For those involved in a long distance relationship, the internet can be an invaluable resource. Flowers and poetry cross continents in minutes, love letters are delivered with the touch of a button. Whether communicating through email, conversing via instant message programs or spending time together in a chatroom, the web provides a quick, practical means by which to stay in touch. Thanks to the speed and accessibility of the internet, couples can contact each other at any time, letting each other know, "I'm thinking of you at this very moment." They can share sentiments and connect in a right here, right now way that snail mail doesn't provide. The internet also allows loved ones to spend unlimited time together. Much to the chagrin of our overpriced long distance phone service providers, Jean-Marc and I have spent countless hours together in chatrooms, talking, dreaming, laughing, weeping and simply enjoying each others companay.
Admittedly, we may have an advantage over many long distance couples - having met on the internet, we learned the value of web communication right from the start. Before we ever met in person, we knew that words on a screen can be just as powerful as the audio/visual brand of conversation. As long as the sentiment is sincere, the feelings come through loud and clear. And "cyber dating" can be romantic, fun and fulfilling
Skeptical? Well, hey, don't just take my word for it, why not give it a whirl? Spend a "night out" with your love in a popular chatroom and see how much fun you can have mingling with others while whispering sweet nothings into each others' private message windows. Or, spend a quiet evening talking in a less crowded room, or playing an interactive game together. Rather be alone? Create a private chatroom and spend the time relaxing together, exchanging thoughts, talking, laughing, sharing your innermost thoughts and dreams or even engaging in some wildly...errr...stimulating conversation....
