Dear Lynda,
Hi!! My boyfriend and I met off the internet. The only problem is the distance. He is in the Army and I am a full time mother to a 5 month old and we are both in debt. We want so badly to be together, we say it was “love at first type” There was something there between us that hasn’t been there before… How do we make this last to where we can be together in person someday……..

Dear Confused with LD relationship,
Internet Romances are not TOO different to ‘real-life’ relationships. They both require you to spend time with each other, communicate, play, laugh, cry and even fight.
However, it is the way that you go about doing these things that is different. For example, instead of waking up with your partner beside you, you may be woken by the sound of his voice on the phone wishing you a good morning (even though it might be evening for him), or there might be an ecard from him telling you just how special you are. Another day it might be a recorded voice message, or a flower delivery or a lovely long email.
As you are probably aware by now, an Internet Romance definitely takes a lot more work, but it is certainly much more rewarding and you can feel love and communication that you never thought possible.
