I don't know if miss is the right word because we get to speak online almost every day, but it's hard being so far away from the one I love and knowing neither of us can afford a plane ticket yet. All I want is to be able to cuddle him. He looks so squashy and warm. Still, we've made it for over a year and a half without meeting. I guess the distance will just make being able to meet so much sweeter when it finally happens. Having a vivid imagination doesn't help much. I can imagine what it would be like to hug him, and it's like my own imagination is teasing me.
Awww, I know what you mean. I am in a long-distance relationship right now and I waited 3 months to meet him. BOTH of us had VERY active imaginations, and since we talked about everything, we drove ourselves crazy waiting to meet. It was magical meeting, but him leaving was incredibly hard. Once of the hardest things I've had to do (aside from being kicked out of college...I mean, cough, being on medical leave). Anyways, I'm here to offer the flip side. The stress of everything in my life and us being in love (as we were when we physically got to meet each other for the first time) led to us sliding back to when we hadn't met (luckily we didn't break-up totally). The thing was, neither of us was ready for a full-time relationship. Even though we wanted it so badly, I wasn't mature enough, and he wasn't ready with his job and schooling to be in one...that was so serious. Someday we may get there, but being there even for that short amount of time and losing that because of circumstance (and my mind, I might be bipolar or have an anxiety disorder) hurt so freaking badly...you don't even want to imagine the pain. Once yall meet, you will be able to go on with life in a relationship irl I assume (as long as you have chemistry, it's different from online, but it is amazing <3 ) So instead of going forward going back, forward, back, etc....Like mine with Kevin has

You will be able to just go forward. (That's what happens when you fall in love too young). So, although a year 1/2 is a long time to wait, and I couldn't imagine that long to first meet Kevin, it's better than pushing the relationship to grow too fast and having it shrink because of life and unfortunate timing. Hope this helped.
Oh, and you'll never want to let him go once you meet him

I have experience with this....awesome!
