I have known this guy for a couple of years now and,he went away to japan a few months ago. We just reasontly started talking online again, and my feelings have started to get stronger for him.  He liked me before he left but, I did not want to date him cause he would be leaving in a few weeks.  I just wish I knew what would happen when he comes back.

my husband is an ex marine, granted we did not date while he was a marine, that was years ago, but our marriage works and he is still a marine at heart!  A relationship with anyone in the military is always going to be hard because of deployment, it depends on the inner person, on wether the relationship will work.  You have to be strong enough to deal with separation, and strong enough to have faith that the one you love is faithful.  Good luck, mrswayne4

Maybe it's the fact that I'm a little older.  But I feel that when a man has doubts about his feelings for me, then it's best that I leave him alone with his feelings.  I refuse to let a man keep me dangling and waiting.  Is it worth the wait, possibly?  But I can't wait forever and so I continue moving on with my life.  If he comes around then great, if not then I know it's not meant to be.

If you recently met this guy you have to be a liitle patient and not just enter a relationship with him. Do you personally know why he travels so frequently? You ahve to be careful when its comes to this type of situation. All I can say is to be a little patient and do not rush into anything.

I met the guy I'm dating on the internet. He lived 12 hours away and wanted to come and meet me after about 5 months. I was in college and my professors and friends told me to have him come to the school to meet me. That way there were plenty of other people there and they could give me their opinions of what they thought of him. Never meet anyone alone where there are no other people or anyone you know. It's been over three years since that day and we are still together.

I met a guy online 6 years ago and fell in love with him that very night. We talked online daily and on the phone every Friday night and Sunday afternoon. 2 years later he flew here to meet me. I will never ever forget seeing him for the very first time.  My heart was pounding so hard I could hardly breathe. Words cannot express the love I felt at that very moment.\n\nRemember...\nIt takes time to know people.  To know if they are for real.\nAnd always meet in a public place for the first few times.  Trust your gut feeling, mine never lets me down.\n\nGood luck and be careful.

OMG!!!! i am in your shoes in the current moment!!! My guy friend of four years lives in Seattle, but is working out here in California. I so like him, but he only admires me as a friend, he loves to hang out with me, even get advise from me!!! what sucks is tht i recently told him tht i liked him & i feel weird & he's his normal self. i think tht a friend is unconditional, but we are trying to put conditions. i just think tht we have to hang in there & hope tht someone will admire us as, we admire them. sooner or later it will come!!!! Sometimes we as humans want to control, when, where & time. We just need to realize tht the time will come. We kinda have to open ourselves to the world & understand tht our love is One sided. Until then we are just hurting ourselves. they r nt the ones causing pain, we r!!!!! Be strong & hang in there. Somedays are harder than ours. But our time will come. Good Luck!!!!!

Yes, my current man. I felt real weird at first since I had never dated online. But there was just something about him. We had a connection.\n\nWe met in the middle of our towns to go to the movies. When he got out of his car he ran up and gave me a huge bear hug! All the nervousness and tension was gone and from there on out we were super close.

wow...I'm in the EXACT same position. I could've asked this question because I'm going through the same thing. I've been absolutely infatuated with this guy and don't know what I will do once he leaves. It's so difficult but the best way to get through it is to find another guy. It sounds much easier than it really is because no one compares to "him."

Feelings are hard to understand.  My best advice is to give him time.  Give him space and do not call.  If you have changed, this is your time to prove it and lay off for a little while, if there is hope for the relationship, it will shine through.  However, be mentally and emotionally prepared for him to not come back.  In the end, this is not the last guy you will ever date, you're life might have just begun.

Hi there...let me tell you my story...we met with my hubby on internet 4 yrs ago. We fell in love with each other the first time we spoke to each other, without even seeing a picture! We knew each other only through Yahoo Messenger (thanks Yahoo!:)) and we made that big STEP.I decided to get documents (I am from Europe) and come over.Nobody in my family knew,but my mother.Imagine meeting at Philly airport, among all these strangers....that kiss was the best kiss in my life...but going home after a wonderful week...was heartbreaking. I thought I would die...we realized we could not be without each other....and we are still deeply in love....He is the best what happened to me, however, I am realizing, how fortunate I was, someone up there was really watching out for me....so....If I may, I am strongly suggesting, meet in the USA. If he really cares, he will get the visas, be careful...AIDS, money, credit cards etc...sometimes it is better to keep that relationship as is...friendship...your heart must know....but don't forget the brain...who knows, there might me a reall Mr. Wonderfull waiting for you around the corner and you don't even know about it....internet love seems to be so romantic and exciting, but yet, so dangerous and risky....please think twice...you might not be as lucky as I was....

When I fell in love with my guy I just knew he was the one for me. I was happy every single time I thought of him and even happier when I saw him. I couldn't picture myself with anyone else or being by myself. I missed him when he wasn't there and I miss him right now because he's out of town on a business trip. :(

so why were you only planning on going out with him one time? you are not even giving this guy a chance, im kind of wondering why? but if you really have your mind set on only going out with him once then i don't think you should call him back. what really gets me though is you feel bad for not calling him back, but not for only giving him half the chance he may deserve. sorry to say but you might be missing out on a good thing.

I was 17 and it was our first date. He was 17 too. We went to Makoto in Dothan. We were fine until his girlfriend showed up. I had no idea he had a gf. She punched me in my face so I stood up and knocked the s*** out of her. Then he stood up and told me he was sorry but I told him to take me home NOW. And then Isaid don't ever tlk to me again or ask me out again. He took me home and never spoke to me again.

The only dating I have done as an adult has been from on here.  I usually kind of know the person, have talked on the phone and online for quite awhile before we meet.  I have usually dreamed about the meeting for some time.  I tend to live a bit in a fantasy world.  I think about will we have as much fun together laughing, will he see me and think that I am not what he expected, etc.  I don't worry about how I will see the other person because I have already formed an emotionally satisfying bond from talking for awhile.

Well first of all I would almost bet that you will get some smart comment from someone cause of the fact that you met online, but I can relate to you in that way.  I met my current boyfriend online as well.  I live in NY for the time being because of acting and he's from MN, where I'm originally from.  We have made it a point to see each other as often as possible to make sure that we don't grow apart.  We talk on the phone quite a bit and everytime I feel like I might question the whole relationship, hearing him at the end of the day lets me know that it will all work out.  I think that it is definitely possible to make a long distance relationship work as long as you both want it, because when one person isn't fully in it then that's when things seem to go wrong.  I'll be back in MN soon and I'll still be about 4 hrs away from him but that's a lot close than 23-24 hrs.  I can handle that short distance and so can he. I know if you both want it and are really in love then it will work out how it is suppose to.

Most guys aren't like him... I think he's a real catch, honey.  Maybe he'll propose to you before he leaves for Iraq.  I hope he'll stay safe there!  If you want, you can email me or something and keep in touch, because I'd like to know how this turns out.
