How far away are you two?
Intimacy would be a huge barrier for me in a situation like that. Huge props to you for being able to manage a LD relationship for that long Seaking. Good luck on your harvest so you two can meet.

No, we both don't have enough money.
Working on growing my money tree. It's coming along nicely. Should be ready to harvest in the fall

How long is the distance?

You're not a loser, I'm just curious. How do you really know what someone's REALLY like until you meet them in person?

I'm too old for this!

Whew, 3 years of online interaction only? That's rough.

Best of luck when you guys finally meet!
Thanks. It's nerve wracking to think about. Very scary. He's my best friend. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be a mess when the time comes haha. I'm so awkward sometimes. My anxiety makes things hard.

He's in Cali and I'm currently in Pennsylvania. It hasn't been without some bumps. No relationship is easy, but there's something to be said about the lack of physical interaction.

Lol its definitely something that has crossed my mind. If things don't work out, I'll just be happy for the time we had and the memories. It will suck, yes, but I haven't had any improved luck with relationships that have occurred in person. Was in an abusive relationship for 6 years.

Not to mention all the hind brain calculations that get done based on smell / immune system and all that intagible shit.

Americans season 3 time

And if I may be so bold as to throw in my .02 re:long distance relationships.

I've done it a couple of times and my experience is such that when things are long distance you get to know the person very well very quickly since all there is is talking. Emotional bonds form quickly in these kinds of situations. But, when real life happens often the person you are with doesn't live up to the idealized version they present themselves as online or on the phone.

I'm not wishing this on you Seaking but just a word of warning. Try to be pragmatic and keep your expectations in check.

I believe it's easy to throw expectations and idealizations on anyone in any relationship. It's hard not to, but I try to be realistic when it comes to him. We both have health issues and are cancer survivors, so remembering my own set backs and reality helps keep things in check on his behalf.
And yes, there's a lot of talking and getting to know everything about the person, so you can connect pretty easily.

Hahaha oh shit. I was waiting for that. The book messed me up /:
Yes were both in remission and have been for a while, but life after isn't without problems or potentially worse issues. Chemo puts a lot of potential for other issues like obesity, heart disease, other cancers, depression, neurological issues, etc etc. Life can be hard sometimes, but I have this major feeling that I've never felt with anyone before. He's worth being with

OMFG the fakegif triangle intensifies

(the fakegaf triangle is the area between central ohio and pittsburgh where a number of us live, and I call it a triangle for no known reason)
I'm creeped out ok

FOR ALL I KNOW YOU GUYS COME INTO MY GAMESTOP

I really couldn't say. I don't know anybody in those kind of fields here. Sorry!

I'm sorry to hear about that. It's not fair you had to go through it but I'm glad you've survived and continue to do so ♥

also, side note, is the L in your username supposed to be a lowercase i? I'll probably just call you Rebecca but everybody else keeps getting it "wrong" and I'm curious if that's because I'm missing something lol

Lol what
I'm not from here, so I'm guessing high school soccer?

Yeah high school. Mostly new Brighton had this one kid that would tackle our players but it was especially annoying since he was actually really skilled

You said close to east Palestine? I'm on the other side of new castle from you :)

It's probably not the only factor, but I'd happily pitch in to help you two meet. Flights in Aug/Sep/Oct are dirt cheap.

Perfect. And smart to make the Pittsburgh point a bit south since I'm pretty sure marrec is like in mount Lebanon or somewhere. Its going to need to be a bit east to fit in Pau in a few weeks though

okay I have a super serious question. Are you ready? Here it comes:

how many wall clocks is too many wall clocks?

Yo one of the clocks should be wrong and have that be some clue for something if anyone notices it

Or just a dead lead to make people wonder why it's wrong

I'll fix it for Pau

Put one outlier dot in Boston too!

Whatttttt o:

Edit: I need to grab some food. I'll brb

Sure. Tickets are under $300. If that's been keeping you from meeting for three years it would suck if it continued too.
