Dear Dan and Jennifer,
I just watched your video reply to the chick in California and would like to share my personal experience.
I met my now-boyfriend, "David", last September in a role-play chat-room. I was almost 17 and a half and he proudly boasted of his 47 years of existence on earth! Well, somehow, we were just deeply connected. We chatted almost everyday and in just over a month, developed strong feelings for each other. We have been together since and are planning on meeting this weekend! I'm so excited for the meeting especially since, well, I'm an adult now. I do have to say though that we are probably one of few very rare cases. Online and long-distance dating don't always mesh well I suppose and when you throw in a huge gap, many eyebrows are raised. We have our differences just like any couple, but David and I are so in love with each other!!
I would just like to add that being in love ROCKS, I'm so lucky to experience something like this so early on and also, that you have to get through a lot of bad apples to find the best one in the lot
Best wishes!
