Hello, I'm kind of new here, I've been on past boards on ivllage but not this one yet!
My name is Mindy, I am 21 years old, living in California going to school for zoology!
I'm not new to the whole online community, I've met a few friends online that turned into IRL friends, but nothing ever more than friends. However.. recently I have met someone online that I feel more of a connection with, and will be meeting him in March of 2007... I just wanted some input on all of it because it's new to me.. I don't know what to think about it or what my parents or friends would think about it if I fell in love with a guy and when they asked how we first met I'd say.. online.....
Sorry if this is a bit long.
I played world of warcraft... and met guy on there about half a year ago and we started talking a LOT over the past 3 months, because we were both helping eachother out on break ups we were going through with our ex's. Our relationships with our ex's was similar because we both had the problem of not being treated right at all, so it was very nice to have someone there to talk and vent to about it when he could also relate to it and vice versa.
We talk on the phone every day, the first month we talked on the phone there weren't really any "feelings" there for eachother, we mostly just talked about the problems we were having and how it was difficult to let go of someone you've been with for so long. Then after about a month we started talking to eachother about how we kind of liked each other... and from there it lead onto me having VERY strong feelings for him.
It's really weird.. I feel like he is the perfect guy for me, I can list off anything I look for in a guy and he has it, and what's even more weird is that he feels the exact same way. .. anyway... we both like each other very much. But is it real? I almost want to say I am falling for him... but how can you fall for someone you haven't even met? I just got out of a 5 year long relationship and so did he, so I am wondering if the strong feelings we have for each other are because of our past relationships?

Well luv, anything is possible call it Kismet, Serendipity, Karma or Fate...but don't discount the feeling that you are having - I would think that at this point it would not be a 'transferrance' of feelings from one situation(your old relationship) to anything conveniently available... Just take your time...baby steps as they say...go with your gut feeling...be honest about your feelings with him and yourself and dont sell yourself short - this is all very real.
Good luck!
Cheers
