I must be nuts? LiveLaughLoveLearn: Hey all. I think I must be nuts! Please hear me out. My divorce is final next month. I played around on the personal ads for a while, went on a few dates, did not hook up with anybody, except a friend and it meant nothing to either of us. We laughed about it the next day and went on being the friends we were. Anyway. New Year rolls around and I was done feeling sorry for myself. I was tired of the on-line dating thing and I figured to hell with this. If I am supposed to meet somebody, then I will. Don't you know that very day, bang, there is an email in my inbox from a guy from the on-line personals. My subscriptions were expired, but his profile was exactly what I was looking for. My skeptic self said, oh look they are enticing me to rejoin to check out this fictional man. So through other devices, I was able to get in touch with this guy. He is for real. So here is the problem. Immediately after emailing one another and chatting with each other, we hit it off splendidly. We exchanged pictures and have a genuine interest in one another, not to mention we seem to be mirror images of each other, except I am the chick and much cuter :D. He is stationed abroad in the military and will be unenlisted in a few months or so. His divorce wll be granted a few months after my divorce. Nonetheless we communicate with one another daily and have made plans to go out when he finally comes home. It's odd to me that you could have so much in common with a person whom you've never physically met. So, here I am now, thinking what am I nuts. I met this nice guy, verified his story, etc. I really like the exchanges we have and am looking forward to meeting him. It's as though we known each other all of our lives. I think I must be nuts for (a) conducting an on-line relationship with this guy; (b) actually being interested in him and (c) thinking he is amazing, all of this within three weeks. Like I wrote, we email everyday, chat all the time, constantly discover what we have in common and actually affirm to each other that we enjoy these exchanges! Do you think I am nuts for wanting to get this guy? I've been apart from my x2b for over a year now and I am ready to move on. I think it may be a little early in game for the new guy, but would like to have an outside opinion. I remain dazed and confused and would love to hear what you all have to say.
Re: I must be nuts? gulfcoast: Yep Yep Yep
All of that sounds like my story...3 weeks into it...
I don't even want to go into what it turned out to be 6 months down the road...
good luck....
Re: I must be nuts? PennyLane: I don't think your nuts at all. It is very possible to meet someone who lives far away and have soo much in common with them and even be attracted to them without meeting them face to face. I did it 7 months ago and he's one of the neatest people I've known. We see each other every 7 weeks or so, talk several times a day and never run out of things to talk about.

Re: I must be nuts? 2be: Sounds like my first relationship after my Divorce. It was great and we had a lot in common, but it just didn't last. We didn't quite "click" in person as well as we did online, etc. Not that I am trying to bring you down or anything... just don't jump into any big decisions that you'll regret later on if it doesn't work out.
It sounds like it has some promise. Just keep your wits around you, don't get too caught up in the "infatuation" of meeting someone new. The fact he is in the military and might be leaving again is a problem. It will make you want to rush things along.
Give it time... if it is supposed to work it will.
