Last year on my high school senior trip to Cancun Mexico I met my boyfriend, Manny. I saw him across the room at a club and all we did was stare at each other but neither of us said anything. From the moment I saw him I felt something inside me. His friend and my friend were talking to each other through my friend. I asked my friend for his name but that was it. The next day we were at another club and his friend asked one of my friends if we wanted to dance and when we went he was there and we started dancing. We didn't say a word all night, all we did was dance very closely. At the end of the day he asked what hotel I was staying at and I said I couldn't tell him and kissed and said bye. The next day I saw him at another club and we danced again, didn't speak much but we communicated alright!!! We danced all night and at the end we went to sit with my friends, his friends had left and he said he had to go. So we kissed and he went to go look for them. The next day we went on a cruise to Isla De Mujeres in Cancun and we spend the day together on the Island. On the last day there, we were at another club and I was dancing with someone else and he grabbed my hand and took me to dance and left the guy standing there. At the end of the night he said he had to go and asked me for my number and he gave me his. He took a paper and pen out of his pocket and accidentaly took out a girls number out with it. Right there I thought to myself "he is not going to call me". We exchanged numbers and had a long passionate kiss. I felt like I wasn't going to hear from him again, I thought about him all night. The next morning we left and he was on my plane. When we got to Los Angeles, where I live, he had to get another plane to go to San Diego, where he lives. He came up to me and we had a great big kiss like the ones you see in the movies. He said he was going to call me and said he wished he could stay. When I got home he called and that first weekend he came on the train to see me and stayed for about 4 hrs. then left. It's going to be 11months on 05/29/00 that we have been talking and seeing each other and it's been great. I love him like I never loved another guy before and I feel he is the one for me and will work at this because he is worth it.

I have known my boyfriend for about 2 months. I miss him more than I have ever missed someone before. I love him so much, although I am not "in" love. He lives in Ohio and I live in Indiana. Our churches get together every 2 or 3 months. Right now its about 70 days till I get to see him. We keep in touch by talking online and on the phone every single day. If I'm not talking to him , I'm talking or thinking about him. He feels the same. We are only 15 but want it to work out soo bad. I really hope it does. He's a great guy!

I've known my boyfriend Jay for about 4 years yet we never talked much. We had like one class together and that class I remember looking forward to it because I would get to see him. I was always nervous when trying to attempt to talk to him because he was always reading a book. He soon left to go to college in Chicago and every now and then I wondered about him. Always thinking such dreamy thoughts and never knowing actually why. Three years later my friend asked me to go up and visit him and his roommate. So we went. I remember that night like it was yesterday. It was a very joyous night and we had a lot of fun and did a lot of talking. I thought he was really interesting. We began hanging out and spending a lot of time with each other for the next 2 weeks. This was in June of 99. He uplifted my spirit and rejuvenated my should. I soon found out that I had to leave to go to Nevada to finish some unfinished business and now it's March and soon I will be in his arms once again. It's been very hard and painful, yet I feel as if that pain only makes the 2 of us stronger. We did the email and talked and wrote. And now I am coming home! After awhile I started to feel as if I was loving someone and something that was clearly imaginary. A lot of people laugh when I tell them my boyfriend is far away. They are really negative about the whole idea, yet I believe when there truly is true love, nothing will stop your soul from that connection.

It was the summer of 1998 and my best friend was telling me about her cousin who lived in N.J. (we live in N.Y.) who had just broken up with his girlfriend and he saw a picture of me and thought I was cute. Well she called him one day and put me on the phone. We talked for hours and continued to do so for the next couple of weeks. We decided to meet each other so I went to N.J and stayed for a week. I feel so deeply in love with him that week that I did nto want to leave, but of course I had to I was only 14 and my parents weren't hearing that. After that we spoke everyday on the phone and I visited every chance I go (which wasn't a lot). We broke up a few times but we'd always find each other calling one another like a month later. Well it's 2000, I'm 16 and I want to be with him soooooo bad I cry hysterically every time I have to leave him. He only lives an hour and a half away but I don't have a car and my father doesn't like me going out a lot. It hurts so much. I find myself just wanting to just leave and go there...Theres a bus that I get on and I don't know why I just won't do it. I'm just scared of the consequences I'll have to face if my parents fine me...All I'm saying is if your in a long distance relationship it's definitely going to be hard but just think how happy the 2 of u will be when u can be together anytime u want and fight the pain.. Because as I know it can hurt a lot...

I went on a trip to Colorado with one of my friends this summer and met the most amazing guy I've ever met in my whole life. We spent every night together just talking and looking at the stars and getting to know everything we could about each other. Not only was he extremely gorgeous, but he had an awesome personality to back it up with. Well, the trip came to a close and I had to-regretfully-tell him goodbye. We exchanged addresses and phone numbers and planned to talk to each other soon. The day after I got home he called just to make sure that I had a safe ride home. Thankfully, we live in the same starte and I plan on seeing him in about 4 months when I go to a concert. We're both going to be seniors in high school, and though this may seem like "puppy love" to some people, I truly believe that our relationship can work out and I have all the faith in the world in it.

Most of the time when I hear about all of this long distance relationship stuff...I was always like "How do people do it???" and "Never me"! Well, that all changed about 6 months ago. From the beginning ..in June of '99, my best friend and I made a new friend, Mathew from Massachusetts who had been a good friend of one of my cousins for the past 13 years and I had never known of him. Anyways, my best friend stated to talk to him on the computer and they taked everyday and it became this big thing I guess...or so I thought it was going ot be...THANK GOD IT DIDN'T! haha! Anyway, at the time I was talking to one of his really good friends, Kevin. So, one weekend in August after talking to each other for a little over 2 months, Matt, Kevin and their good friend Timmy came to NY from Massachusetts to visit me and Danielle. The weekend went great and everyone had such a good time together, but I realized that I liked Kevin as a friend and nothing more and he did the same. Danielle never told Matt that she had a boyfriend named Jeremy, so he was not only puzzled but I guess disappointed at the time for thinking that something might come of the trip. But I was glad that happened otherwise I wouldn't have him now ..haha..well, we all moved on and Danielle did her own thing...However me and Mathew grew to be very close over time. Overtime, he had found a new girlfriend named Michelle that I gave him advice about a lot and I started going out with a guy named Nicholas. So we were both doing our own thing. I was in a really bad relationship and Matt knew everything that was going on and tried to get me out of it. As time went on and we learned so much about each other, he liked me but I didn't know it. Then I knew it! hehe- and my feelings were the same but not as strong at first. We started out as two people who made fun of each other all the time and called each other names...to 2 people who e-mailed everyday ans shared special things together. It was the most amazing feeling ever falling in love with Mathew more and more everyday...and i still am 6 months later! I was coming out of a bad relationship and I was scared to get into another one b/c of getting hurt, but I know Mathew would never do anything to hurt me. No one has ever loved me more then he does and I know it. When we are together nothing else in this world matters. We see each other a lot for 2 people who live in 2 different states I think. But we do it even though it is very rough sometimes. After next year when I finish high school, I will be going to school in Boston and afterwards, hope to live there together. So to anyone who says that long distance relationships don't work...they are full of it!!! lol~ It takes a lot from each person and the key is trust...but if you have that it will work. We are a perfect example I think...I love you! : ) ~

I met Carl over two years ago in Kansas. Oddly enough, he is from Tennesee and I am from California, the only reason we were both in Kansas was to attend college. We met the last semester that I was going to be in Kansas. He was going to continue to attend school there for one more year. I received a basketball scholarship to attend another university and I ended up moving. After one semester I returned back to California due ot medical reasons and he went abck to Tennessee. Due to financial reasons I haven't been able to move to Tennessee as I planned and as each day passes, I miss him more and more. He is my first love, and although we've been through tough times, I love him more and more each day. Not one minute goes by that I don't think about him. As of now, I am hoping to move to Tennessee this coming January to begin a new chapter in this love story.

Hey! I was really excited to see that they actually had a site for long distance relationships. Right now I'm miserable and struggling to be happy while I'm away form my one true love. I'm only 17, and most people say you can't trully love someone at that age, I beg to differ. Six months ago I began dating the greatest man alive. In 1999, I switched schools and began attending a county school. It didn't take long and I was in the swing of things, making friends and meeting new people. I saw Rene, my boyfriend now, at a Halloween party one night with his girlfriend. From the start, I thought he was cute and sexy. Well after the party, I kinda forgot about him until I saw him again when we changed semesters at school and he was in my first block. Well I totally fell for him, his cute smile, and beautiful eyes. Well we began talking and haven't quit since. We have been dating for 6 months now and I love him more each day. Well, October the 9th I had to leave him. My stepdad changed jobs and we moved from Georgia to South Carolina. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do. Leave the love of my life. Right now I'm totally miserable without him. He was so much a aprt of my daily routine. We have talked everyday since I have been gone and I will probably get to see him in a couple of months but it is still so hard. I have faith in our relationship and think that if we both are strong it will last. We totally trust one another. I just miss him so much and am having a really hard time dealing. But every time I see his face or hear him call me baby or tell me he loves me I fall in love all over again. I want to marry him someday and spend the rest of my life with him. He is honestly the greatest man alive and I am so lucky to have him. I pray every night God will take care of us both and make us even stronger from this and will keep us together. Thank you so much for hearing me out!! I love you Rene!! You will always be my baby!

Around Labor day weekend my family and I went up to go visit my brother over at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. After 3 awesome days we were getting ready to leave back up to good ole' Ohio and decided we would all go up to Red Lobster for lunch before we left. I was sitting at the end of the table devouring my French fries when I looked up and saw this guy peering through a space in his booth, which was only about 10ft across from me.
I didn't think anything of it and returned back to my French fries when I looked up again and noticed he was talking to his friend and then looked back through the space again at me and smiled...this time I smiled back and couldn't help but look back up every now and then. All of the sudden he got up and walked over to our table. My heart was beating really fast and I was trying to think of something i would say, but of course my mind went completely blank. And before I knew it he was already there only ..he wasn't coming to talk to me. instead he turned out to be one of my brothers friends who came over to introduce himself to my family. It seemed to have only lasted 2 minutes at the most before he had gone back to his booth. Well a month had gone by when I received an e-mail from a guy named Raj. He said he knew my brother who told him to write me an e-mail. So of course I e-mailed him back thinking .."oh I probably won't hear from him in 2 months or so", well...the very next day I heard the three little words that would change my life.." You've got mail!". It was him. I couldn't believe it! We started writing each other everyday becoming more and more comfortable with each other and not to mention becoming closer. I soon discovered that Raj was the guy at Red Lobster who came over to our table .. and said that Steve (my brother) and shown him a picture and thought I was really pretty and wanted to write me but wasn't sure what to say. From there on we just hit it off...we talked about everything because we just felt like we could tell each other everything and anything. Months had gone by and our friendship was becoming so much more....I realized this when he was on my mind 24/7, being so excited to hear from him, and just the thought of his name made me smile. We started sending each other little cards and long e-mails that seemed to go on forever and ever. .about how we were and what was going on in our lives ..etc. I just felt so comfortable with him cause he was so easy to talk to and it seemed like I had known him all my life. it's an indescribable feeling, that I have never felt before in my life! I mean I have had my crushes and "flings" but no feeling had ever been so strong as the one I had for him. He boosted up my self-esteem and made everyday the best even if it was the worst. He moved the clouds away from the sun and made my life complete. We always talked about what would become of us. since he was in Virginia and I was Ohio and always said that we would always be the best of friends and would grow old complaining about our dentures. .hehe. But both of us wanted it to be sooo  much more. :) We finally got to talk on the phone a few times which seemed like eternity even though each only lasted about 15 minutes. I knew this was something and someone I couldn't loose. Our e-mails started becoming less and less though our hearts where still as close as they had always been. So I e-mailed him and called him as much as I could even though both our schedules were so hectic.. I wanted to keep it alive because I just couldn't picture my life without him. Well 6 1/2 months have gone by and we're still as strong as we had been when we first started writing each other. I'm just so thankful to God for placing him in my life and for giving him the courage to write me, cause if he hadn't. I would have missed out on something so incredible!! =)
