Love & Heartbreak

I think I'm in love. With my best friend. And I don't know what to do. I know he loves me too but we live over 4000 miles apart so a practical relationship it is not. I love talking to him but it makes me sad to think that we can't see eachother in person to solidify or even validate the relationship.

Other people have told me i'm being silly. You can't love someone you meet on the internet. Well, me and countless other people are proof that you can. One of my oldest online friends said the following to me (name changed):

Adam (04:09 AM) :
personally, I think you get into these internet relationships, because you are scared that in real life you will be hurt, whereas the net has a level of detachment that either makes you feel more in control, or that its easier not to get bent out of shape about...

Adam (04:11 AM) :
but I think you find protection there... You really are old enough that you shouild be out finding a real life bf... and do not give me bullshit that the guys around you are all tossers... the internet guys you are wanting to have relationship are all fictional characters... you can imbue them withwhatever fantasy qualities you like...

I know he is right but it's not like I intend to feel this way about someone I have never met. These things just happen. And it's a lie that I don't get bent out of shape over the net. I do. Otherwise I would not be writing these things on a blog. xP

I'm sure other people know exactly what I am talking about. Anyway, there is not much I can do about it. I think I'm just going to see where it goes. I did talk to him about it but there really isn't anything either of us can do. But we are aware. That's a plus at least.
