Well, I don't know if Ben was copying my dad because I liked what he did for my mom when THEY were long distance dating or what, but one day I went to the mailbox and found a box with a tiny little potted cactus. It was SO CUTE! And, it lasted a LOT longer than flowers would've, and had more personality in my opinion! I really liked keeping the tradition alive just because it was funky too.

My boyfriend lives in the same town as Okie, Minnie, and Chelle... It's about 3 hours from my home, which is far enough!! But I'll be moving closer to him soon. Not just for him, but for a better job.  ;)

I'm sure the "Carrier Pigeons" would be glad to deliver your messages... maybe they would sing them. ;)

:searching: Who said I needed any messages delivered? I just said I like off the wall stuff.  :cool:

Yall have a lot more options now than we did.  We didn't have cell phones, text messaging, IM or email.  At least we had telephones. ;)

I know you'll enjoy that! While we were dating I got to see Ben about once a month in person because of the eight hour trip.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago I was in a long distance relationship with someone from Canada. A five hour drive. He came down every weekend. I was working so I didn't have time to miss him too much during the week. He called every night, though. LOL

I wish I could see Ralph every weekend... We both work during the week and he races horses on Sundays so it's hard to meet up when he's 3 hrs away.

move, or
get a different guy
:biggrin:

I think my sil & bro only saw each other 3 times in rl visits before they got married - week or two each visit I think

they talked on the phone from 12:00am fri morn to 11:59 fri night (free calling fridays) for like a year, then he finally met her and her family, she came and met us and he proposed, 6 months later met again for wedding

I kinda figure if you're ready and know what you're looking for its not that hard to tell if you've found it - if you know you can get along for a week its probably more efficient to go pray like crazy and then do something about it rather than worry about more follow up interviews.

Mom and Dad only saw each other 4 times before they got married. 2-3 day trips each time. It works. :)
Have you slapped that one dude from Indiana with a pie in the face today?

First:
Find a man.

Second:
Ummm...  I think I need a little help on step one before I try to figure out how to communicate with him!

Maybe step one should be: Find a man who CAN communicate. In which case, step two should take care of itself. ;)

Manufacture an _excuse_ Elona. Not manufacture the guy. ;) And contrary to popular female opinion... there are indeed men who can, and do, communicate. *grin*
