I met my fiance on the computer and I felt just like you do right now.
He was perfect, cute, funny, he smoked, liked to talk to me and lived 6 hours away. We would visit each other every other month or so for a week at a time. We took vacations and trips together.
We have had a long distance relationship for four years and the end of this month I am going to move in with him. When he finishes college we are getting married and I am so happy I can't beleive it is happening to me.
Don't listen to those haters, it can happen, it does happen, and it will happen.
