummox writing here so please forgive.

Ocee35: You're not dating until you've met face to face.
Dating is as much about commitment as it is physicaly going out, so you can be committed to each other on-line without a face to face meet. Though of course it has to happen at some point, the sooner the better...

Dating is what the you and your other think it is ....If you BOTH see anything at all as "Dating" then who am I or anyone to disagree with that .......Good luck
Developing a relationship with someone has it's own difficulties but coupling that with distance and borders takes a whole lot more. After hearing a few stories about failed attempts to overcome these things, I'm not so sure I would even entertain the thought and I find it extremely frustrating at times because there sure are quite a few sweethearts from abroad I think a lot of people feel the same way But with true love and a lot of sacrifice, anything is possible
g33kgurl: i thought that was so as well. thanx almbera.
so, how does one show commitment online?
No different to how you would in RL. You make time to be with each other though its on-line, keep communication going, share with each other as much as you can. Listen and be there for each other.
Ocee35: Before that you're pre-dating. It's just like a local relationship, except the time line is longer.
A man calls you up on Tuesday, and asks you out for Friday,
in between Tuesday and Friday you're pre-dating.Online we email you in November for a date in 2017.
Interesting, your way implies no commitment until a face to face meeting, which could mean it allows you to have several on-line "pre-dating" relationships going at once, until you eliminate one through a face to face meet or commit to one through a face to face meet, that is, if none of the others find out

It depends on the people involved.
Some would entertain other offers on Wednesday and Thursday,
others would prefer to wait and see how things go on Friday.

yes.. pre-dating is the gray area even when there is face to face. makes me wonder how many are in the throes of pre-dating at this phase in their online dating stage.
