Well, I guess I should learn to eat my words.
That younger one I was talking about? We're sort of together now.
Yeah, I didn't even see it coming, but I adore him and he's really sweet. It's all online, which is also something I never saw myself involved in. But I guess anything's possible, right?
I never really liked to be critical of other people's relationships or how they met, because I think anything can work, but I guess I really have no room to talk now.
I still would not recommend looking for someone online. But if you happen into something like I did, well, good on you!

Oni Nekosan I still would not recommend looking for someone online. But if you happen into something like I did, well, good on you! i think an important thing about non-irl relationships is not to go looking for them. ive noticed that most of the examples here are, 'well ive knew this guy online forever and it just kinda worked'

I agree with Shinny. You shouldn't try to find a relationship over the Internet, but sometimes when you've known a person for a long time it works.

Sometimes amazing things can happen though...
I've travelled up to the northeast to meet a couple people I have played WoW with for the last couple years, and though I couldn't stay long, it was great to see the actual people behind the undeads!
By making those friends, and this is wierd still to me, I ended up starting to date the brother of one of them shortly after my marriage fell apart last year.
I've talked with this one player for over a year, and when the crisis hit, we started talking more, then he came down here to meet me. biggrin It's already been half a year we have been seeing each other...who knows where it will lead biggrin

I totally agree, most online relationships I've had, friendship or other, I've happened into completely by accident. I don't think many people go online to search for a best friend, lol, but I met one of my best friends online and met her in real life not long after. We still talk all the time, and take turns visiting each other. She doesn't live extremely far away, but enough that it's annoying to drive there.
Congrats Pearness, I really hope everything works out for you!
It's rare, but every so often you happen upon that worthwhile person in WoW wink

I feel like being on WoW is making me more and more paranoid!!
See, my ex and I don't talk anymore, and even though our break up back in February was mutual, I just miss him so much. And I don't talk to him or see him at all, but I check his myspace at least once a day to see if he's on, and on WoW, he's never on his main character (whose in the same guild as me) but maybe is using an alt and I just don't know!!
The internet is too good of a way to stay connected to people, because its making it extremely difficult to completely move on and sever ties with him. And I would transfer to a new server, but I wouldn't be able to pay for it, and what's worse is I feel like my main reason for not wanting to transfer is because then I'd never get to play with him again.
Moving on from relationships is so incredibly difficult. Damn you, internet.

I agree that SOME breakups are hard to let go, especially the mutual, or friendly ones... the angry ones are super easy to get over. burning_eyes

Iamsquishy1n2 I agree that SOME breakups are hard to let go, especially the mutual, or friendly ones... the angry ones are super easy to get over. burning_eyes I totally agree with that. smile With the separtion/divorce I am going through with my ex, it was the easiest thing for my daughter and I to slep my soon-to-be-exes toons on ignore (and it's basically for my daughters protection as we have a restraining order out against him too). I didn't even shed a tear at ignoring him. But now with my best friends break up with her online beau, that has been super hard for her. It was kinda mutual, but my best friend still pines for him. She played with him in several MMO's and she can't escape him it seems, which only makes her more and more sad. Pretty much, she built her online life around him. Now it's to the point she would have to kinda re-create her online life to avoid him as much as possible, and that is hard to do. It's wierd how relationships can get online.

I actually met my current BF from another game, City of Heroes, then i got burned out of that, so we decided to try out WOW. He didnt like it at first, but I said it's better than nothing, so we stayed.
Now he's living here with me in Cali (previously in Puerto Rico, he moved in last year), and we've been together for one and a half years now smile He's great. I don't think our relationship is typical, though, I think I just got lucky.

I'm taken IRL, but my Druid has an companion/mate to this cool guy. I'm not cheating or anything, but it's RP. We are friends, just playing our characters.

Rajsela I'm taken IRL, but my Druid has an companion/mate to this cool guy. I'm not cheating or anything, but it's RP. We are friends, just playing our characters. you gotta be careful with stuff like that though, make sure that he knows its just RP or you could end up with some major problems down the road. also if the irl bf doesnt know already, that could be a hairy to explain =/

I had a boyfriend IRL who played WoW, we started talking when he heard me talk to a newbie friend of mine about installing it and the basics, no, he just happpened to be listening from the other side of the walkway, lol. Anyways he played on kargath and i play warsong, so he decided to move his main toons to my server, thats where he met my dad, lol. We played together ALOT and when it soured, something happened but neither of us know what, sad because we both kinda knew that it was finished sad I had a huge friend base on my server so he was kind enough to go back to his server and even though i didnt want him to he left the facebooks and the twitter sort of things we joined together, hmmph.... lucky me neutral But yeah, now his friends who also moved, but didnt move back are all over me, pretty gross considering you just have that feeling like you KNOW they still have matchbox cars printed on their undies, lol. OH! and this is considered important for me! be careful of all the sad sack marines! sure, it feels funny being dueled over for a bit, but then a couple of them started going into detail..... gross.
