I cybered with a British girl back in Halo 2. Lasted about a month. It ended with a hilarious cluster-blam!- of the wrong people joining the room at the wrong time. I might type the story up later when I have time (or, if I can find it, my clan at the time made a machinima about it). That's about it for long-distance relationships for me.

I'm kind of annoyed that I, hopeless romantic, didn't remember the day we told each other how we felt. But I was playing Left 4 Dead, near the petrol station on No Mercy. I have a great visual memory, see. Oh, that relationship. It was the best. I learned so much about her, about myself, about give and take, compromise and comfort, and I'll never be the same again. The distance wasn't what ended it. I was willing to go see her when I had the money, still want to one day. But just shy of six months after meeting and maybe two or three of being in love, her daughter kicked up a fuss about our age difference. It took me years to get over her, but about a year or two ago, I finally came to a place where I can be happy that she's engaged. We're still amazing friends, and talk quite a bit. I just sometimes wish... It'll be five years tomorrow since we met. :)

Well there was this one girl.....

3 years. At times it was ridiculously awful. How could it not be with an extreme amount of distance in between? At the time, I connected with my long distance partner like I had never connected with anyone in my life. It was on a completely different level. A lot of people will probably never experience such a strong want, need, drive. It's a shame because there's nothing like it. It never really ended. We're no longer together but we're great friends to each other and visit as much as possible. Shit happens, people grow, but he will always be a part of my life.
