One girlfriend I met over the internet. Techinically, we met in a Yahoo chat room. That was back in '97 or so, when it was relatively cool (enough) to chat in a chat room like that (and be 16 years old). We had a great friendship for about 2 years. She lived in Idaho, myself in Florida. In '99, I got with my first girlfriend who I went to school with... that was a nightmare and, after 5 months, finally broke it off (she was abusive and stuff to me). The very next day, while talking to my online female friend, I asked her if she'd be my girlfriend. Three and a half years later, she moved down to live with me. Unfortunately, we only lasted a few months after she moved here, but it's because we "grew up" apart from each other. After a bit, no hard feelings.

Girlfriend number 2, I met at work. From my first day of work, I had an instant love and lust for her... she was wonderful. Well, I worked there for almost a full year before we started going out. She left her (shitty, neglectful) boyfriend to be with me. It lasted 5 months and we broke up for small reasons, basically just weren't compatible (or so I thought... a few months ago, I wished I could have her back, but she's married and moved on and away). After we broke up, we had regular (upwards of 3 or 4 times a week) sex for more than a year. After that, came...

Girlfriend number 3 and I met, again, at work (different company by then). She was unhappy with her boyfriend for quite some time, I tried to help her out, she ended up leaving him because of multiple reasons (one of which being the fact she could all but prove 100% he cheated on her... but he was an idiot, and a bad liar, and it was obvious he had). The day after she broke up with him, I took her to get some food after work and sit and chat, which we'd actually done several times before. She vented, I comforted, we ate, we drank. I can take a lot of alcohol, she's a lightweight. She wasn't feeling up to driving, so I said "let's just go watch a movie or soemthing at my house, you know i'm literally one minute around the corner, and you'll have water and we'll chat some more, and when you're good to go, i'll bring you back to your car. You can't drive 25 minutes home with being tipsy like you are." She very much agreed with me, and accepted.

We got through part of the movie, and we both agreed we were tired. We decided to go lie down. Well... I wanted to have sex with her, she wanted to have sex with me... it'd been like 2 months without it for me, but something like 6 months for her... and after lying there in the darkness for about 10 minutes, things started happening.

We were togther from then on for about 6 months, and then broke up. I still can't figure out exactly why, and right now I'm waiting to see if I can get her back. She's dating someone else right now, only been together for like 2 weeks. I hate to say it, but I hope it doesn't work out... because I think she'd let me come back. I've recently realized that I really do miss her... not just "company", not just "being with someone", but HER.
