Hello everyone,

Most of you may know me. If not, please refer to me as Link or Daylon. I'd like to share my story with this wonderful community. When I say my story I mean the story of my love life. The story of how I met my current girlfriend and how our relationship has been since we have been together. Before continuing on, please do not "flame" or post unnecessary comments as I don't wan't to hear anything negative you might have to say about me. Thanks in advance.

2010:

In 2010, I spent my time going through High School playing baseball for my school team. I played 3rd base and outfield. I was the fastest kid on the team running the 60 yard dash in 6.6 seconds. School ended at ~ 2:00 PM and I had baseball practice every day until 6:30. I usually didn't get home until 7:00, but as soon as I did I would hit the computer. I loved playing computer games in my free time. I tried every game imaginable, from Runescape to Combat Arms. One game I was playing religiously at the time was Audition. It seemed similar to Dance Dance Revolution so I gave it a try. It was very challenging and kept my brain at work while I was having fun. Being an MMO, this game had many different people from around the world playing, one of which being my future girlfriend without me knowing. I was in no way looking for a relationship online. I was going through my everyday schedule, then taking it easy at night playing some video games on the computer. Eventually I met a girl who we're gonna refer to as Lexi. Lexi and I would talk every day casually on the game and play with each other for fun. This game has a "couple" feature where if you choose to do so, you can get a dance partner to team up with in-game and play against other people. In June of this year, both Lexi and my dance partner went MIA. They never told us anything and just left. After a month of waiting for our partners to come back, we decided to let all the progress we had made with our "couple" go to waste and start over with each other as a dance partner. After getting to know each other pretty well over the internet, we decided it was safe to exchange numbers so in case something happened and we couldn't play we could let each other know. We started talking more and more and got to know each other better. Eventually, we were at the point where we would talk on the phone with one another. I suppose before I knew it I was in an online relationship. What the hell was I doing?

2011:

Months had gone by and 2011 had rolled around. I couldn't keep her off my mind. By this time I had already known so much about her and seen pictures/skyped etc. Eventually we had to tell our parents about it. I was the first one to do it. It was a really awkward moment for me to have to tell my parents that I was talking to a girl who lived on the other side of the country.

In the late months of this year things only got worse. We were at a 3 hour time difference from east coast to west coast already, but something happened. Her parents made her move to Hawaii and our time difference doubled. We talked about it and came to the conclusion that we would continue our relationship no matter the distance.

2012:

By this time it had been 2 years that we have been in an online relationship with one another. I felt so much for this girl but had never even met her. For christmas of 2011 I got an iPhone and I was just starting to learn how to use every feature it had to offer. This phone is probably the only reason our relationship had lasted so long because of it's FaceTime feature. I could talk to her any time we were both home without paying a dime. Every day we would FaceTime and it got to the point where it was hard for the two of us to sleep because we would wonder about each other. We were at a point where we would sleep at night with the phone next to each other in case one of us needed the other. By this time I was a senior in High School and she was a Junior. Prom only happens twice and I missed out on my Junior prom. I decided not to let it happen again. I talked with Lexi, my parents, and her parents. My father and I purchased two plane tickets from Hawaii to Georgia for Lexi to come to my prom with me. I was in shock that I was finally going to meet this girl that I knew so much about. At the same time I was nervous.

Lexi and her mother flew for 9 hours to meet us at the airport. I was so nervous about meeting her it drove me nuts. I still remember that moment when I saw her for the first time. It was such a satisfying moment. We spent three whole days together. It wasn't long but it was something. We went to prom together and her and her mother stayed upstairs in the comfort of my home. We had such a great time but it flew by and before I knew it, it was time for her to go. I kissed her goodbye and turned away as she started to cry. I didn't know when the next time I would see her would be. Those days, however, only brought us closer. The year went by and I started College. We would talk every day but the time difference kept me up late hours every night. My grades were slipping and it seemed that there was nothing I could do to help myself.

2013:

This year has been one amazing year so far. This was her Senior year in High School and her graduation and prom was coming up. Remember how I said prom only happens twice? Well I suppose I was wrong. My family and I flew to Hawaii for her prom and graduation this year. This was quite costly, as five of us flew across the world to go and meet Lexi's family. I visited for 11 days total and had a great time at prom and her graduation. In two months, she will be moving to Georgia to be with me as we go to College together. This is the story of my GIrlfriend and my long absence on my vacation.

Don't believe me?
