I can't believe I made an account just to reply to this. This is Ama, by the way, if you didn't guess. I really thought I could avoid commenting, but no. The urge to respond is too strong...

The only problem I see with the relationship going on is the around 12 year age difference...unless she plans on attending graduate school in the US or something. Someone born in 1978 with someone who's just planning to go to college? Uh-oh.
You're off by a bit. I mean, if the gap was 12 years it would have been far from legal (in the States) at first. There is quite a gap but not everyone who goes to college 18. At least in my social circle that "not everyone" would be "almost no one", but I doubt the people I hung out with in high school could be considered normal.
Traxitus... What?

I am confused at how this story isn't the same as me leaving my wife at the house while I meet other women at a local club/bar?
I'm confused by this comment... When did anyone say they were married? I got out of a bad situation, he wasn't seeing anyone. The ex-wife thing was a long time ago, but the story wasn't about that so he didn't expand on it. No one set out with the intention of hooking up, if we had we'd have met on eHarmony or something. Perhaps I didn't act in what you'd consider the best way, and if that's what you were commenting on, well... Go ahead I suppose. *shrug* Just wanted to clear that up a bit.
Any comments I could give to Josh directly about the article I've already given, so I'll just leave it at that. I'm happy that just about everyone's got what he was trying to say: meeting people online isn't any different from in person, and sometimes better. Sometimes it isn't better, but you can't expect perfection from any relationship with anyone you meet anywhere, romantic or otherwise.
