I 'met' this wonderful man on line about 4 weeks ago...we chatted on-line, progressed to talking on the phone, and have found each other to be very compatible, we are crazy about each other - we are taking it S-L-O-W...one reason is that we are 700 miles away from each other - no biggie for either of us at this point. We're both enjoying the 'courting' that this relationship has taken - I have had experience with OLD...but this is something rather new - I am REALLY being courted.
I have never been courted - even in the REAL dating world...and it is really wonderful- in fact today I had returned from shopping and received flowers!!! Tonight is the Leonid meteor shower (it goes on for several days, and in certain parts of the county you can see some amazing shooting stars!) Well, I was overwhelmed on how sweet it was to get flowers...here is what the enclosed card said "Stargazer Lillies for the brightest star there is. When you see a shooting star remember I might be looking at the same star the same instant and we would be connected in time...Thinking of you John"
He is coming out here for New Years and my Birthday...I am sharing this with you all because I am so happy, so overwhelmed and filled with joy, and I would love any thoughts you all may have and want to share
Cheers!

So...L for Leonid? That was very sweet of him.
I'm glad you're enjoying this, and I really hope you hit it off in person, but PLEASE, please remember that online and phone chemistry DOES NOT always translate to real life. So try to keep your expectations low until you've met in person at least and spent some time together.
And on a practical note, what safety precautions are you taking for when he comes to visit? Is he staying in a hotel and are you meeting in public at least at first? It sounds very romantic and wonderful, but please, do be safe as well!!!

I know what it feels like to connect over the phone with a guy from OLD whom I have not met... I think it's possible for this to be a happy story. So, I won't say anything negative :) What happens will happen. Make sure to update us on the first meet. I am curious if he will be everything you hope and expect him to be.
Good luck...
ps--What does the "L word" refer to?
Well...L(eonid), or Love or Lust....
I am very aware of the safety issues...so he is stayig at a hotel and or a friends house - as mentioned we are taking it S...L...O...W..
I am quite excited about it all, as is he!
Thanks for your input...
Cheers
Sarah
Thanks for your good wishes...Yes I am excited about him...its been a LONG time since I have felt this way about anyone...
The L word is love...
I will keep you all up to date about John....and coming in for New Years and my birthday is for one trip, my b'day is right after New Years. I have seen tons of pictures of him and I think he is adorable...
By the way, he told me that one of the reasons he sent the incredible flowers, is because he had something made for me, and he felt horrible that I had not received it yet...Can someone please pinch me!!!!
Cheers
Sarah
You're obviously quite infatuated :) I sure hope he rocks your world in person when you finally meet him. I know it feels good to have that crush feeling. I hope he's all you think he is and more!
One gal friend of mine met a guy online three years ago...they talked on the phone all the time for 4 months and only saw pics of each other...they just knew they had something special. They finally met in person after 4 months and YES, it was REAL...they continued a long distance romance for about a year and then she moved to Atlanta to be with him. They have been living together this last whole year and plan to get married. They are so good together...when you're around them you can clearly see how right they are for each other...they are best friends and cute together, very much in love, soulmates.
We've all been told the pitfalls, the horror stories of online dating. So, I just want to encourage you to have a great time...I really hope this is something special! It can happen!
Good, I'm glad to hear you are being practical and safety conscious even though you are understandably excited about meeting him!
I hope it goes well--keep us posted.

okay...UPDATE....
I got the incredible Stargazer lillies on Saturday because John felt bad that a gift that he had ordered for me about 2 weeks ago still had not gotten here - I mean I was overwhelmed and thrilled with that - there was no need for anything else - truly!
Well...today I got a delivery from UPS...personalized PINK M&M's in beautiful little lacey organza bags - each M&M says "Perfect LOVE" - OHMYGAWD - can someone please pinch me and tell me that this is real...I am trying to keep my wits about me and not to get too overwhelmed by the gift - but as John said - he did not know a better way to tell me...He is so sweet and I am so lucky and blessed to have John in my life!
I just had to share!
Cheers
