My name is Melanee, and I'm currently 22 years old. I met Dave on AOL in July of 1997 when I was 19. When we met, we were both involved in other relationships. Him, a 6 year relationship with his fiance and mother of his, at the time, 1 year old twin daughters. I was with my fiance, who I had been with since I was 16. I was in a chat room that night, and I remember it like it was yesterday. He had been in the room, and IM'd me a little later on. He said that my profile looked interesting, and we continued to talk until the wee hours of the morning. At that time, neither of us had revealed our ages. All I knew was that I lived in Texas, and that he lived in Washington State.
We continued to talk online almost every day...and I soon became online friends with his fiance, also. By this time, he knew that I was 19, and I had found that he was 32. It didn't really make that much difference since we were just online friends. It was when we began talking on the phone (about 3 months later) that I began to realize that there was more to the relationship between he and I than either of us was willing to admit at the time.
About a month after we began talking on the phone, his fiance started catching on to the fact that there was something more going on between Dave and I than just a friendship, and forbid him to talk to me from then on. That didn't stop him much, because he would just call from work.
In February of 1998, I moved from Killeen, TX to Austin, TX...and that was about the time that Dave stopped contacting me. I was so heartbroken...yet, I was also still with my fiance, and he with his. From Feb of '98 to Jan of '99, we talked only a couple of times online...and he felt that both of us wanted something that could never be. So at that time...we said our goodby's, never to speak again...or so I though.
Over a year had gone by that Dave and I hadn't talked. I had changed screennames twice in that time, and he was no longer on AOL. Although always in my heart...he had been erased from my mind. Until April 14, 2000.
