Internet relationships are tough. Especially when it becomes more than serious, it becomes hard to truely show your love. The distance sucks, the fact that your only method of communication is over a keyboard, or perhaps by phone if you can foot the long distance bills. You can`t see, or touch. That`s how Mike and I began, it`s no real fairytale but today it`s like a dream-come-true to us. We met almost five years ago, back when we had never even -heard- of Ragnarok, on a chat program called Virtual Places.
When we met, we were both in separate relationships and didn`t really have much to do with eachother. But he was funny, and typoed a lot..so I loved to pick on him! Hehe..I corrected him every chance I got. And he began doing the exact same thing to me, we had some hilarious times. Sadly then, Virtual Places went bankrupt and we lost contact for a looooong time. When we finally reunited in another chat program we were both still taken, but unhappy. Unhappy enough that we fought with each other and fell out of sorts for lashing out at eachother for completely unrelated problems. But I didn`t want to give up on him.. I saw something special in him that made me not want to lose his friendship. Something that made me want to look deeper. I came to him and apologised, and we called a truce. A spark began on that day. A spark that quickly grew to a flame..
It took us a while to admit it to eachother, and even then there was nothing we could do about it - we were both still taken. He eventually left his relationship and to this day it astounds me.. he waited for me. He waited for almost a year and a half for me to finally break away and come into his arms. I`m profoundly grateful for his patience..
After a long while of online only, we finally arranged to meet in real life. I went to visit him. I`ll never be as nervous in my life as I was on that day..so many worries. What if it was all different in real life? What if nothing was as we expected? What if the love we had fell to peices? It gnawed at me the whole way, it bothered me until I stepped off the bus near his house and saw him waiting.. then ran over and just hugged him as tight as I could.

Everything was like a dream, I couldn`t stop smiling. Now we visit back and forth whenever possible - and he`s moving in with me this summer!
We began RO together around ten months ago together, and both of us absolutely love it. We`re a tight team, we`re never found one without the other. Whatever we do there, we do it together. We enjoy the game thoroughly together, and have met many wonderful people there. I was delighted when the marriage system came out, an adorable way to proclaim our love for eachother! We both have five characters on our account, and intend to eventually marry them all to eachother once we can make up the zeny to do so. Next up we`ll be marrying my Assassin and his Rogue together ^_^

We`re a couple online, and a couple in real life - proving despite all the sarcasm that internet relationships CAN work! And they can be every bit as strong a bond as if you met in real life in the first place.

Well that`s our story, told as best I can. Nothing glamorous, and I hope I wasn`t too long-winded, the entire thing would`ve made a novel, as it`s above five years` worth of story, hehe. I think a Valentines wedding would be marvelous! He doesn`t know i`m doing this, so if I win it`d be a nifty surprise for him, hehe. ;D

Take care GM`s!
And an early Happy Valentines!
