no internet sex stories here, but...
about four years ago, when i first got the internet, i met this guy who was a year younger than me on some resident evil [video game] forums. we became really close friends and chatted very often, and then we became "boyfriend and girlfriend," i guess you would call it. anyway, we were together, without meeting one another, for about a year until a very messy and painful breakup during the summer.
we maintained sporadic contact for a while after that, but the breakup was so bad that we couldn't talk much without upsetting one another. however, a year or more later, he informed me that he had never told his parents about our breakup. as a result of this, his family decided to vacation in my hometown -- a rural and unlikely place in arkansas -- so he could meet me.
needless to say the meeting was very awkward. i brought a friend with me to alleviate the tension. nothing really happened; i met him and his family and they had no idea how terrible that meeting was for us.
however, we are better friends now, and talk semi-frequently. the sores from that relationships have healed, finally.
ahh, dramatic internet stuff!
