The only online person I have ever met was Master. I did have opportunities to meet two other men, both vanilla, but those fizzled out quickly. One of them was separated from his wife and wanted me to come meet him. He said that he would buy me a plane ticket, but as soon as I actually took him up on his offer and was making plans, he "suddenly" decided that he wanted to go back to his wife. He sent me an e-mail apologizing and all, but I had already written him off and deleted his e-mail without answering it. The other guy suddenly disappeared after I started making plans to meet him. He probably "suddenly" remembered that he had a wife tucked away somewhere.

Master and I met in a RPG chat room in Yahoo. He was living in CA and I was in TN. W/we chatted as O/our RPG characters for a couple of weeks before W/we gradually got to know each other as O/ourselves. W/we met online in December 1998 and over that summer He moved from CA to MI. When He got back online after a couple of months He expressed to me how He felt about me. I was also crazy about Him as well. W/we had by that time been chatting on the phone, sending e-mail and snail mail to each other. He came down to visit me over the Christmas holidays in 1999 and stayed a little past New Year's Day 2000. He came back at the end of January 2000 and W/we eloped on October 13, 2000 (yes, it was Friday the 13th and a full moon Friday as well).

I know that I broke a ton of rules when W/we first met IRL, because no one knew He was coming to visit me, He was staying with me in my own apartment, etc. I've always been a risk taker when it comes to men and sex, placing myself in situations that I really shouldn't be in. Why I trusted Master so completely from the beginning like that, I really can't say. I only know that I did. I took a big gamble and it paid off. I have never looked back.
