Good luck. My wife and I met over the internet.
She was living in Denver (Aurora) and I was in Virginia (Woodbridge). She found me by accident and we started using IM to chat. I sent a few pictures, which didn't totally scare her off
I created some voice files for a vocal e-mail message and she did the same for me.
After a few weeks of chatting, we both came to the separate conclusion that it was too bad we were so far apart.
A few weeks later and we were working out meeting places (we were going to meet in Florida for Guavaween since we're both Halloween nuts).
I found out that Weird Al Yankovic was having a concert in Denver over Columbus day weekend and quickly booked a flight. See Weird Al
and hook up with Rita? That's a no brainer.
I almost missed my flight back (she was showing me the mountains). I got to the plane just as they were closing the doors.
We chatted for a couple of more weeks and decided that I'd get a plane ticket to fly from Florida to Denver and I helped her move to Virginia. She shipped her stuff to my house and we drove her car across country.
Halloween 2000 we married in the backyard of my house.
March 2004 I resigned from my 6 figure job in DC and in April we moved to Colorado.
I'm not making as much as I was in VA but I'm certainly having more fun and she's much happier back in Colorado. Virginia was a nightmare for her. I'd lived there for 30+ years so I was used to it. Heading back to visit this past April showed me that VA traffic was in fact, a nightmare
These guys here in Colorado don't know how good they have it
On the flip side though, I dated several flakes before finding her as did she. Her best friend, after we got together, went on line, found "the love of her life" after two weeks and moved to Australia. 6 months later she changed her mind and moved to Idaho. Now she's in Tucson AZ and we're visiting in October.
It's just like the local dating pool, just that the pool is much larger. IMing with her seemed to make a world of difference. We became friends and discovered our mutual likes and dislikes (she doesn't like Genesis and I positively
hate Adam Sandler) well before we decided to hook up.
Good luck and be careful.
