Thanks Nikka and TG.

We all dream of that magical love-at-first-sight fantasy date/meeting but we must also calculate risks and make choices. Approching a new relationship with an open mind does not mean making a blind commitment
Yes I know. And that is one thing that is tripping with my mind really badly. I'm not one of these people to get lost in fantasy when it comes to day to day dealings with people. The only imperfections thus far are his damnably busy schedule and his geographic location. Only. Heh.

Online relationships do work. They just require your diligence and patience. Well, pretty much all relationships do.
I appreciate you saying this. It makes me feel like less of a weirdo.

Don't worry about things too much. Realize that people have lives and, as much as you might be an important part of it, other things also affect their lives. If your partner is very busy, he will only be too happy to get back to you as soon as he can.
Yes that is very true. And I try to keep myself occupied and positive. Sometimes it's just so hard to reconcile the intensity and flow of the connection with the interuptions of life. Let alone that it is over the internet.

I don't know if I am more scared by the intangibility of the internet or the fact that I don't want this to be a fly by night affair, that I am very serious about this.
