7 and a half months

That's how long my relationship has currently gone for. My second longest to date, though that will be beaten in 3 months =]

Starting this relationship was doubtful for me to begin with. For starters, me and this other girl had promised to get together after school ended, because that's the way her mum wanted it. However, this was a girl I hadn't even had a proper conversation with in week, and barely even acknowledged my existence for the most part. But when I developed a crush on my current girlfriend, I figured the right thing to do would be to tell this girl, right? Wrong. She flipped out, she told me to stop talking to the girl I had a crush on, she told me that we couldn't work if I had a crush, just a crush on another girl. Well anyways after arguing for about an hour and having the idea that this girl basically wanted nothing to do with me, I decided to ignore her and tell this girl I was crushing on her.
I believe my words were "sometimes it feels like that you're more than just a friend to me Coolio"
Which was true for the most part. We spent hours talking on msn and I'd stay up late just to talk to her, and we had grown really close over the last few months, more than just the friends we started out as in 2007. And it turns out that this girl thought the same about me, and so we decided then and there to date. The 22nd of April 2008.

By the way, did I mention this girl doesn't even live in the same state, nay, the same country as me? And my now ex wasa annoyed cause I was crushing on a girl over 9000 miles away. Talk about a perspective problem. Some of you may know her, her name is Mary although she's rarely ever called that. Mareh or Mawwy is how she's known to most people. She has more posts than me. Sad

In any case, now you know why I had some doubts with this relationship. It started out as completely over the internet. I didn't even know what she sounded like. We'd spend hours at a time talking on webcam with each other. And of course many people believe that an internet relationship isn't real, that they can't work. That's the way my family saw it as well once I had told them. My grandmother insisted on calling her my pen-pal for months, my mother was the first one to treat her like a proper girlfriend whenever I was talking about her, or buying something for her.

Eventually I called her one Sunday (evening for me, morning for her). I can't remember how far into the relationship this was...maybe a month? I'm told it was two months xD. Anyways, all I remember of our first phone call was the complete nervousness I had prior to ringing her, but after about a minute into the conversation everything was completely natural. Now we talk on the phone every Sunda, and whenever I have international minutes on my phone and we feel the need to get lovey-dovey over the phone.

Because that's the truth - her and I are completely and utterly in love. It only took 2 or 3 months before we both realised that this was completely different compared to other relationships we had been in. We're completely natural with one another, we can talk to each other about anything and everything without the fear that we're going to sound stupid or anything. And even if we do, it doesn't matter because when we make fun of each other, which we do all the time, we both know it's not serious and anything that was scathing or sounded harsh wasn't true in the slightest.

Obviously the next step in our relationship is actually meeting up. This is something we've decided to do around about July of next year. I'm travelling there because by then I'll be 18 and allowed to go overseas by myself as an adult, and she'll be 17. It is for this sole reason that I've been trying as hard as possible to get a job, and finally after a whole year of trying I managed to land a job as a cashier at a supermarket. I'm only on call, and the pay isn't awesome (hey, neither is the job lol), but the fact remains that I am earning money towards the $2,000 plane ticket.

So yeah, so far we've been dating for 7 and a half months, and we plan to go for lot longer. Very Happy Obviously this relationship wouldn't work without trust, a whole crapload of trust. Becuse when you never see the other person, they could be doing anything. This was a problem for me to begin with because I've had trust issues with past girlfriends who've dumped me to go out with friends, and who were spending all their time t and about with other guys without even bothered to even ask me along. But I'm past all that now, I trust Mareh with my hear, my soul and everything, just like she does with me. And this proves to those of you out there who doubt internet relationships: they work if the people involved honestly try to make it work, and they're both good, honest, trusting people.

You're the girl who I'm going to spend the rest of my life with. I love you Mawwy, and I'm going to love you forever Kiss:
