It does remind me of how things were for me when I first met my 'yf' (I've never called him that before but that is what he always was of course.) on the net. That was back in 1999 and we are still friends but the relationship has changed over the years of course and long gone are the daily chats. He was 21 this year.I'm just remembering that, in the first month of making contact with him I was using a landline connection and my monthly phone bill (the net was 1 penny a minute) came to £800. I got a wireless link after that. My point is just that internet relationships CAN work so hang in there and love him all you can :)
