I´m in a wonderful relationship for about 9 months. We needed almost a year to get together though xD
We got to know each other through a chat (I don´t have a real life). Its strange though, the first time we talked on msn I just knew that we would fit very well together and I developed a major crush on him, which was too early. At that point in my life I had still a lot of trouble from my past bad relationship going on (lived at my moms place until I found an apartment, had no self esteem at all, etc), so he decided to meet another girl, who was not having that kind of trouble and lived very near to him. Yeah, I was very heartbroken.
But actually that thing between them only lasted for a month..
Then I got to know another guy, first I didn´t realize that he would even like me and also he lived soooo far away..that stuff distracted me from my heartache at least. We met 2 times, but that guy never wanted to call it a relationship and never spoke to his friends about me. I felt like a stupid secret and couldn´t go on like this and btw I always felt kind of uncomfortable with him, like I needed to pretend something I wasn´t.
Meanwhile I found an apartment and suddenly that guy that I liked in the first place talked to me every day again. This time I was a lot more careful though.
In the end I met him finally in person and it was simply one of the best things that happened to me so far
(yes, he regretted not meeting me earlier)
EDIT: I´d rather be single forever than ever in a bad relationship again.
