Here is a my relationship
Beginning - December 2004 / January 2005
I met Monica in December 2004 on the internet via AIM/MSN. We chatted alot to each other in the days coming up to New Years, almost day and night. The first time we started chatting we quickly hit it off. I asked her if she had any plans for New Years, she didn't so we spent New Years together over the internet. We hooked up our microphones and webcams (Her microphone was not working at the time) and began to chat.
Celebrating New Years via the internet may seem like a silly thing for most people, although it was probably the best New Years i'd ever had. There was none of that 'getting drunk' and then passing out stuff that most people look forward to, it was just pure intellectual discussion regarding the paranormal with mix with competetive debating..
Discussion on the Paranormal/U.F.O.s/Goverment Conspiracies is really what brought us so close together.
About a week after New Years day we spent day and night talking to each other, I was having dreams about her almost every night. I remember the first time I heard Monica's voice over the microphone, she was so nervous it was cute. She'd make these little trembling noises and her voice was shaky. After talking with her verbally down the microphone and built up the courage to tell her how I felt, it's different orally saying 'I love you' to someone you've only been speaking to with text for as long as you've known them. The only reason I found it difficult to first say was fear of being rejected. So I just said what was in my heart, she went quiet for a moment and muttered out a little trembling noise again. At that point I knew it wasn't a bad thing, so I said 'I love you' again.
I remember her saying the same back shortly afterwards, when she felt less nervous and free of the other relationship she was in at the time.
During the end of January 2005 I visited Paris on a college trip. This was very hard, breaking contact from Monica for those 4 days. I wrote in my travel journal how I felt at the time, I was mostly fearing that she would leave me for someone else during this time because i'd gotten so close to her in such a short period of time.
*I shall be putting my travel journal entries here soon*
