This may seem totally nuts, but it's true.

Egad that is TOO exciting for words :-)

I know it's easier said than done . . . . but just go with it and have fun :-) Maybe even do a little bridget jones reverse anticipation and wear big granny underwear or neglect to shave your legs ;-) then you're guaranteed things will heat up :-)

But I don't think you should be fixated on maintaining the friendship aspect of things. Don't people always advocate not falling in love or planning a future with someone you've never met IRL ?? Well I'd say it's the same thing in not formally defining what your relationship will be until you've met IRL.

If things turn romantic then I'd say this is an absolute perfect example of the age-old theory of friends first. Aren't the best relationships those that develop from two people that are great friends?

It sounds like you two would already know each other's past/baggage issues. Neither has turned and run because of it . . . so those awkward discussions are not going to rear their ugly heads. . . you've seen each other through good and bad times and been there for each other . . .

. . . I'm getting giddy just thinking how perfect this could be :-)

If i'm this excited reading about someone else in this situation - - I couldn't imagine how you must be ricocheting off the walls right now :-)

Well, it sounds like you had a great NYE, good for you!

As for dating others--that's a toughie. I decided I couldn't handle sleeping with my LD guy and dating other people, so we became exclusive after our 2nd weekend together. I don't remember now if I went out with anyone during the month in between--I doubt it, though, because I was so over the moon about him at the time.

Later, when it became evident he wasn't going to follow through on the plan we'd discussed for him to move up here anytime soon, I told him I was going to date other people again, and I did, but it was tough, because my heart wasn't in it.

Either way, you should talk to him about it the next time you see him so you know you're on the same page (open communication is particularly crucial in LDRs, but that's a conversation you need to have in person, IMO).
