Hi all! I just recently discovered this board and would like to jump in!
My name is Maria, I'm from Canada, am 22 and am graduating university in the summer. After that I am going to Europe for 6 months, where I will also (maybe...lol) meet a guy I have been chatting with for 7 or 8 months (actually we talk with webcam and voice so it feels more "real", kwim?) He's been really nice to me, has sent me flowers, perfume, other gifts, postcards, etc.. My decision to travel is based on my career - just in case you thought I was going there just for him, that's not the reason. But, if we meet and if we get along as much as we do online, then that will be a definite plus!
I started talking to him one night in the spring when I was really bored at home, I went on a European chat site and we have been talking since then. I guess what I'm most scared of is that he's secretly really weird, lol.. like is part of a strange cult or something, lol... I just think that you can't really know someone until you meet them in person, so I hope that I'll have the opportunity to. I already feel attached to him; when we talk, it's almost always for 2 or 3 hours, sometimes more.
So that's my story! I hope to get to know you all!

Welcome to the board, Maria!
Hi Devorah,
You're right, I am having fun, but I'm also being careful.
I haven't been chatting with anyone else because quite honestly, I was never really into the whole online thing (sometimes as a teenager though) and I started talking to this guy very randomly, so it's not like I'm going to go looking for other guys to chat with, kwim? I haven't dated anyone for a long time, but that's not because I'm waiting for the summer - it's just because I don't want to right now, I have been planning to move away for a long time and haven't wanted to get involved with anyone for that reason. I mean, you never know, but honestly I think I'd prefer to begin a new adventure like this while single.
By no means am I saying that this guy is the one, that we're going to work out for sure, etc.. I'm just enjoying talking to him while being realistic. It could be great between us or it could not work out at all.. there's a 50 - 50 chance in my opinion! I just have to meet him first, that's the only solution.
So we'll see :-)
Maria
No, I didn't take that pic, but I would have liked to!! :)
