Five weeks of emailing and then...shazam!

It was over two months. I didn't want to drag it out. The first meeting is the most important part. If that goes well, you can start settling into the relationship.

It was two years for us...

We were very good e-mail friends... neither one of us expected a meeting b/c of the distance.

It was 8 years ago for me... just now starting to think about marriage and K1.

Took us 2 years and a half (e-mail, yim, msn, playing yahoo games, skype, telephone, ... ) to get to know each other well enough and meeting. We were in love for a year and a half before meeting and getting engaged.

... A week? if you count that he posted on a message board on a forum I read saying "My choir is touring the US next week, here are the stops" and I posted and said "Cool, one of those is right around the corner from my house, maybe I'll go." And he said, "Cool, we'll probably go eat dinner at someplace nearby after, you're welcome to come hang out if you want."

We met at that concert (my best friend and I had dinner with the choir at the pub across the street from the chapel), talked online for about a year, he came out to the US for a job interview, talked more, started a relationship, he came out to the US for the aforementioned job just under 2 years after we'd met ... and somehow we ended up getting engaged and then married.

Met in person after 3 months of chatting. But we chatted almost every night for 8 hours straigh for a month and a half! After that I was getting tickets, but it was summer, so we had to wait some another month and a half!

Although we chatted for years, neither of us was interested in a LD let alone an international relationship. Both of us were still with our previous family's and didnt discuss our failing relationships.

So it was a long time before feelings developed, and by then we knew each other pretty well...

Why is there nothing like 0, or 15 seconds?

We met in person (I had asked his friend to hold my seat and he was sitting in it for me), so I think there was about 15 seconds between where he was getting off the seat for me and introduced himself.

Met September 01 on ICQ, met in person at the Cairo airport in August 03, so 1 year, 10 months. Actually, our relationship is divided into almost 2 year periods. Meeting to meeting in person, near 2 years. Meeting in person to being together, a little over two years. Who knows what will happen 1 year and 2 months from now

Sian and I met online on a message board in October. We didn't start having a relationship though until January. Within a few days, Sian made plans to visit me. As she said, why waste our time if things don't go well in person? She arrived here in April, we got engaged, and she went back home. Then she flew here again in June. Until recently, we talked on MSN every night for 3-5 hours, and on the phone 3-5 times per week. The lack of sleep got the better of us though, so we've limited it to only a couple of nights per week on MSN, a couple of calls during her lunch hour, and one long call per week. It sucks, but it had to be done.
