        Just wondering did Audrey stay in Oz and get married? Tho may be she didn't mention that. She was a nice lady and her English was quite good.

              Best of luck to you both. I am a little skeptical of long distance romance, been there, done that, back in the days (early 1990s) when I was a single mum and my little one was asleep safe in his bed I was living my social life through the internet. Met a lot of people. fell in love a couple of times, but it wasn't real. I am not saying you guys aren't real, or that you two won't succeed. I am saying that we portray ourselves in whatever light we choose here. It is only one dimension of who we are and until you spend face time together you can't really know. Also, there is the dynamic that comes with physical attraction, again, I totally get that it isn't all about physical attraction but there are chemical responses that come into play when we are attracted to someone physically. When you meet someone online then you meet them in person you have already decided you like them. Am I making any sense? Then it's tough to back away if you don't still feel that attraction in person. One other word of caution, and I haven't experienced this, but have read that people who are in rehab (and I think most of us is in rehab in a way) shouldn't fall for each other because we have too much baggage.

              I hope you don't think I am a big mouth and I hope you will take what I say with a grain of salt. In my opinion when people are determined they don't usually listen to anyone who might caution them anyway LOL but I felt the need to add my two cents worth!

              In the end, I do wish you the best.

                June - I can see what you're saying. I know that the number one rule in AA (at least when I was there) was no relationships for the first year and that if you do date someone that's also sober/aa they should also have at least a year of sobriety as well. A lot changes when you stop drinking and people change as well.

                Having said that, I have found some pretty awesome friends online...but I'm not dating them so that's different!

                  K9 and FD

                  I met someone through another "stop drinking" website and my heart was totally broken.I have never felt that way before in my life. I truly believed he was my soul mate. I have to honestly say I fell so hard for this guy and then *poof* it was over. I have never in my life felt such pain in my heart, literally- I was crying in the shower wondering what I did wrong. It turned out he admitted he was a sex addict. I felt so dirty and horrible.
                  So, I'm sure online romances are not the best thing. Yes, meeting face to face is better than just words typed onto the keyboard. They're just what you want someone to believe but may not be the real McCoy.
                  So, I hope you two are honest with each other and one of you will buy a plane ticket and fly out to visit- because that's really what honesty is.
                  Best to you and all the other MWO romancers

                      What I am wondering FD and K9 is if your avatars are recent photos :H

                      Best of luck - long distance can be very trying whether you meet first on the internet or have a romance and then have to live apart. Errr - esp if you live at opposite ends of the planet.

                      Over on the daily abs thread we have some really hot relationships sparking - we discuss chickens, bunnies and tomatoes - to name just a few juicy tidbits:H

                        Good luck guys - enjoy and have fun! I had a wonderful long distance relationship that lasted for 12 years and 10 of those years were wonderful. Let the future determine the future and make the most of today which is the only guarantee we have.
                        2023 - focus, getting it done, and living the way it should be and being the person I need to be.

                          Hi Lindsey. Welcome.

                          You make a good point. I suppose our journey's are by nature, different.

                          Great to see you, and look forward to seeing you around here.
