I know myself I have on a few occasions travelled great distances to meet people that I had been enamored with from the internet...after months of chatting online...on the phone...to finally meet in person, somewhere far from my home...WOW...quite often the experiences were very exciting, albeit short lived..

I want to hear if you guys have had similar experiences...then I'll share MY dirt..

So?

I do all the time,every three months...It started when I went to turkey to get away from my life for a while and met some peopleI was talking with on the internet for a while...Then my ex boyfriend in frankfurt germany,then in munich....I kept and keep going to munich and every time i go to munich I meet at least two new people I added to messanger since the last trip.....I love meeting the people I chat with on a daily basis and they are really not at all differnt then they are on line...Its really alot of fun,but there has been times i got bad vibes right before meeting someone....Then I cancelled and stuck with the people i already know....

But Candy, you said you loved me on that night! lol

I drove 2 hours to see this girl I was in love with, but when I got up there, she was in bed with another guy! I was like "i thought we were dating!?" And she was like "I was going to break up with you tonight."

And yes, I did cry on my way home.

yes 30 mins drive from me i met this gorgeous girl on line,i used to think all good looking women pics on the net were fake,i understand now that maybe the person is shy or like me just came on here to have a laugh or make friends, i've never looked back and i'm totally in love.

Excellent stories so far..

I have met a couple of people that way that worked into a "relationship" of sorts..

One time...Christmas eve night several years ago..I met this guy on Netmeeting (videoconferencing)..we hit it off right away...talked every day online and by phone for 6-7 months...I lived in Oshawa and he lived in Montreal...

Finally he surprised me by telling me that he was coming to my house for the weekend....MAN...those three hours or so after he called to tell me he was leaving were the longest of my life...

It was CRAZY! When he showed up at the door it was like we had already been dating forever but just hadn't seen each other in a long time...

We saw each other many times after that...but grew apart romantically...he married someone else...but I have visited him since (last time last year)...we are still great friends...with fantasic chemistry! We are very compatible as friends...the distance is too far for a romance, though...

In my opinion it is really hard to have a long distance relationship...But if you make a game plan when you are ready it really helps...Like who is going to move and when this will be...Then it is like you know it wont last forever that way...;-))

I travelled several hours by car to meet a lady.
She was radiant , I spotted her the instant she appeared in view. You can already tell that we had a good time. I would do it again in a minute.

Quite honestly, I have probably travelled to meet someone that way at least 3 or 4 times...the worst it got was mediocre...but the best was FANTASTIC! I even was sent airline tickets to go to Miami one year and meet a doctor that I had met/chatted with for almost a year....It was an unforgettable experience that I wouldnt' change for the world..he came here a few months after that..We had a great time then as well..but nothing seems to last forever anymore, does it?
