Well, here is my story:
3 years ago I went back to school via online to get my degree. During one of the classes I worked with a young lady and due to the collaboration on projects I got to know her quite well online. This led to talking to her on the phone. Anyhow, this led to talking to her for about 3 hours a night on the phone for about 6 months. We exchanged photos, yes, you could tell they were real photos. I did have someone do a background check etc etc.
Anyhow, we decided to meet. Only one problem, she lived in New York, and I live in Minnesota.
I started making travel plans, as I was going to visit NYC for vacation to see the statue and Ellis Island etc etc.
Anyhow, one day she just never answered the phone again. Found out through one of my other classmates that she had second thoughts and really was not ready for it because of how "intense" everything was.
Fast forward 3 years. The other night she popped up on my yahoo messenger. I sent her a quick message, hello, hope everything is well with you. Basically just a hey, how are you doing situation.
Well, she messaged me back saying things were fine and wanted to know how I was. Anyhow, she proceeded to tell me how she was a little freaked out about caring so much for someone she met in an online class and sharing so much of her life with that person.
3 hours of online chatting later, she made sure I had her phone numbers to contact her. She actually made me promise to call her the next night.
Last night after 4 hours on the phone, it is like we never quit talking. For the last 2 days we have been exchanging text messages back and forth.
Anyhow, lets just say, she has no regrets about what she did, but some for some divine reason we are back to talking.
She has offered to come and visit and would have been here today if I had said yes.
Or I could go there.
Lets face it, a round trip plane ticket is $230 With non stop, 2.5 hours on the plane, flying there and back in a day is no problem, a lot of executives do this all the time.
So here I am, do I do a day trip rent a car and treat this as a normal date?
I did some online dating when I was younger, but out of all these years and dating and talking to someone there has only been one other person whom I have had so much in common with and who I could really talk to.
We have extensively talked about what happened 3 years ago and I am convinced it was an issue of cold feet.
She is now a professional as am I. Both only one short relationship in that 3 year span, and both still holding a flame for the other during that time.
Opinions and comments please?
