I met my boyfriend here on TFP

There was a thread on here that somebody started about how hard he had it getting that second date. I mentioned that I had it hard getting a first date! I had never really had a first date, my college boyfriend and I met at a party and were a couple pretty much right away. Skipped that whole dating phase.

So, here's the thread: http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthr...highlight=date

It was pure chance. I hadn't talked much with losthellhound on the boards here, but I'd noticed his posts and he seemed like a good guy. So when I mentioned I'd be in Niagara Falls and he said he goes there every so often, I thought why not? So we exchanged emails, chatted online at night and got to know eachother. And made plans to have dinner when I was in Niagara Falls. Dinner turned into an all day long event, and into the next day. We got along so well, but honestly I didn't want to get into a long distance relationship. They suck, and they're hard to take. But well... he broke me down. So now nearly 6 months after that May weekend we're still together.

He's been to visit me and I go visit him every 2 or 3 weeks. He even once came on a Saturday just for the night

Showed up on my doorstep! I'm glad I took the chance on meeting a virtual stranger, and I'm glad he was persistant in getting me to take a chance on a relationship.
