SCREEN!!!!:

>>>Hi - I'm divorced now, and I have been for awhile.
>>>
>> Hello, I am single, and have been for a while.

>What's your mom's email address? I'll ask her to nag the shit out of you so 
>that she can get a grand daughter/son :p

...You sure you really wish me to breed?


>>
>> Also, god bless you.

>You, of all people believe in God? Could have had me fooled :p

Figure of speech, or something. I do officially belong to the church,
but other than the name of that paper, I'm not much of a religious
person.


>> Not to be mean, but I'd be kind of - no, strike that, quite offended
>> if I'd be married and my wife would run off with... an "Internet
>> Boyfriend". Well, I gather that's just the cream of the crop, but
>> still.

>In other words, you're saying that Luc should bash that guy up and still be 
>Sandra's friend?

Har, no. 
It's just that "internet boy/girlfriends" and long-distance
relationships are for most of the part a doomed and venture and people
usually engaging in such... well, it's a certain breed for most of the
part. Call it having both heard and seen too many such stories and
perhaps even some personal experience from good'ol teenage years, but
it's become a rather red flag for me :p

Personally I'm of the opinion that you can not get to know someone for
real through just the interweb/phone and perhaps even meeting a few
times. It takes time and more over, real face to face social
interaction. And no, this is not only because some people like to wear
masks while on the interwebs

But I guess that's moot now that she's actually moving to the guy, so
only thing left to see is how well interweb personalities mingle in
real life once the reality of day-to-day life hits - sometimes it can
be rather ugly.

That's not to say it can't be successful - I have a friend who met her
boyfriend through an internet chat for a radio channel (harharhar) and
she lived 500 km from the guy at that time. Chatted/phoned a lot, met
a few times, and then finally moved here after half a year or so (to
her own apartment, though) of initial contact, and they've been
together ever since... ~5 years and counting, And engaged for 2 of
those. Of course she'd had to move out of the boonies anyway at some
point sooner or later in order to study, so I guess it was despite all
the logical choice to make.
Happy end for sure, but in my experience stories like that are way
more the exception than the rule.
