Aboutvanessaoz Expertise I love helping people and and some may say that I am a very chatting and friendly person. I can offer advice to people who are in long distance or a different cultural online relationship as I have experienced both. I know how hard it can be and how heartbreaking it can be but I also know how rewarding they can be.
i live in australia so depending where you live my time frame for answering may differ but i will try to answer within 24 hours of receiving your question.
Experience I have experience with online relationships and having friends who are in one or have had them, I know the highs and lows that can come from being in one, especially long distance. I have been online for five years and met many people from different cultures.
Question I have a boyfriend who lives 2 hrs away from me. I know it may not seem that far but because our relationship is a secret from our parents, I cant just meet him anytime I want. I have met him a couple of times at a party at my friends house and thats how we met. Ive known him for almost 3 yrs but just as fiends. He asked for my cell phone but i didnt have one so i gave him my msn. Just 2 weeks ago, he asked me out on msn and weve chatted on msn for a week now. Its difficult because online chatting, hes very different. He seems more open, and can be alil bit of a jerk sometimes but in person, hes a total sweetheart. I dont know why he act like this. When i tell him its mean, he gets alittle angry. But we make up some mins later. Now he is grounded for 1 month for some reason. I want to email him but I would feel like im buggin him. I also want him to email me first but I dont think thats going to happen. I dont know if our online relationship would work? what do you think? my friend keep tellin me to not give up because its just been 2 weeks since weve dated. help me.
thank you
and also i wanna know what kind of things people talk abt online when were going out. like i sometimes feel we dont have much to talk abt but in person, we have tons to talk about. He is more open about "other" things online and im more conservative online, for some weird reason. lol.. so please help me!
Answer hi anonymous,
thanks for your questions..
its amazing how many people are not themselves online. they feel because they are hiding behind a computer screen they can be a different person then the one they are in real life. i hear this a lot from people. most people feel less intimdated on the net then talking to someone face to face.
its harder for you because your hiding this relationship from your parents, im not sure of the reason why but if i was you, i feel you should talk to them about it and maybe they could help you see him a little more often.
you cant build on a relationship if your feeling guilty and cant tell your parents. only you know the reasons why you cant tell them and maybe they are the reasons that your friends are telling you to give up on him.
try talking about what you like and ask him the same. there are so many topics, movies, songs, tv shows, sports, food, drink, places you would like to visit, places you would like to live, jobs you both migh like to name a few.
