Kevin/fastlane, I do truly wish you the best.....some people can make 1000's of miles work, other's can't deal with the reality of it. I wonder if you are "in love" with the idea of love, or "in love" with a mental image at the other side of a computer monitor and telephone line, or are you really in love with a living, breathing, warm human female being? I think it could most definitely be the latter, but you won't find out if it's the former until you meet in real life. Something that stays online/phone will keep your endorphins (or endomorphins) running and you flying high, but true love and contentment won't happen until the relationship moves forward. The problem with mental images (which are one step away from fantasies) is that they are what WE want them to be, not what they really are or possibly are not. You might be happy finding "love" online because you can feel safe that way, you are still in control. If it moves to real life, you have to deal with the reality of it all, and you might lose control, and the outcome might not be a good one. Or it might be a fabulous one. But, you lose the control. Is she worth the risk? She might be. But you won' t know for sure until you move forward. But moving forward might bring your "love high" crashing down, right? I don't know what your phone conversations are like, but if they're all about phone sex and dreams and fantasies, then it might be time to bring them to reality. If they're full of reality, meaning, talking about the bad days you might have had, problems, illnesses, or even debating subjects that you both might not agree on, and you still believe you're in love, then that has potential. But if you avoid reality and steer the conversations back to tra-la-la and dreams and fantasy, then that's not a good sign for potential. Sorry, I've rambled on with thoughts as they popped into my mind. Here's a dollar, take it and have a cup of coffee on me. Good luck!
