I have met a few girls online and ended up with one for a couple of years. We met with her brother and his boyfriend all together for the first time and had a blast all of us. We got along great and have met even after we split. The distance between us killed the relationship basically. She wasnt really moveable and neither was I. 2 different countries even it it is Sweden and Denmark is a barrier even if you want it or not.
My current girl and I met through a normal dating site and clicked right off the bat. This is definitely the best relationship I have ever had and it just feels so "easy" if you know what I mean.
We never had the safecalls and all that and met about a week after we first talked on MSN but met on a public place and it just "clicked".
Luckily for me (and her i think) is that she enjoys the Dom/sub parts that I need (mostly for the bedroom).
I am truely happy right now.
